Members KnotHead Posted April 30, 2009 Members Report Posted April 30, 2009 Nothing fancy here... Just went out Sunday, and chainsawed down a broken oak in the yard. Shaped it with the chainsaw, and hand planed it smooth. Three different sized drill bits made the holes. Voyla!..semi instant tool rack. I really like your rack. Best of all of this rack is the incredible oak characteristics. Nice job... Quote Best Regards, Brian Kidd
Contributing Member rdb Posted April 30, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) I really like your rack. Best of all of this rack is the incredible oak characteristics. Nice job... Nobody ever thought I had a nice rack before...rofl! But thanx anyways. Me and my chainsaw have made quite a few necessities. It only took about 10 minutes of hand planing to get it to where you see it. Not sure how long the green wood will last without cracking, but we'll see. Just to keep this thread on track, I know UKRay is looking for a more finely finished and practical piece. Some of the ones above are incredible. Sure hope I see more examples. In my messy world, it sure would be nice to see work stuff crafted as nicely as furniture like some of these....but once a slob...lol Edited April 30, 2009 by rdb Quote Web page Facebook
Contributing Member UKRay Posted February 20, 2011 Author Contributing Member Report Posted February 20, 2011 This is one of my favourite reference threads and I think it is about time it had some new pictures! I'm now on tool rack number... who knows or cares but I still haven't got it right. Has anyone got any new ideas?

BearMan Posted February 20, 2011 Report Posted February 20, 2011 Hi Everybody, Looking back at my earlier post here, I see how fast I've changed my tool rack. I made a new tool rack, a few months ago. This new one was such a pain to make, I hope it's big enough to last me a while. At present, it holds about 225 tools,more than what it shows in the picture, & soon to hold about 10 more comming from Bob Beard. It's actually a pretty nice design, & works out very nice,,, but I'm not going to be making another. It's about 18" x 11". Thanks for looking.

Ed the"BearMan" I'm watching you now, Ed, 'cos i bet you do make another one - or even several more! LOL So tell us how you made this thing. Is that leather sandwiched between MDF or plywood or something similar? What do you do with your mauls? How do you stop them rolling off the bench? What about edge shaves and all the 'handled' tools? What do you do with those? Ray Quote "Some mornings, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps" Ray Hatley www.barefootleather.co.uk
