[Woodcarver] Early Fathers Day Gift (chat)

[Merrilee Johnson]

It does help indeed Corey!  Thank you for so much details.  I am getting a little tired of the rolls and shoe box I carry my tools in.  Perhaps its time to get a little more professional :)

Later!

Merrilee, this is the largest box he makes. When loaded down up, you know it's loaded but I can easily carry it just the same and it's proabably close to half the weight of the tackle box with storage boxes that I was using. So it is very carryable... sorry I know that is not a word. The holes are designed so that the tools I have sit in it nicely and seat themselves. At least for Ramelson, Denny, Two Cherry and Flexcut it works great. The tools do not clang together either. They will not fall out and clang if tipped sideways, of course if you are practically turning it upside down it will be a problem. The holes can be enlarged if need be with a sanding sleeve on a drill to fit a specific tool. The only thing that does not fit is my Ron Wells/Mike Shipley knives as the have a larger handle on them. I suppose I could enlarge a couple holes but I would rather not do that. They fit nicely in the drawer as it is. The whole center section could be converted to more palm tool storage. It was noted that Phil and Vicki Bishop are using this tote and also Bob Clarke made the smallest one he makes especially for Dave Stetson. I don't think the pro guys would mess around with it if it didnt suit their needs. So that is my take on it, hope this helps Merrillee.

Corey
