Finally found a Gerstner machinist chest that I could afford. Unfortunately it's in very rough shape and will require a complete restoration to even make it useable. It seems the best approach might be to completely disassemble it. The joints on these were apparently put together with hide glue so I'm hoping everything will come apart with some heat or steam. Anyone tackle this kind of project with some suggestions?
