Yep, less than ayear old and getting "outdated".... Well, seems I have a few chisels needing a decent home, without bumping into each other. Took out the old tray. WAS going to just flip it onto it's side and cut slotted holes for the chisels to reside in......but, the pine was just snapping off at the holes as soon as I cut a slot...Bummer! Got to thinking, the bottom of this tray is oak. So, drilled a few holes through the 1/2" thick oak, with a dull, smoke the lumber, Forstner bit. Then an old B&D sabre saw to cut slots on either side of the holes. Some were a bit wide. While working on this thing, had it upside down in the vise so I could test fit the chisels as I went along. Once everything was "fitted" , I could empty the rack, flip it over and install IN the Tool Chest #1. I may have to add a few screws to hold it back there. You can see where the pine just snapped out. Now, as for the floor of this older chest. Since the iron bodied ones have their own till now, the woodies went and took over the bottom of this chestalong with a few saws still in their till. There is a Jointah plane, a Jack plane, a Coffin smoother plane, and a HUGE try plane. Saws are just some panel saws, and a backsaw. Had a tote tray to place over all these goodies, too awaiting a few other toys to go into here. There is STILL a 4" wide open space to the front, might have to work on that next... Stay tuned.....
