Thank you all for your encouraging words and remarks. You have given me enough reason why I should build a second tool chest! Thanks again.

Chuck:

I didn’t even NOTICE that middle panel !

a) What’s on each side of it, and

b) Yet another point toward your easily-earned “A+” rating !

Hi Neil,

Eagle eye!

The swing panel has recessed holes drilled and rare magnets installed to keep the rasps and files. On the back side, the mini-files are kept in tubes. There’s still room on the back of the panel for more tools. I swing it out when I need to get the combination square or the bevel-up hand planes. By the way, there’re magnets on the angled shelf to pull each plane tight to the surface. I am all for the use of magnets in the shop. Thanks for your question.

Great feature … and … yeah … aren’t rare earth magnets just one of the many gifts to woodworkers !?

This is a great set of tools very well organized. Very few things that you could not build with this small kit.

Enjoy.

A beautiful and totally functional piece of work. Lots of thought and quality – well done.
