I need a way to organize my chisels so I could find the right chisel, and I need a way to protect my chisels sharp edges from getting dull and from accidently cutting me while I was looking for the right chisel<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems logical that I would need multiple chisel racks, one for short chisels, one for long chisels and one for knives<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second chisel rack would be for Straight Handled chisels and would rest on the bottom of the rack, so I needed to pad the bottom to prevent damage to the cutting edges<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My general chisels have a relatively narrow handles, so I placed the holes 3\/4 inches apart to give me enough room to grab the chisels easily, but hold the maximum number of chisels<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The size of the overall rack was determined by cutting a piece of pallet wood in 1\/2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What materials\/tools are required?<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recycled Pallet Wood – Actually, Any Wood will work OK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glue – Yellow Carpenters Glue Works Well<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9\/16 Spade Drill Bit – A Drill bit 1\/16 bigger than the Chisel Handle<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drill Press – Not Required, but helps alot<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started by marking the top board with a series of holes 3\/4 inches apart, 3\/4 inch from the side the board<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used Harbor Freight’s Mini Drill Press to Drill all the holes, 1\/2 way thru from 1 side and finishing on the other side, to prevent tear out<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was very happy with the finished chisel rack, the chisel did not touch the bottom and I had enough space for all my palm chisels with room for a few extra<\/p>\n\n\n\n
