All language subtitles for Wall Mounted Chisel Rack

Hey Everybody, I’m Tommy.

Today I’m going to show you how I made this
wall-mounted chisel rack that keeps your hands

safe from being cut on your sharp chisel tips.

Whether it’s your first time here, or even
if you’ve been here before, welcome to One Minute Workbench.

So when I originally set out to make this
chisel holder, I was going to make it similar

to say, this holder, where the items just hang straight down.

But then I started thinking about the fact
that the tips of my chisels are razor-sharp, and figured

I’d better build in a little bit of a safety
feature.

For this project, I just used some 1/2”
plywood scraps that seemed to be about the

right size.

My set of chisels has two different sizes
of sockets and ferrules, so I used my calipers

to measure those diameters for both the smaller
and the larger size.

I clamped the two pieces of plywood together,
and used the chisels themselves to help me

determine the centerline for each of the two
sizes.

I traced the smaller and larger size at the
end of the smaller strip of plywood

that will actually support the chisels.

With those marks, I just eye-balled the center
of each, and then drew lines to indicate those

centers.

I also marked the back of the piece so I would
know where I was measuring from.

I used my marking gauge to scribe a line for
both of those centerlines.

I set a couple of chisels down and spaced
them an appropriate distance apart, and then

measured that distance and locked the measurement
on my caliper.

To get started, I traced one of the larger
chisels, and just eye-balled it’s center.

From there, I used the measurement locked
in my caliper to create marks for the spaces

between the three larger chisels.

I used a Forstner bit, to drill a hole that
was just larger than the ferrules, about halfway

through the material.

I then came back and used a bit that was just
larger than the sockets to drill the rest

of the way through.

Once again, I used a chisel to trace lines.

These marks help me know how wide of a slot
I need to cut.

I made these cuts with a band saw, but if
you don’t have a band saw, you could also

do these with a coping saw.

I did a loose test to make sure everything
was on track.

Everything looked good, so I moved on to the
smaller set of chisels.

I measured the distance between them….

used my calipers to recreate marks at that
distance…

picked Forstner bits that were just larger
than the ferrules and the sockets….

drilled the two different sizes…

and then cut the slots.

Everything was looking good, so glued the
components together.

After it had some time to dry, I used the
longest of the chisels to help me determine

the size needed for the small strip of wood
at the bottom that will prevent contact between

the tips of the chisels and my hands.

I then glued that in place, and gave it some
time to dry.

Now the real trick in getting these chisels
to lay flat against the back of the mount

comes from shaping the back wall of the mount
to allow room for the sockets.

For this, I used a round file to file down
the area just below each of the holding slots.

With the shapes filed, the chisels now rest
nicely up against the back of the mount.

Everything was looking good, so I mounted
it to the wall.

With this mount, I can easily see each of
my chisels.

This lets me know exactly which size I’m
retrieving, yet I don’t have to worry about

being injured by the razor-sharp blades.
