Mortise Chisels getting a new home?

Do you find the wooden boxes are good at fending off rust?

That would depend on the wood itself...

Case has been stained inside and out..
   
Then a coat of warm Gloss Poly on just the outside..
   
Needed a place to hang this...so..
   
I cleared off this space....with the items that were sitting here, being moved to the edge of the Tool Cabinet's Left Door..
   

There was a "problem" though...the Framer's Mortise Chisel was sitting too low, and would not let the case's door open or close..we have ways...
I added a place for the end of the chisel to stop at...and not rattle around...

Then 2 pilot holes to hang the case up...MK 4 EyeBalls to set for plumb...and..
   
You can also see the Stop/Rest for that HUGE chisel...Close the Case's door..
   
Then test to see IF the Tool Cabinet Door can open at least 90 degrees...without banging into the Chisel case's side..
   
Seems to do the job...so, close things up...
   
And call it a day....thanks for looking in!

Nice build thread. Thanks.

How do you access the chisels that are not on the door?

Also, that line of grinders/sanders looks interesting. Do you have them on mobility stands?

The chisels not on the door have a "keeper" that swings out..
   
That is held closed by a shop made Thumbscrew....unscrew the bolt, keeper will swing open, I select a chisel or 2, then close the Keeper back up


H-F 6" Disc & 36" beltsander  machine just sits in the same tabletop as the Tool Cabinet does...The Cummins/Mack Grinder sits on a shelf that runs the width/length of that Tabletop...

Shop does NOT have the space available for a roll-around cart...
