Another dovetail practice project

[Gary Benson]

Again, after returning from the Cosman class, I realized that I wanted several new saws. I ordered 3 Adria saws, one dovetail, one small rip tenon, and one small x-cut tenon. I thought it only fitting that their first project would be a saw till for storage. I seem to have fallen into a cherry box/frame with maple panel theme in the shop, no different here. I built it about 19 inches wide, 34 inches tall, initially to hold 9-10 saws, max size was my neighbor's vintage 26 inch rip Diston, smallest is my Wenzloff dovetail. Saving room for larger tenon saws, and at least 3 future panel saws. It is located on the wall, just to the left of my wall cabinet above the left side of the bench/face vise. I used thru miter dovetails, and thru wedges mortise and tenon to hold the cross brace. French cleat to hang it on the wall. Will continue to look better as the cherry darkens.
Thanks for looking,
Gary

Another couple of pics to show where the new saw till lives. Already in use, seems very handy, and should help keep the saws from getting dinged up in the tool well.

Gary, I love the mitered dovetails. With Jim Koepke's help, I am acquiring way too many rehabbed planes!!:eek: They are quickly taking over all available space in the till I built, and I think I could adapt this style to another "open face" plane till.

Nice work!
