[Woodcarver] Carving tools above bench

Instead of putting my long-handled tools on my bench, I put them above it. I
fashioned a wooden rectangle out of 2' by 2" contractors boards. It is about
a foot high and 2 feet wide. I screwed a 20 inch magnetic tool holder to the
top bar and clamped the whole thing to the back edge of the bench. Then I
just place the tools I am using on to the magnetic strip, handle side down.
Since it is clamped on, it is portable and can be removed if I am just using
palm tools. It works best with flat bladed gouges like the long-bladed
Flexcuts, not as well with the more rounded gouges.
