Thought we'd all like to see what a hand forged tool box looks like. A lot of us would probably miss out on this.:-)

What a fantastic little puzzlebox to fold and rivet. If I tried to make that, I would wind up in a padded room wearing a sport coat that buckles up the back. GREAT craftsmanship!
wow thats a nice box, someone really done a nice job.
Don't forget there's free shipping if your the winning bidder.
Tool box ? Could be a Nine Course Gourmet Lunch Box !
Hmm, neat, the door with a slot has a lock, it has to be to put your money in after the job ....
I'm wondering what size fire box his forge used, and what size hammers in the forging...
heh, hmm, eek!
Item location: Jodhpur, RJ, India
So, I'm lost on this one......What part was forged???
Looks like some nice work, but not "forged".
I agree with you Keykeeper, nice hand made box but no hot worked metal here! I guess we have to get use to the fact that English changes over time. "They were forged into a great team and they struck while the iron was hot and ....." I think even some journalist have only a vague idea of the history/meaning of some metal working words.

or, more succinctly,
some journalist have only a vague idea of the meaning of words....
Yeah, I think "Hand-Wrought" might have been a better description. Wrought being a derivative of the verb "work".
Yes, that, and I before E except after C was about it for me in English class.....
