New Hand Tool Rack
A workbench and vise are the first, last and most important tools without which all others would be only half as useful.
Aldren A. Watson, Hand Tools: Their Ways and Workings, 1982
Sorry for the bright photos, I didn't have time this afternoon to take any pics, but today was spent re-installing some old shelves to hold planes, etc., and a new tool rack.
Space in my studio is at a premium, my plan is to empty the tool chest and get it off the studio floor, I am tired of walking around it. It was nice to build a shelf box to display my joiner and jack planes!
(Yes, that is a photo of me playing my guitar at a Chris Parkening master class at Montana State University, Bozeman, Montana back in August 1980!)
As much as I love my tool chest, a tool rack gives immediate access to certain hand tools. Another set of shelves will be built and I need to figure out where to put the drawknives and hand saws! This shot shows only half of the chisels that I own and use, I have too many tools! And the Rocky Mountain Tool Collectors meeting is next Sunday! I am doomed!

Good to have the tools where you can see and reach them, Wilson. Nifty chisel rack!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing what you come up with next.
Thanks, Rob!
ReplyDeleteI forgot how nice it is to have a tool rack! It's been about four years since I've had a shop that had a tool rack.
