Blast from the past - bandit571 - 01-11-2022 Out of lumber right so...older Project.. [attachment=39897] Decided these needed a better place to stay, than rolling around in a drawer, somewhere... [attachment=39898] Gathered some tools..had a bit of scrap I could use for a box... [attachment=39899] Needed to know how big the box would be... [attachment=39900] 4 sides about ready to go...through dovetails...grooves go all the way around...test fit.. [attachment=39901] Needed to know where to make a cut, so the lid could be sawn off, after the glue up was done.. [attachment=39902] Wasn't that hard to do. [attachment=39903] I did have to plane the saw marks off, so the lid would fit better.. [attachment=39904] Add some hinges, and see about dividers to house the chisels... [attachment=39905] By turning the chisels 90 degrees, room for an eighth chisel appeared... [attachment=39906] Added some foam and some wooden pads to hold the chisels in place.... Stay tuned for the finished case.. RE: Blast from the past - bandit571 - 01-11-2022 A case to hold the shop's Extra chisels in....instead of rattling around in a drawer.. [attachment=39907] From the back. Wood Poplar. panels for the top and bottom are 1/4" plywood. Stain is called Gunstock.. [attachment=39908] Simple latch up in front.. [attachment=39909] Added handles on the ends, makes it easy to pick up and carry.. [attachment=39910] What the stain started out as....a might TOO red...dialed it back a bit.. [attachment=39911] Seemed to look a bit better... Just a way to store a few "extra" chisels....until needed. Nothing all that fancy.. RE: Blast from the past - Admiral - 01-12-2022 I like Derek's better, but that's just me. RE: Blast from the past - bandit571 - 01-12-2022 His is more to show off with....mine was a simple way to store tools. His was to hold a set...mine was to simply hold the shop's extra chisels. Apples to oranges.... RE: Blast from the past - Handplanesandmore - 01-12-2022 I like Derek's use of magnets (I have never had problems with that), but I also like how you can pack more chisels in a box by alternating them. His is to impress (isn't that why we want to build?.....if not, go buy and not build); yours is to serve a functional need (also why we build). But too nice a box, I might not want to put it to use at all. Each has its own place is what I'm trying to say. Simon RE: Blast from the past - Philip1231 - 01-12-2022 I like it. I like the hinged top and the absence of magnets (magnets do funny things when you are sharpening). I also like the general look of your shop: seems like the perfect environment to enjoy a cold beer and talk all things WW. RE: Blast from the past - Arlin Eastman - 01-12-2022 I like how you protected the sharp ends or the cutty ends. Also nice to keep them from rattling around.
