A couple of MAFE inspired chisel racks seem to fit nicely on the inside of the left door. Made from cherry, walnut and spalted oak cutoffs.

The top rack is not completely filled, so a few spacers on the left side.

Rules and misc, layout tools on the right. made use of some rare earth magnets.


My workbench has not been this clean in a while. :)

Looks pretty spiffy, Tim. What else goes in there, I assume there is still room in the main part of the cabinet?

Thanks Shane.
@Jim, Yes I will be putting in some planes, chisel hammer, a couple of small drawers to hold misc. that is coming up next. My goal is to be able to grab the tool I need without having to move something out of the way, it remains to be seen if I can accomplish this. Hoping to keep most everything modular so changes can be made more easily in the future, a removable tote of some kind may also have a role in this.

Totally love it! You did a much finer job of making the mounts attractive. Mine are cheap pine but it was still really fun to experiment. I have serious chisel envy and I’m glad you dressed their holder up, deservedly. You have some very fine hand tools and I love to see them respected this way:)

This is a great chisel rack indeed! Your tools seem to fit snugly in this custom cabinet of yours. Being in the closets Bergen industry, it is admiring to see such projects by inspiring individuals like you!
