Poplar chisel chest

Thanks Barry! I’m noticing your signature & it’s particularly relevant to this project! I’m not confident enough to try a new technique on a piece of $15/BF lumber that I spent a week dimensioning. I couldn’t agree with you more; I cut more poplar & pine than I do cherry and walnut. Thanks for the comment, Al

Thanks Dennis, it started off as a chisel-only chest. Eventually, my No45’s worked their way into the “plane cave” at the bottom & some frequently reached-for measuring tools occupied the top. I tend to reach for my sawed-off Marples & 2-cherries for routine tasks & really only got into the chest for mortise chisels. I’ve got about 20 E-bay’d Butchers that need some attention. I’ll definitely share them when completed. Thanks for the comment! Al

huu something I will look forward to see
next from homemade tools refurbed/restored is the best thing to use
gives a speciel feeling when you can tuch the history of the former owner and craftsman :-)

Envious of the work and chisel collection. I just picked up two more chisels that I have to re-hab.

Nice chisels. Did you restore them yourself? I have bought a few old ones from ebay

Rice Man, I did restore them myself & like you, I’m an avid Ebay hunter. I’m big on Butcher & Witherby but any chisel is welcome in my shop. I hope you’ll share yours one of these days!

Stopped to look at your projects after seeing your Andy comment. This chest has a good visual feel. Maybe its the picture composition, but I think its because of the chisels?
