Chisel Rack and Chamfers

[Frederick Skelly]

Malcolm, your idea caught my attention, as an alternate approach. (I used the large LV countersink last time.) Did the unibit give you smooth sided holes or "stepped" holes? Any chance you could post a picture sometime?

Thanks,
Fred

Fred, the holes are stepped, but they are quick to make and overall give an acceptable taper.

Finished 'cabinet-on-cabinet' (I am running out of wall space, so scabbed them onto the front of my storage cabinets)...

I wanted them enclosed to minimize air and moisture exposure. Each shelf is on a sliding dovetail and held with a single screw from the side. All I have to do is pull the screw and make a new shelf if my chisel inventory changes.

Thanks very much! I think I'll try one of those next time.
I like the cabinets!

That's a seriously nice cabinet setup, Malcolm!! Hmmmm....

Simplest way I found was to use a Unibit. They're available in a couple of taper angles and maximum diameters, but over all they work great - - and quick.

That's what I did, too. The Unibit clones at Harbor Freight are entirely adequate for wood working, and inexpensive as well.
