Here are some pics of the process and final product of the
toolbox project:

| The only new hardware installed |
The new lining was scraped out with a paint scraper and wiped clean. I then used some spray adhesive to put the new lining in. It smells like synthetic leather... pretty terrible, but it looks nice and I figure it will go away eventually. I'm pretty happy with the results.

| Cam lock to be cut |
The cam lock also needed to be replaced (so I could actually lock the damn thing). Using a
Dremel I cut out the old shape into the new lock. All in all, an inexpensive, simple, and satisfying project with a functional product. Plus, it still has the old rustic look of the original toolbox, which is one of the reasons I like it so much.
