Chisel Rack

That’s pretty neat. Better than my magnetic strip from harbor freight. I just might have to use your idea and make me one. Nice job.

Good design, I built in a french cleat into the back of the one I built so when not in use they hang in the tool cabinet.

Very nicely done, Jim, the box elder is a wonderful looking choice.

Thanks for all the nice comments. I just have to have a place for tools like this out where I can see them and gram them at will.

Hi Andre. I guess I could have put a french cleat on this but I won’t be moving it and two screws did the trick.

Hi James. I have a drawing of this if you would like one. I used 2 forstner bits- a 1 1/4” and a 11/16”..... that is based on the size of the handles. Yours might be different. I bored the 1 1/4 in about 3/8” then I followed that center down 1 1/2” with the 11/16” bit. Then I put the 1 1/4 back in and cut it to 1” deep. It is a lot easier to cut with the center hogged out. I have 2 slabs I got from Johh Pflug’s sawmill that he cut during the guild picnic last year. they are both live edge.

Hi sawdust, that channel is a separate piece. I cut a rabbet with 2 cuts on the table saw and then glued a little bock in each end for more gluing surface to this rack.

Hi Lew I have another block from that end but it does not have much red in it. It has less rot but not as pretty!!
