[Woodcarver] Early Fathers Day Gift (chat)

Marrilee:

 

How about a cigar box?  That's how Harold Enlow does it.  If it would make
me carve half as good as he does, I'd carry my tools in two cigar boxes.

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

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
