Chris -

Why didn’t you protect the fragile sawplates in their entirity by using a solid sawtill like the one featured in Richard Hubbs’ Traveling Tool Chest?

Look out for the over-under, or under-over knitting zealots; they are way cattier than the average dovetailian.

So my query when I see these types of tills or other slotted storage solutions for saws is how you made the kerfs, which obviously look thicker than the kerfs left by the saws in question.

I have the kinked Disston from an old toolbox I bought to show just why using a single saw kerf from the saw in question is a bad idea.

Is it just a case of carefully sawing two parallel kerfs, and knocking out the leftover bit? Or is this a job best left to power? I don’t have any real power tools – Is a jigsaw blade kerf apt to be thick enough or should I borrow a circular saw?

thanks.
will it be an upcoming article (and with a list of potentially includable tools, similar to the lists in ATC’s appendix a)?

Chris has a free download of the SketchUp model for the smaller version of his chest on his web site: http://blog.lostartpress.com/2011/11/07/download-plans-for-the-traveling-tool-chest/

I need to build a tool chest to travel with when I take classes offered at different locations (such as WWOTSV, MASW, etc). I don’t want something the size of the chest in your Anarchist’s book though. Will a sketchup model be posted, or will this be an upcoming article in PW, to give us an idea to start from? Will you be traveling to WIA West with it? Thanks.

That’s the Gramercy hammer. A fancy little guy indeed.

Hi Chris, what hammer do you use in the video?
(Posted on the ring pull blog but didn`t get an answer, so I thought I`d try this blog!)
