I recently got back into carving after many years and I find myself with dozens and dozens of chisels and gouges and such in a variety of sizes. I went overboard a bit.
They're all keen and I'd like to keep them that way after how long it took to establish the edges - but I don't want a storage solution that results in a hanging rack or similar. Are there more compact ways to store a bunch of chisels in a variety of sizes and without damaging the edges? The best I could think of is tool rolls. |

Back when I worked at a timber frame shop, we stored our chisels in blocks of wood with mortised holes for each size. Sort of how knives are stored in a wood block.

Bucket of kerosene. Zero rust. I can see them through the kerosene.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By cjk: Back when I worked at a timber frame shop, we stored our chisels in blocks of wood with mortised holes for each size. Sort of how knives are stored in a wood block. Duh. That seems quick and foolproof - easy enough to do with a bandsaw and glue. Thank you! I might very well go that route.

Interesting idea though. |

Rolls are good for taking the tools out off site. But they are bulky otherwise and not so quick to get stuff from. |

I store carbon steel knives in a thick cardboard sleeve made individually for each knife.

Magnetic rails from Harbor Freight, if you have the wall space and depending on how many chisels/gouges you have. You can set the rails in rows atop one another to make it more compact.

Thanks! |
