Wall-Mounted Chisel Rack
Good tools deserve a good home. This chisel rack provides convenient storage and adds a touch of class to your shop wall.
If you store your chisels in a drawer or a wire rack on pegboard chances are the edges get dinged up from banging into each other. In an afternoon you can build a nice, hardwood rack for them. A simple hardwood frame and panel serves as a foundation for the chisel holder. Then you add a pair of corbels, and a narrow, beveled base trim. I chose oak for the rack, but you can use any hardwood you have lying around in the shop. While this wall-mounted rack holds five chisels, it’s pretty easy to expand the width to hold as many as you need. All you do is lay out the spacing on the chisel holder and adjust the width of the frame to accommodate the new size. All in all, it’s sure to be a great addition to your shop, and taking care of your fine tools is always time well spent.

Similar Woodsmith Plans
Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.
Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.
Premium Plans
All of the information that you need to build our plans can be found in the standard plan. However, if you want even more granular detail to make your job easier, you should consider our premium plans. These come with additional shop diagrams that we drew when creating the prototypes. Shop drawings are not available for every plan.
