Stanley 45 Cutters Box

Surprisingly simple, and I really like it!

Too cool!! I might have to do something like that for mine.

Very Cool !!!

Wow, that is really nice Brandon.
That stepped shelf case came out cool!
Nice work.
I have to favorite this project, because I have similar sized items that would benefit from a case like this.
I hope it comes out half as nice as yours.
(That Stanley 45 is very nice too!)

Brandon—Very nice! I need to build one of these for my No 45 cutters. I have the original boxes they came in, but they are in marginal condition.

Thank you for the comments, everyone! I thought about recreating an original style box and printing out a reproduction label, but I just had this piece of walnut staring at me and I knew what needed to be done. :-)

Actually, I think yours is a little more practical than the original boxes.

My plane came with 2 sets of cutters in 2 separate boxes … I assume they sized the boxes to fit in a pocket or something. I built a case for mine …

... you can see the original cutter boxes in the second photo (held together with a rubber band).

Gerry, that 45 box is really nice. It will have to be one of my next projects for sure!

Thats a awfully nice box for the irons.
Elegant.

That was a few hours of quality time.

I love the direction you took. I wrroy about wood movement messing up the magnetic catch on mine, yours is much more sturdy. I have not had problems but I am terrified of dropping the box and watching my irons fly everywhere.
