Nice chest. Can I ask why you set the chisels with the blades up? Just curious.

Great job. You’ll enjoy this the rest of your life—may it be long and filled with many more outstanding projects.

Well made sir and very clever on the chisel holding area!

Sprevratil – I thought the same, but saw the narex chisels in another frame. I have a similar set by that company and the bottoms have a smaller diameter section with a bezel, the author is probably using that in the dimple to register the chisels so that they don’t move. Probably overkill as I prefer chisels blade down too, however, if he were to use the case for moving, he wouldnt have to worry about the chisels going anywhere!

Nice tool chest. I like the square storage idea.

Sprevratil – I placed the chisels cutting edge up mainly just to make it easier to grab them. After I am done with a chisel it’s easy to just drop it back in place and the magnets help to line the chisels up. When the bar goes on and you close the lid, there is no movement in the chisels so I don’t have to worry about the chisels getting full of nicks.

nice job.

Hi Justin.

With the weight of that thing, those handles will kill your hands in no time if you have to move it. I’d suggest making wooden covers for the handhold portion of the handles, a simple dowel split in half with a goove down the center of both halves, then glue them back together over the handles. Much easier on the hands.
