Made this from a plywood shipping box and crappy construction plywood scrap I’m trying to do away with. It may not look too pretty, but it does a good job.

Nothing can compare to the beauty of those Auriou rasps. That is a good use of scraps!
Be careful when removing chisels from the lower rack they are very close to the cutting edge of the upper chisels, the upper chisels may be sharp and just a slight brush can cut deep. I know someone who almost lost a finger nail with the slightest touch of an upper chisel, it split the nail and that someone bled all over the shop.
You may want to think about making a "floor" for each of the racks.

That's a nice start Allen. My problem is my accumulation of chisels and gouges is about 10 times that.

That's a very nice rack. I was just thinking about making one this past weekend. I may just copy yours!
Thanks Allen!
Re-Use, Recycle, Reduex. Well done. Great re-use of materials.
I over come this by grabbing my chisels by the blade. this works well for me as mine lift up and out to come free of the swinging door mounted holders.

I have cut myself that way on other racks, a shelf might be a good idea.

I KNOW that my racks are over crowded,chisels and gouges too close together,etc.. I just have too many, and not enough wall space to hang everything,and no energy left to re do everything after building 450' of shelving, starting with the rough sawn hard pine. So yours looks pretty neat compared to mine.
