Antique Starrett showcase / cabinet

Another intricate cabinet made by our master carpenter, base with locking glass doors to match as a base for an antique triangular Starrett cabinet that we found.

Finished 8 ft hight showcase, just need to add plexiglass to the sliding doors, for Swedish high end axes

Also the beginning of putting up antique tool boards, potentially could put up 150 ft of displays around the store

Current development, a 12 ft long 8 ft high future showcase for swedish made axes. Alot of engineering and thinking out by our master cabinet maker. Picture below are some of the axes shown that will be in the showcase.

Jon Crane, long time customer, recently re-edited video and posted it on Y-T a 11 minute piece on Hardwick’s showing the result of the store’s intense improvement of its last 45 years. The tool room had mostly just tables & 4 showcases which developed into 30 showcases and pegboard to the ceiling. Father was purchasing from 25 companies in 1975. Bill & I increased that in 20 years later to 150, not only from the US but also importing from Europe and Japan. A supporting role was from Lloyd Anderson from the mid 80’s onward who was our store manager and a great help.

A challenging corner cabinet made for our garden tools, 4ft x 6ft x 7ft high

Update on progress. Slow, but moving forward everyday. Photo is of western side of the showroom/store. Opening in 2024

Slow but sure adding aspects to the new store in Post Falls, an overhead rack to add to vertical display of Klein Tools. An effort to add to the Piled High & Deep. Second picture is shelving and pegboard made from wood as opposed to cold metal.
