Chisel Rack with Cleats and Finger Protection

Instructions

I hate the protective plastic caps that come delivered at the end of these chisels so I discarded them right away (to be honest I lost two first and THEN discarded all others ;-) ) and designed this holder with my fingertips in mind. I keep my chisels razorsharp at all times and they easily push through endgrain with little to no effort. Of course they do the same with our soft wiggly outer hull (skin). And as I wanted to regularly take it off the wall to place it next to my workpiece or to work outside on nice days it can also stand on its own. Hence the depth of the rack, to prevent it from tipping over. It stands very firm and nicely this way. The engraved numbers make it easy to select the right size. The stated numbers are metric, yet I included all Affinity Files so you can adapt, change, and remix how you like. If you have any contributions or improvements, share them with me and I can include them in this project. Or create your own project for the community to benefit from. Notes before cutting: 1. I cut this the day after I received my Shaper Workstation, so I went with the "fancy" mortise & tenon joinery to test the workflow on it. Screws will do just fine. 2. Measure the spacing between your cleat profiles on the wall and adjust the file if neccessary, you want the lower support to touch the wall, not the cleat profile. 3. I added a 45° bevel cut at the top of the board with the numbers to make it easier to take out the chisels.
