Yup!

As I'm moving into new quarters I'm making the decisions as I go.
I'm hoping to turn Dad's wooden chest into a functional tool box
for my "small" tools… that I do indeed use.

I'll keep some of his tools — that I do use — squares, calipers, etc.

the rest… who knows… does a market exist for micrometers?
I'll have to find out.
