[wizer]

How about learning joinery on making something small for the workshop Pete. Been on the Sherry tonight?

WTF wants a chisel box to start with? Apart from those who's woodworking skills extend only to the collection and display of those expensive tools they've bought and have no idea how to use anyway.
God! I love a good discussion.

I'm sorely tempted to make some suitable caustic and vitriolic reply to this but I'm tired, had a few drinks (as it's my bithday) and need to go up the wooden hill...can someone help please? [-o< - Rob

Happy Birthday Rob. Ignore Pete, he'll be offering to fight us next. :roll:

Someone who takes thier chisels to college and doesn't like the idea of falling of a bike with chisels in a flimsy tool roll and getting stabbed in the back!!
maybe them possible!
and practise doesn't harm
Also the idea is that the box is the right size to fit into a tool chest i have planned.
And whats wrong with respecting your tools

Nothing wrong with any of that, don't pay any attention to the Plymouth Pratt shame he can't do any better than pour scorn on a newbie who's looking to learn.
Have fun with the project,

what it like making dovetail in ash?

I've cut dovetails is ash, easy.

You will find the a difference in hardness between the growth rings as you pare the end grain.

Try not to let such posts bother you - you'll always find someone who p1sses on the ideas\notions of others - yet doesn't actually offer anything constructive. Bit like a back seat driver - can't actually drive but full of it, nonethelesss.

Thankfully this forum has members - almost without exception- who are the complete opposite.

I would have thought that there are two reasons to make cases (etc) for in the workshop:
1) to keep things where you can find them,
2) to practice on joints etc.

Don't take any notice of Plymouth ..

The chisel box is an excellent idea. I have this set from Rutlands - the box sits very nicely in a drawer next to my bench allowing me easy access and keeping them nice and tidy. If I need to take them out on a job I just lift the box out of the drawer.

It's the best chisel storage solution I've seen.

I wouldn't make it from ash though. Ash is too coarse grained a timber for fine work on small joints. Beech, maple or sycamore would be much better. Walnut or cherry would be a delight to work with but wouldn't cope with much wear and tear during use, being a little soft.

Tomorrow i shall start cutting some pine of the correct sizes as a prototype

I reckon you'll be dead lucky to get 2 x 10mm. out of a single 25mm. section, due to the saw kerf and internal tension relieving when you re-saw it.
