[@OldSneelock]

I love the use of found materials. Most of a set of chisels is a great gift.😁😎

[@jackmaravola2496]

Your right, an awesome chisel rack..Very nice...Well organized..Well worth the extra effort....!

[@RJLguy]

Love your joy of inheriting a friend's tools! Demonstrates true humility and a charscter of gratitude. Patrick, you sre an infectious ambassador of woodworking. If chisels were pets, you be Dr. Doolittle. Way to rock. 😂

[@Patricksworkshop]

thanks so much for the kind words and thank you for watching

[@AdventuresInDIY]

Storing them sideways is awesome Patrick! That's a grip of chisels.

[@Patricksworkshop]

+AdventuresInDIY thanks Chris it is a few but it keeps them all in one spot and off the work bench

[@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff]

That's an interesting way to mount the rack. Pretty cool.

[@dnngskn62]

Nice chisel haul Patrick. The storage rack is nice. Good build.

[@kitts1234]

Great chisel xylophone lol looks great well done

[@rickprice407]

Nice rack. Inherited tools are the majority of what I have from flea markets and garage sales. Picked up some good chisels and hand planes over the years including some Stanleys that were built in the 1800s and early 1900s. Since no one seems to be teaching shop these days, no one learns to use them and we can get them pretty cheap. A little restoration and they are good to go. Love seeing older wood repurposed for projects like this as well. Good job.

[@mikemeara]

It's pretty great, Patrick. I like that you can see the sizes through the plastic. Hope you enjoy them!

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Kinderhook Woodcraft thanks so much yeah the plexi does make it user friendly thanks for watching i will enjoy the chisels thanks

[@budbirkenseer5277]

Very cleaver, time to gather my chisels, and rack them up...

[@ITSAWOODTHING]

That's awesome Patrick. Easy to see which chisel you need and great protection.

[@Patricksworkshop]

+ITS A WOOD THING yeah it makes it so nice to use thanks for the comment and for watching

[@KkmakeUkv]

It reminds me that cool kitchen knives stands. Very cool project.

[@Patricksworkshop]

+KK Make hey Karol im not sure of the knive stands but i like how this works for my chisels thanks for watching

[@chowderfaceable]

You're a cool guy Patrick. I love your stuff !

[@Unclebuddy01]

Nice chisel rack. I like the way you mounted it to the wall. I know you will enjoy the tools!

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Michael Trent thanks Michael i like the location since my shop is tiny i needed a good spot thanks for watching

[@jackmaravola2496]

Your right about that, awesome job Patrick....!

[@holzhandwerk_ak]

Good idea putting them vertically. Thanks for sharing!

[@robertevans6481]

Nice rack. Steve rolling in the background is cool...but you get dizzy watching him...lol great to see you back..

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Robert Evans thanks Robert Steve is a cool dude

[@charleslewis2862]

great looking storage for chisels --- good to see you producing vids again

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Charles Lewis thanks Charles yeah im back at it more to come

[@MichaelLawing]

Talk about an excellent use of the RAS! Nice design, Patrick. Looks super handy!

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Michael Lawing thanks Michael yeah the RAs works great for these types of cuts and many more thanks for commenting and for watching

[@AlphaTroniks]

coolest chisel rack ever seen !

[@leapinglemurcraftworks6426]

I like the clear view of the chisels - nice job. Still like you dust collection system on the radial arm saw. Scott

[@Patricksworkshop]

+The 2 Car Garage Shop thanks Scott i as well like the plexi it really work good for things like this and the dust collection on the RAS is working so so good thanks for watching

[@JohnHeisz]

You're right, it is a cool design :) Good one and the video moves along well.

[@Patricksworkshop]

+John Heisz thanks John appreciate you watching thanks

[@larryclement2250]

A big thumbs up Patrick. A great idea and very well done.

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Larry Clement thanks Larry thanks for that

[@barstad-9591]

Nice shirt and shoutout to Nick Ferry. Brilliant design! Thanks.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Cool idea, the plexiglass is a cool idea to see the chisel you need easily! Nice!

[@patriotsriot]

Genius and a great upcycle project Patrick!

[@Patricksworkshop]

+patriotsriot thank you sir

[@McGinnsWoodShop]

Great rack man! Love the plexy idea, really makes the holder POP!

[@Patricksworkshop]

+McGinn's WoodShop Thanks Jason

[@Woodtoolsworkshop]

Nicely done! Using the plexiglass to leave the width visible is a great idea. While I was watching you make the repetitive cuts to get width, I was thinking that the next fancy tool somebody needs to build is a dedicated adjustable dado machine, one that can mechanically set the width based on a size you input. Now, there's a Christmas present!

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Wood Tools Workshop thanks and thats a great idea for the auto adjustable dado saw good thinking stay tuned maybe i will come up with something thanks for watching

[@Irwin-Aviation]

The Design is really well done. It's easy to see the different sizes with the plexiglass and I personally like the orientation. Up/down rather than Left/right for space saving.

[@ronaldswymeler3102]

Really like your chisel rack. I plan to copy it. Thanks

[@shedmanx3640]

Love the design so much I made one myself. Worked fantastic. I unfortunately didn’t have thick plexiglass, only about 4mm thick. I soon found out to oversized the holes in the Plexiglass, to allow for wood expansion/contraction and not to use a cordless on the screws as either will crack the plastic. But I’ve had the rack for a year or so and it works well. Love being able to see at a glance which chisel to use.

[@JackbenchWoodworking]

Really like the idea of using plastic so you can see the chisels!

[@montewoods4766]

very innovative. wish this vid/was available two years ago

[@Patricksworkshop]

+montewoods thanks and I wish i thought of this idea then as well thanks for watching

[@GuysShop]

Undoubtedly the the most awesome chisel rack ever! Interesting design Patrick, and I like the vertical orientation. Nice work!

[@Patricksworkshop]

+GuysWoodshop thanks Guy it looks and works great thanks for commenting and for watching

[@tjwoodworkshop1411]

This is so cool. I love that you can see your chisels like that. Great job. The spinning carmichael head is little creepy but yet intriguing in a strange way.

[@jwmachen]

Great job, I love the mix of acrylic and wood in projects. Great to see the sizes at a glance. I'll have to make one of these for myself.

[@NickFerry]

great idea man - glad to see you back at it full force!!!

[@McGinnsWoodShop]

+Nick Ferry Yeaaaaaa

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Nick Ferry thanks buddy i am back at it thanks to you

[@andrewgrover]

Could have titled this video "radial arm saw...the only tool you'll ever need." lol. Nice simple yet very effective project. Think I'll make one similar.

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Andrew Grover ha radial Arm Saws have a bad wrap but like it and i said b4 i love this saw and will always have it in my arsenal thanks for watching

[@TheShavingWoodWorkshop]

Nice rack Patrick :-) Great project and video I really like the use of the plexiglass, it makes really easy to see which chisel you're grabbing

[@Patricksworkshop]

+The ShavingWood Workshop thanks Tommy thanks for commenting and for the support my friend

[@TheShavingWoodWorkshop]

Always :-)

[@josenoriega6016]

nice chisel rack! Thanks for sharing!

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Jose Noriega thank you for watching

[@BrainFizz]

Love the way you stored these! I would never thought about storing them that way round. great idea. that Steve guy is a GEM!

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Richard “BrainFizz” Morley thanks Richard i really think the way everyone stores their chisels is no good unless u have super fancy ones and you like to show them off lol thanks for watching

[@ManCrafting]

That was a pretty awesome chisel rack. Love that design.

[@Patricksworkshop]

thanks Chad it is a original design and i love that i no longer have the chisels in my way and havent lost one since this build of the rack

[@audiotechlabs4650]

Patrick, man you have really upt your game with this video. Its new and bold and I love it! Great project. Glad you are back. Thankz

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Audio Tech Labs thanks so much for the comment and for watching more to come

[@gpd387]

Good idea, I'm shopping for ideas for a chisel storage rack also...

[@rampanttricky17]

nice design for a vertical rack. great way to have a good view of the blades. I think I might make a similar rack for my screwdrivers.

[@Patricksworkshop]

thanks i have a few more ideas like this but it will have to wait till i finish the table saw restoration i am working on thanks for watching

[@Bramsshed1913]

Great job Patrick ! and thanks for sharing!Take care, Bram.

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Brams shed thanks Brian

[@YTcustomchris]

That is the best looking one I have seen yet. I am going crazy or where there worms comes out of the wood as you was cutting it. I take it all the screws was for looks. Turned out great Patrick Thanks for posting.

[@Patricksworkshop]

well Chris your eyes are not tripping there might have been a few bugs in that wood b4 i sprayed it with raid and then burned the crap out on them and then soaked it with clear spray paint to seal them little guys in haha and the screws r for looks and to hold the plexi in place thanks for watching

[@robertmcdonald3101]

the wood used looks like a piece of side rail from a baby bed..i've used the same wood for many shop projects, as well as made some baby beds into small benches.. cool to see another who recycles stuff

[@jaytomes2856]

That is a great idea! I think I will borrow that for my shop.

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Jay Tomes sweet post a pic on facebook of yours and tag me so i can see thanks for watching

[@roberthaines1429]

This as all the. Other ones are great. They get you to thinking I got to get out in the shop making something. Thanks again

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Robert Haines sweet hope to see you make some vids thanks for watching and get out there and build

[@MikeKapotsy]

Very cool project Patrick, looks quick and easy and looks great! I may have to make one myself.

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Mike Kapotsy awesome Mike thanks so much and thanks for watching

[@GregAlanEdwardsEmmanuelRidge]

I don't know what made you think of the plexiglass but that was a very slick idea. see through tool racks should be available for everything. I think that's why I like magnetic so well. And who cares where the tools were bought. it's getting them from a friend is what is so cool

[@Patricksworkshop]

exactly these may be low quality chisels but with some work I got a few of them razor sharp and you're right I love the plexi fronts to see the tools thanks for watching and for the great comment

[@markjarman7819]

Them chisels are great. I bought a set here in the uk from Ireland. USA patent 💪

[@thatstofunny1111]

i love this idea. I will definitely be incorporating this into my shop when its finished. thanks for the idea!!

[@FredrikRambris]

Cool. Easy to see and chose the one you need. Kinda looks like those child xylophones. For extra fancyness magnets could be embedded to hold them even more.

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Fredrik Rambris Fredrik i also thought of magnets but i see no point the chisels are held in so good they wont just fall out , on my vid when i installed it my impact drill shook it more than it would ever move in a normal situation thanks for watching

[@PaulMeyette]

Looks pretty stinkin good Patrick. nice job

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Paul Meyette thanks Paul and thanks for sharing my vid much appreciated thanks for watching

[@bluenote1951]

Good job, Patrick! It came out real clean with the tools evenly spaced. The lucite is a nice touch.

[@heikow.7627]

Yes, thats what I like! Greetings from good old Germany

[@johnhammond5314]

Very nice Patrick. Keep up the good work and spreading your knowledge.John from Australia.

[@Patricksworkshop]

+John Hammond thanks John i will i have lots more in the works thank you for watching

[@mfwoodshop]

Cool project, editing is getting good.

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Mike Fulton thanks Mike and thank for watching

[@darbinorvar]

Came out really nice Patrick!

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Darbin Orvar thanks Linn

[@monkwerks]

I don't think I've ever seen chisels stored horizontally on a wall, but it looks like it works well and I love the use of acrylic. I suppose if they ever get a little lose in their holder, you could add a small magnet to the slot. Are you back full throttle for content creation now?

[@Patricksworkshop]

+MonkWerks with Fr. Thomas yeah if it got loose i suppose a magnet would hold it but remember that the handle is lighter that the point so the weight holds it in an i kind of make a tight fit and to answer your other question you will just have to wait and see thanks FR. Thomas thanks for watching

[@MichaelCoghill88]

Very cool! I like the idea of using what I assume was plexi-glass!

[@aussiebornandbred]

Awesome idea mate, just what i was looking for, but i think i will angle my chisels a little bit maybe 75 degrees , so there is less chance of accidentally being pulled or knocked out, great video mate👍👍

[@BrianMcCauleyDesign]

Nice work man. Cool idea. I like how you can see each chisel.

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Brian McCauley thanks Brian it does look cook thanks for watching

[@Tuxdaddy]

Definitely gave me an idea for my set..Thanks for sharing the knowledge Sir ..

[@JimDockrellWatertone]

Good idea, I like how all the sharp edges are covered!

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Jim Dockrell (Watertone) yeah me to i cut my self a while back on a chisel hanging like all the traditional hangers and when thinking of this design i wanted to have the tips sealed and this it what i thought of thanks for watching

[@stephentebbutt7161]

Hi that is so clever mate, I noticed when you were cutting out for you chisels your blade was burning the wood. This could be a build up of resins on the saw blade, you could clean it with methylated spirits. No naked flames when doing this. Cheers

[@SimplyWoodenCreations1980]

Great idea, nice work and you can see what chisel you are grabbing....

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Simply Wooden Creations thanks Russ the plexi makes it look better than just a hanging the chisels dont you think thanks for watching

[@richarddettore3034]

Patrick, great design for a vertical rack with plexiglass. I am making one that will fit in an open tool cabinet and handles will point out into the room for easy access and I can mark the size of each for eay view. Thx.

[@moyperezwoodshop1722]

Definitely a coolness factor of ten buddy. Awesome project and video Patrick.

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Moy perez woodshop thanks Moy hey i heard u got a dust collector lol thanks buddy

[@moyperezwoodshop1722]

Patrick's work shop oh yeah buddyy.its the gray one from harbor freight..!

[@DesignBuildExecute]

+Moy perez woodshop I heard you're thinking about buying a new gray dust collector from Harbor Freight.

[@moyperezwoodshop1722]

+Jason Rausch yeah jason.. I heard they suck pretty good

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Moy perez woodshop yup i heard they can be bought with a 20% off coupon as well

[@SawDustMakerRJM]

Fantastic job on the chisel rack Patrick. Great job on the video editing.

[@Josef_R]

Excellent!

[@BCdesign1]

really nice design Patrick!!nice work

[@Patricksworkshop]

+BCdesign thank you

[@TheMarcball]

very cool ! keep on trucking, chief !

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Celmar thanks and thats the plan thanks for watching

[@MosquitoMade]

Pretty sweet chisel rack, I made something similar for my brace bits over the weekend

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Chris “Mosquito” Albee sweet post a pick somewhere and tag me so i can see thanks for watching

[@MosquitoMade]

+Patrick's work shop It may depend on how similar "similar" is I guess. I drilled a bunch of holes (one with each bit) in a 2x4 and put it on the side of a small enclosed plane till I made. Will try to get a picture of it posted tonight :)

[@Captain2021Murphy]

Brilliant!!!

[@EvanDunville]

cool chisel rack!

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Evan Dunville thanks Evan

[@MTeipen]

Nice idea. Greetings from germany.

[@johnsobj]

Nice thought to hand it vertically but I'd be interested to hear if the vibration from the lumber rack causes any issues with the chisels jiggling loose. Thanks! I love new thinking and designs.

[@AwesomeWoodThings]

Looks great and the ability to see the chisels is a huge plus. My goodness... you used a lot of screws. More = Better! Ha ha

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Awesome Wood Things thanks and 32 screws anit to many it makes it 32 time cooler thanks for watching

[@Arbwoodworks32]

Good lookin chisel rack! The plexi was a great idea!

[@brian-hall]

Great, I like the vertical design. Would it be an idea to orient it slightly clockwise so there is less chance of chisels falling out? A couple at the bottom don't look too secure.

[@Mitermikeswoodshop]

Nice one Patrick. My daughter walked over when you were putting the screws in and say wow is he making a xylophone? I started laughing....well maybe i will ask him to make you one i said.....lol.

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Miter Mike's Woodshop well ill have to add it to the list thanks Mike and thanks for watching

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Very Cool Design, Steve's a Cool Dude, Nice Work Buddy

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Sterling Davis thanks Sterling it has a cool looks and im all about looking cool thanks fir watching

[@Spanky8402]

I just took a piece of wood and drilled holes in it for the different sized chisels that I have. I have the same chisels you have but I have noticed that mine get dull cause nothing is protecting the tips and it is on my bench. I am going to give your method a shot cause it looks like it works.

[@eln74]

Patrick tnx for sharing this nice idea that we can apply to any of our tools around the shop. Tnx again and keep up the good woodworking job!!! :D

[@Patricksworkshop]

+Emmanuel Lopez thanks Emmanuel i can see using this on drill bits and other items thanks for watching

[@BengtRosini13]

It looks great. Makes me think some of them may be apt to fall out. Maybe its just my shop set up that shakes too much from hand sawing or other similar activities. The plexiglass front is a nice touch for good visibility of what tool is where.

[@ltmando2755]

Thank you pat for this , great idea and the video was well edited nice work all around .

[@Patricksworkshop]

+lt mando thank you

[@user-dw6cb6hw2s]

Хорошая идея возьму на заметку. Спасибо.

[@kperellie]

[@Patricksworkshop]

+kperellie thank so much and thanks for watching

[@artconnolly9519]

So cool I'm gonna copy your design if you dont mind but add some neodymium magnets behind them so I can store them vertical as well. Great job brother

[@joserivero6376]

Very nice project.

[@RedBeardCarpentryWoodworks]

Love the way that turned out, nice clean and organized! The plexi was a great idea, this is definitely going on my build list!!
