Hello Steve.
What are the chisels in the upper drawer sitting in? The white thing?
Hello Steve.
What are the chisels in the upper drawer sitting in? The white thing?
If you look across my bench ...
... the bench chisels most used are in a rack against the wall ...
The majority of my chisels are kept in a cabinet. I generally only take out those that will be used ...
Regards from Perth

Derek,
If you ever re tempted to sell the Kiyohisa pairing chisels you know where to find me
My clumsy, yet functional approach.
Sharp solves all manner of problems.

Looked pretty good until the plexiglass cracked around the screw hole. It turns out boards get wider or narrower when humidity changes??
The idea is to elongate the holes in the plastic so the screws can move with the wood and not transfer force to the plastic.
If the screws are countersunk machine screws, then the holes in the wood can be elongated, oval shaped instead of round, as long as the nut on the back is free to move against the wood.
