Keyboard issues this morning...had to go and replace it. Seems a cat had walked across the computer desk, and knocked over my glass of Tonic & Gin...right onto the keyboard.

The other end was fine as is..checked each end for square-ness..
518331
And the other end.....
Well, a couple of them were on the job..without any issues..

11-1/2" long, 5" tall..and 5" front to back...hoping for 6 larger chisels and 6 smaller chisels..between the upper Compartment and the lower drawer...depends on how big the handles are..
Really...oh well...
Note: For those that want to try the tablesaw as a Kerfing Tool...make sure the kerf it leaves matches the kerf the rip saw will make....otherwise, you will need a plane...

Maybe take a plan from Paul Sellers Masterclasses, and build...
