Great idea and application. I have been picking up well abused and unloved chisels. Bringing them back to life with sharp edges and bright metal is one thing, but knocking off the plastic handles and building beautiful wooden ones is the next level. This is JUST the thing to keep them safe and to appreciate one's work.

Now that’s an ingenious idea and a simple make up that thank you for posting

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thanks! I’m glad you like it!

[@mibobalou726]

I built something almost identical for chisel storage in my rack, but I also attached a small sheet of scrap lexan over the bottom of the blade area so that there is no possibility of contact between chisel tips and errant hands. It looks cool, too.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Sounds great!

[@johnkelley9877]

What a neat idea. It looks great too.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you, John!

[@DawnMontgomeryAuthor]

I hope we get an entire series showing each of the additions to your board!

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Dawn, I'm going to put together a video of the board in general, but not of each item. Some of them are very simple, and what remains can be covered in a general video. That said, I'm glad to know you're interested in the board - it's been a lot of work, lol.

[@DawnMontgomeryAuthor]

@@OneMinuteWorkbench I'm really looking forward to it!!!

[@DessieTots]

Great idea, thank you.

[@southerncustomcuts729]

This was exactly what I needed! Thanks!!

I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@bugnurddesigns5268]

Very clean. Great addition to the tool wall. 👍👍👍

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you!

[@hassanal-mosawi6049]

Thanks for showing how and sharing that, well done good idea

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you!

[@just-dl]

thoughts on this: what about the bottom piece (the "finger protector") being shaped like a french cleat, so that the tips are even more "encased" behind protective material. perhaps a bit of leather lining, to prevent the tips from getting dull? Not sure if that extra bit "to get behind" would make inserting and extracting chisels more difficult.

[@terristroh3965]

Simple and effective build!

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you, Terri!

[@KnottenWood]

Great idea. Was thinking maybe small earth magnets toward the tips of the chisels to keep them more secure.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you, Ian! Thanks for sharing that idea as well!

[@just-dl]

like!

[@amirkhan8225]

Well done Tommy, another great video. Cheers

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you!

[@KennyB9871]

Good idea! Great video!

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you!

[@dirtybaywoodshop-joeporter5650]

Very nice, Tommy! I really like the simple and functional design. I also like how it could easily be adapted for a French cleat system like I plan to put in my shop soon. Great video, Tommy! - Joe

[@igorpodosenov3683]

Awesome ! Definitely will do the same ! thx a lot !

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

I'm glad you found it useful!

[@peterg2900]

Hi. Excellent job. Great idea. Has given me an idea on my tool storage. Cheers! 👍 All the best. Take care and stay safe. 🇬🇧👌❤️

[@marting.7564]

Good stuff Tommy.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you!

[@TheGrantAlexander]

Great job! I totally need to do something similar for my chisels. They currently sit in my toolbox and sometimes get dinged by other tools.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you, Grant! I hear ya...that's exactly what was going on with mine. I also had trouble seeing them because they'd roll around in the drawer they were in, get out of order, and/or get covered by other tools. This is really part of a larger project, which is the wall-mounted tool board with all my most used tools. My goal is to be able to see everything, yet have them secured to the wall in way that they are easy to grab, but hard to accidentally knock off. Anyway, thanks again!

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Nice work on the chisel rack Tommy! Thanks for sharing the video with us.👌😎👍JP

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you, JP!

Your very welcome Tommy!😎

Nice one 👍 well done !

[@johnvodopija1743]

The safety rail along the bottom is a good idea 👍😎🇦🇺

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you!

[@dennisgibbs7772]

Thanks

[@thehawkc]

Nice thanks

[@welshknight1456]

screw a strip of clear perspex along the bottom front edge to protect the sharp chisel edges.

[@shadleyajam]

Sweet - I'm gonna do just that

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Awesome! Let me know how it turns out!

[@alanatkins4315]

Genius.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you, Alan!

[@tomaskozelsky6040]

Hello from Czech Republic...home of Narex.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Good chisels!

[@Dutchshedwoodshop]

I like your tool wall. Maybe i will do something similar after my workshop build series wich will be on youtube the upcoming weeks.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Awesome! If you do something similar, let me know how it turns out!

[@ENRIQUEMORALESFLORES-CANTELLI-]

Excelente, y muy practico.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

¡Gracias, Enrique! ¡Me alegra que pienses eso!

[@bobt2522]

Very nice and simple looking! I like the idea of attaching the tool holders to the wall with brad nails. Do you have other videos about your tool wall?

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you, Bob! I haven't completed the tool wall video yet, but hopefully will do so soon...stay tuned!

[@vagnercarneiromoreira9225]

Muito bom Tommy. Adorei 👌🏻

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Obrigado Vagner! Estou feliz que você gostou!

[@AlexeiTulkin.DIY.]

Cool👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you!

[@williamellis8993]

Nice rack but how about small squares of wood between chisels toward their tips to help keep them straight?

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thanks, William! That's a really a good idea!

[@chuckwheeler8259]

Great Plan. What brand of marking gauge do you use?

[@chuckwheeler8259]

Found it on your tools I use

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you, Chuck!

[@Poor_Mans_DIY]

Awesome! But I am starting to get very angry with watching your videos. Every time I watch, i think... "I want one of those!" LOL! Keep the videos coming!

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thanks! The good news is that you can build one!

[@Poor_Mans_DIY]

@@OneMinuteWorkbench True... but I have tons of our own projects to finish as well. I guess I will just have to keep watching your videos and try not to get jealous. :-)

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

I hope you get lots of time to work on your projects!

[@alexouretski115]

Why not add magnets just to ensure the chisels do not accidentally lift off the rack and injure you or anyone else?

[@Vman7757]

Where can I get chisels that are good but not a million dollars? Not the greatest? But not poor quality? Basically? Can do the job. I am new at this.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

The chisel I show in the video are Narex, and the are very good quality. You can find a set like mine on Amazon for about $100. Now, if you're just getting started out, you can go to Harbor Freight and buy a set for just a few bucks. They aren't terrible, and if you keep them sharp, you'll be plenty happy with those for a long time. In fact, if you buy a cheap set and learn how to sharpen and use those, you'll be in a better position to buy a good set, because you'll have made all your learning curve mistakes on the cheap set. I hope this helps!

[@Vman7757]

@@OneMinuteWorkbench thanks I have a harbor fright 5 minutes a way. Thanks

[@skogsmats]

Very good. Pust a sheet of plexiglas för more protection and still god visibilyty.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you! And thanks for sharing your idea!
