Movable Chisel Holders

Nice job, I like what you’ve done. How is the stability factor when they are free standing and not on the French cleats on the wall?

Ive been hacking away unsuccessfully trying to make a chisel rack for a while now … 3 failed attempts. I like your rack Rich .. thats right i said it.

I love the idea of a movable rack. Hang it on the tool cabinet doors when you’re not using it and then carry it over to the bench when you need them. Have you thought about adding some weighs to the bottom to keep it stable on the bench when standing upright? Does it need it? Or, design it to be laid down on its back, to avoid the issue of tipping… Great idea.

You win the tip of the day what a neat idea love the versatility of this rack…thanks for posting BC

Very well thought out, I like the dovetail on the front bottom rail
as well.

Brilliant idea to store chisels. Looking forward for the completion of the entire plan. Good job.

Thanks for the encouragement.

Stability isn’t a problem. The weight is centered in the top piece. The back bottom piece sits on the workbench and completes a rectangular contact with the workbench, plus it will keep it the same distance off the door of a cabinet that the French cleat does.

Really great idea. One that I would like to,...uhm use. With my shop setup these would be really handy. Do you mind?

Tokolosi – glad you like it. Hope it helps in your shop.
