I've been acquiring a few rasps & files over the years and have come to a point where I feel some sort of dedicated storage is warranted. I've got a diverse selection ranging from a set of small rifflers and needle files to 14" person cut rasps. 

How have you guys gone about this? Just looking for ideas - and any pics would be great!


Thanks!
Dave

I am curious about the lower hacksaw in the photo on the wall....I have an old one that looks very similar, with Amber celluloid handle scales made by "the New Haven Saw Works"...Wonder if there's a name on yours? Mine is a rugged saw frame.

Mine is marked "The West Haven Mfg Company" of West Haven, CT. Like yours, it is very sturdy. It is one of my favorite hack saws. I use it often.

Bob, I just looked at the one I have and it is also by the West Haven Mfg. Co. but has just one patent date of Jan.23, 1900. so it is a little older than your....and I was "dis-remembering" the handle ..It is what appears to be walnut..I also didn't get the Mfg. name right but I was just going by my old memory....I have a fondness for hacksaws and am always on the lookout for different styles..I remember buying this saw at the big antique flea market at Sturbridge Ma. many years ago at Martin Donnely's  booth for $35.00..It is really a rugged saw frame...Needless to say I was really surprised to see another hanging on your tool board!!!!! And thank you for posting photos of it!! Now I know another one exists!!!!!!
