This project started down in the ‘Woodworking projects’ area here https://sawmillcreek.org/showthread....vel-work-bench
ths a continuation of that build as I am now fitting the little bench with hand tools. If you haven’t seen the other thread this is what the bench looks like.

It is small, the top is 6”x14” and it stands 7 1/2” tall. I want to outfit it with all the primary tools to build a box or cave a peg head for a dulcimer or any other task. For those following along from the beginning here is the last page of the article that lists the tools the original bench carried.

My needs are not gunsmithing so I will pack it with tools useful to me. Space is at a premium, only .21 cubic feet as in the original handles have to be removable and multi use.
the top drawer hold most of the measuring and marking tools, I won’t name every tool so if you have questions just ask.

Next is lower drawer, three palm planes. The flat sole one has a rabbeting blade. 5 palm handled micro carving tools. Two of the tiny Veritas marking gauges, a larger bevel gauge a blued steel scraper and a drill gauge.
