My #71 1/2 hangs on a nail through the empty screw hole in the casting and my mini Veritas router sits on a small little open shelf spot for little tools.

Rob, I have several shoe boxes with your tools in them. I live in a moist humid environment and my tools are rust free.
There are a lot of tools your company made in those boxes. I made a new wooden box for your detail chisels after Hurricane Harvey.
They were wet and they rusted. I de-rusted them and coated them with Johnson Floor wax and made a new box fore them.
Do you have any new tools we need to know bout? just asking
I think I will buy more plastic totes and re-organize my shop.
On a shelf in my tool cabinet..Some protection

Rob Lee sent me a storage container to test and now that they have it available on their web site, I can release my review of the box:

If you do not yet have a box, this will save you a bunch of time and it works very well. Clearly a lot of thought was put into their box. I love mine. It also provides an idea of how they laid it out. Here is a picture of mine (only slightly modified).

Not much account for the Stanley version, is it? As for mine...

It sits very comfortably on top of the Stanley No. 45's case....
This is the one I made back in 2012. If I was doing it now I would use 1/2" stock as 3/4" is too clunky but it was a good learning experience.
Keeps everything organized and made it easy to pack when I closed up shop. I"m in the middle of moving.

Derek your love of tools smacks of idolatry.
My beliefs allow that BTW.
I used either a jig saw or coping saw, file, sandpaper. If I was making it now I would use a band saw, entering and exiting through the same kerf.
