Good thinking, Ian, thanks for those comments and your futuristic vision with razor sharp chisels flying around the workshop.
You would not come within a bulls roar of mine in the untidy workshop competition, so embarrassed every time I open the door of the shed. So glad no such competition exists
The chisels and box are a gift for a tradie son, a plumber who is very good at renovation and cabinet making around home. He certainly knows the difference between' bashers /bangers' and good quality cabinet making chisels, having bought a full set of Lie-Nielsen chisels 15 years ago when he was single and earning good money, and has never used them to my knowledge, still in their original boxes. Won't even show them to me But recently I did get a lend of his Veritas flat and round spokeshaves he bought at the same time, a joy to use. And I have seconded his Tormek Supergrind 2000. he he he
So these Stanleys will be for him doing renovation. I imagine the box will be in a cupboard, and the chisels he wants to use taken out, and hopefully put back.
LanceC, thanks for this comment, but rust is a big problem up here, so they really need an airtight box, not a chisel roll. I keep mine in a leather chisel roll and need to constantly oil them. And I find the sharp chisels cut through the bottom of them too. And good quality leather rolls are very difficult to find and very expensive.regards,

Dengy, if you have access to a 3D printer you could print protectors for your chisel blades to prevent them cutting the tool roll.

Thanks Chris, have never seen or used a 3D printer. But not a bad idea of yours!
What I did read on this Forum was to push some sheep wool down the pockets of the roll, sounded like a good idea. The lanolin helps with the rust too. But I live in a big city and don't know any sheep farmer or shearersregards,

I pushed one of my chisels through an expensive leather chisel roll. It was after that I worked out that it is actually better to have the bevel down to avoid this.

I just remembered that when I bought my set of Lubans, they came in a box which supported them very nicely. It's since been broken up and used as kindling, but may be a source of ideas.
