cobalt said:Yes, and there was some talk on the oldtools list that possibly this is the reason they only gave the guy 3rd place, since it wasn't very original, although really nice.

TW,
Classic! Thanks for the laugh. I've stored my tools in various cardboard boxes for years. Only recently have I gotten them up off the floor. Tom

 About 18 linear feet of shelving, packed solid.

I have two "tills" with backsaws, Harold, but the larger saws wont fit in the tills so they are tied together in bunches like banannas and are hanging on the walls..

Here are a couple of shots of mine. It's a work in long term progress. I add to it once something becomes difficult to store or find due to muliplication problems :}
  PS stealth gloat: I haven't made a home for the new Shepherd shoulder plane at the bottom left.

Not quite finished, yet, but getting close....finally, if you ask LOML!
 still need to finish up the various tool holders and the drawers. (edit: couldn't get the pics linked) Tool Chest pics Case is solid cherry case with handcut DTs and wedged through mortises on two shelves. Doors are cherry frame with veneered curly big leaf maple with veneered Jatoba trim. Drawers will have curly maple fronts from the same board that I used to get the door veneers. The two doors open showing the chisel racks and saw storage. The two full size saws are in a hinged holder that swings out for access to the rear saw. Looking forward to finishing it, mounting it on the wall, and seeing it with all my tools!  (so I can move on to the next project!)
