Super idea. Built mine today; works perfectly for my chisels!

Thanks, Keith! I'm certainly going to do that... Except I'll use clear perspex as the front panel.

Great simple design. Pretty easy to add a french cleat to the back rather then screwing to the wall also. Thanks for the post!

I'm not a woodworker and probably never will since I live on the second level of an apartment building, but I love watching these videos. They are just nice and relaxing and who knows, maybe I'll need some random chisel trivia in the future. :) Keep up the good work!

Just made this, adapted to take 6 chisels and mounted to a French cleat! Thanks for the inspiration.

As I have told you before, I love these little 'cheapskate' projects. I have been storing my chisels in a plastic shoe box from Walmart. It's time that I make a few of these racks. Thanks again for this video. Stay safe.

Make do and reuse! It's great finding uses for small scraps and it's like you get something for nothing!

Great Idea...

Great little project that would suit screwdrivers too. If you cut the bottom at 45 degrees to expose the blade tip, it would make it easier to see which size is which. Really like these no nonsense jobs that even a numpty like me could do!

Good stuff.

These quick and simple projects are ideal for these strange times as do one and you get a good feeling that you haven't wasted a day.

It uses up all the small scraps around the workshop too!

Good little project. I would probably have the top third of the ‘face’ of the box cut out and open, so that you can easily see which width chisel you need, but keeping the cutting edges enclosed.

I know it must be difficult but I appreciate the more frequent uploads. Thanks for the escape from the crazy and keep up the great work!

This is a good idea I did the same thing with my chisels thanks for this video

An absolutely brilliant project

Must be the season for chisel rack builds, 3rd one I've seen in as many days and they're all different! 👌🏽 Nice easy design and will last the distance, for sure. 👍🏾

Love how this turned out

Simple but a nice place for them and well protected !! Chisels are nice tools . Well done !!!!!!

You're a methodical person mate and your ideas are inspirational. Great video chap

I tend to overthink things, and want to do everything perfectly. Because of this, I often stall on small projects that should be quick and easy - I've had a woodworking area set up in one of my sheds for about 2 years now, but up until a month ago, every tool was sitting in a drawer. I decided to stop procrastinating and do the bare minimum to get my tools onto the wall - I just went through last weekend and made simple tool holders like this chisel-holder, and already this week it's been nice to walk out and just grab a tool off the wall rather than rifle through drawers. And of course, every time I think "why didn't I do this sooner!?"

Hi. I made a my chisel rack couple years ago, very similar to your. Still does the job and I’m happy with it. Take care.

Great video, man! I've been trying to figure out how to make a knife block for my kitchen collection. Now I'm like - DUH! LOL

Great and easy quick project! might try it soon.

Nice one Keith looks good

Nice job Keith 👍

Great idea. Thank you.

Hi Keith, very simple, very effective, and good use of leftover timber. I think I might have incorporated some form of visual ID or labelling for each chisel. You'll get fed up with repeatedly lifting them up to select the chisel you want.

It’s not just the simple design which appeals (though it does), it’s your mindset: this is to make your chisels safe , easy to grab and protect their edge. Then do just enough tidying so that you’re not offended by an off-plumb angle or a ripped-out edge, every time you look at it.

Perspex fronts would have been my vote, otherwise I'd never remember which chisel was which!!

Good job you knew where the cabling was that feeds the socket. Could have had a shock! :)

Mate, hands and table saw blades 🚑🚑 I lost the tip of one finger & messed another up doing the same thing, wood caught a knot and chop chop... please don’t make the same mistake, that once is a painful lesson, Push sticks kick is the motto 👍👍👍

Dammit, I just built a chisel holder last weekend and this design is much simpler than what I came up with. Could have saved myself a good couple of hours of work.

Great little project. Mine are stored in the same way as yours were. Will get around to sorting that out in the future

Stick em on a French cleat and you could transport the set around the workshop to have them close at hand.

😊👍

You should write the size on the front that’s what I do instead of a rack like yours I just stapled a chisel roll to the wall and wrote the size on the front and that works really well

Simple but very effective project Keith! So you can see what the chisel you're grabbing is, you could also maybe make the front panel 3/4 of the height - that way the cutting edge is housed but still visible (if this makes sense :/)

Nice idea mate! I just organise them in size order (25, 18, 12, 6 from left to right) but that depends on me putting them back in the right place! 😂

I think I'd cut them in half so I could tell the size of the blade from the bottom before taking them out.

A piece of perspex would have been a great idea. As it is you can't see what size is where but in a one man workshop I don't suppose it matters as long as he always puts them back in the same place.

How many holes have you drilled so far in your walls? If you need to reorganize you might want to consider a French cleat system instead.

Nice idea. Are you going to mark the chisel sizes on the slots so you can go straight to the one you need?

Not green? 😉

Since you like challenges every now and than, the part at 2:20 made me think of one. Eye ball everything in a certain build, you're allowed to only measure once during the whole build. You're not allowed to build a full ruler etc first, since that's not part of the build. Other pieces that might help, are allowed (or is that to easy?)

I quite like that idea. I already know that my hand span at full stretch is 205mm though as I use it for measuring things all the time 😂

@@RagnBoneBrown Haha, well I don't wanna know what you're measuring with that ;) But all silliness aside, with that it would be still really difficult to measure something like 70mm. Unless you make some kind of "ruler" again. My theory is working relatively. So, in other words, just take a random size, and as long as the rest is a multiplication of that, it will just work and look fine. The biggest challenge is still overcoming your standard workflow.

I'm going to make one for my workshop at work, keep the blades hidden.

I keep mine in a drawer, but they're not very sharp, so I'm okay. LOL

The inability to see the size of each chisel is a fundamental flaw in this design. And I'm curious about why you used brad nails after the glue was set.

Wood glue isn't set after 20 mins. Just because it holds doesn't mean it's fully set

The problem with your rack is that you can't see the size of each chisel. I notice that a comment below suggests using clear perspex on the front. This would allow you to see each chisel and still keep the blades out of harm's way.

Fair point. I'm in the process of making a tool wall for my new workshop, that's why I'm looking for ideas. Yours is straight forward and effective so I'll probably make a similar rack, but I'll include a clear perspex front, then I'll have the best of both worlds. Thanks for the vid.

May I ask how you came about your username? I‘m curious :)

Not the best design as you can’t see what size each chisel is.
