Mine do but I always clean, retract the blade and oil the iron before putting them away.Lots of these ideas seem use a flat base so it looks like the plane sits on its iron, is that normal? Like Doug B I have the end on a batten to lift the iron off the surface.
A bit of a contentious issue, most of us have been taught to lay a plane of its side but Paul Sellers and others state that this achieves nothing as steel is harder than wood. I'm unsure, I see Mr Sellers' logic, but could a finely honed blade be damaged by laying it on a hardwood bench or even on a storage rack/drawer?Lots of these ideas seem use a flat base so it looks like the plane sits on its iron, is that normal?

Nice, i like the hanging loop idea. Quite unique.View attachment 136719
This has got to be the one - it's a hanger
I had to look up rammel - a new one to me. The Urban Dictionary definition is interesting.I leave mine all over the place. Sometimes in a cupboard with a lot of other rammel.
Have you a picture of the glass cabinet they're in?Here is my cabinet, not yet fully arranged but already functional:

Found this idea somewhere in internet.
Hand planes are resting on panel that is 15 degree to the wall - it is actually enough already for them to not tip and fall down.
But there are some planks that hold the top of them just in case.
There is a shelf behind them and planes can be tilted up to access it, but it is nearly impossible to do that with all the planes in place.
Top shelf can be lowered down for easy access:

I plan to mount hoders for spokeshaves and combination, small plow and rabbet planes there.
Apparently, it can hold 10 kg with ease, and I can still lift it up or pull it down.
Found similar shelves in kitchen cabinets catalogs somewhere.
Thought I'd better check. Not quite the same - in Derbyshire "rammel" means odds and ends, bits and bobs, but not necessarily useless.I had to look up rammel - a new one to me. The Urban Dictionary definition is interesting.
