Bump again.
...Naval Aviators, that had balz made of brass and the size of bowling balls, getting shot off the deck at night, in heavy seas, hoping that when they leave the deck that the ship is pointed towards the sky and not the water.

My cheap and easy one shown above still works fine. If you have the time, there are a whole lot nicer ones shown in this thread.

I have a very narrow space that I would like to put my plane till and am wondering do you like the fact that yours has no tilt? I was thinking of either using the method you show or the hang them by the knob? What is a good rule of thumb for the little dividers between each plane 1/2" square? http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w255/...C05291.jpg

You guys have some very nice cabinets and chests. I keep mine on a shelf with carpet. If I'm not going to be using them for awhile I put them in plane socks.

PS Greg you got it bad buddy! You may be too far down the slope to ever get back up.

I am happy with no tilt for my bigger planes. The brackets I made engage the planes so that I can easily put them up with confidence. The spacing was arbitrary, at the time the picture was taken my cabinet had a lot of room, I have since fit the planes a bit closer together. I would think 3/8" is a good minimum empty space between the planes or you are more ambitious, a 1/4" wooden divider like some here have done, would also work great.

My solution is similar to what others have done.
