I'm guessing this tool chest was made in the 1990s...
There's a few stains on the LH side of the chest...
Stains on the RH side of the chest too...

This drawer (designed to fit the Machinist's handbook) is too tight. I need to sand down the sides slightly so that it's not sticky...
The bottom of the drawers are steel...
The drawers have a check-ball mechanism to keep them from being pulled all the way out.
If you want to remove them, you have to use some extra force to get past the check ball.
It's a very smart design.

This screw acts as the stop that the check ball has to get past...
The drawer felt are dirty but not too bad (some are worse than others).
Started cleaning the inside of the front lid.
It's very dirty and stained...
The kitchen scrubber is needed for the stains...
The wood is cleaning up OK. It will still have some evidence of the stains but it will be good enough when I'm done with it...
Cleaned the felt a little bit too. The wood is coming along. Still need some more cleaning...
Some of the stains are on top of the surface and can be scraped off with a blade...
Some more stuff/stains on the surface...
Scraping the stain of the drawers on the RH side...
Still in process...
