Japanese Chisel Box

Nice job Blake. Are the magnets under a layer of veneer? I’m a fanatic of using those magnets for unusual applications and the idea of being able to not only hold the beautiful chisels safe but also to hung up the box is very clever.

I love the kerf spline, it looks like you used a japanese saw to make them, didn’t you?

Very nice project to keep valuable tools safe and organized. Another example of the use of scraps.

Excellent craftsmanship. One comment about the leather. In the early days of FWW, someone published an article about a special box for a pistol. One of the letters to the editor warned about the products used in modern tanning and how it could cause rust. I do not remember the reply from the original poster, but I have always wondered about that. Have you noticed any unusual rusting of your chisels?

A beautiful way to store some great looking chisels.
