Thread: One chisel with one box

That's a very nice handle.

I had one of those double decker pencil boxes that swung out when I was a kid (ah, so long ago) so if you do one, please post so I can steal get inspiration from your work.

What a simply but elegant design for a box for a chisel. Thats a great restoration job. Bet he was pleased with that?

You also did that stanley plane in another post if i remember correctly. Top not restoration/enhancement efforts

That is a terrific "storage" method and an ideal gift box. It would be very suitable for single knife projects too.

Without wanting to upstage you in any way, it brings back memories of my childhood when I had a triple decker pencil box . The top two sections operated like yours except the very top had a sliding lid and the bottom section was another sliding section that extended lengthways. I am sure you could develop this concept.

As I don't have the aforementioned box, I went looking for something similar and this probably is close. (Google "timber pencil boxes" for inspiration)

Your use of this style of box gives me a few ideas too (for down the track).

Woodworking masterclass (Steve Hay) has a series on youtube just on variations on this type.

I think the version 6 in the playlist might be of interest

Yes, that is the type of box I want to make. I always thought they only be done in two layers. Triple layer sounds better. I will do that.

Sure, but the twist I am about to put on is based on a rookie mistake I made last year. So not sure if you want to "steal" my mistakes, but be my guest

Thanks for that. Explains a lot how they do that. I can certainly use some of it.

Not sure when I will get to that. Soo many projects and soo little time......
