traveling with chisels??

Pat, I’ve wrapped mine in some of my old business cards and then duct taped over those. Mine have lasted quite a while. Only replaced the one that I use the most at the village. But they make nice little sheaths. I’m sure tho there are much better ways.

You can buy or make a chisel roll for them. Here’s the one that Lie-Nielsen makes, but I’m sure there are also cheaper alternatives:

I’ve gone to the hardware store and bought short lengths of different size clear plastic tubing with rather heavy walls. Squash the tubing flat in a vise, maybe warming it a bit if it’s really stiff, and stick the appropriate size chisel into it. Usually a short length, about 2”, seems to work well. It goes on and off easy enough but the flex keeps it on the tool, especially if it is in a pocket.

I think LV sells plastic edge covers. Maybe an option.

Guys, I think the easiest one here is the plastic tubing. I found a couple pics of individual leather sheaths made from old belts. I was thinking of perhaps setting up the dado and making a small wooden sheath with a piece of suede glued to it to tie it?? I have to see how well the tubing holds up. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
