Show us your machinist's toolbox, inside and out!

Here's a cabinet I made . Birch ply construction, pine drawer fronts and full extension slides. Thought I would take the opportunity to indulge in a bit of a tool gloat - the drawer slides cost a way lot more than the baby drill press and x-y table. Henry

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who loves to find the right tool just below the hand without to look for it… :)
 
even though I have a lot of tool boxs and machinist boxs, I like this idea better for a lot of things, this is the rolling work bench in the big shop, it is 6 foot long and holds a lot of tools, and it has a light above and a four 110 volt out lets on it, when i'm working on the tractor in the winter I move both of them in at one time and can move the bench where I need it,

I love the safe on the bottom :)
