Wall mounted Plane and Tool Cabinet - Part 16 - Spokeshave rack

Two of my spokeshaves are suitable for hanging using a relatively simple hanging rack.
I made this using some scrap beech. The spokeshaves, a Lie Nielsen Boggs and a Veritas curved sole, were measured and suitable holes bored into each half of the rack. Then the slots were cut on the bandsaw. The LN spokeshave went into place without any more work but the Veritas had to have some carving of the slots done to permit it to go in.

The rack was then mounted on the inside face of the outer door at the top right hand corner

The depth of the slots permits the  shaves to stay in
an upright position.

Wall mounted Plane and Tool Cabinet - Part 15 - Screwdriver rack

I have a terrific collection of wooden handled screwdrivers, Grace USA, Lie Nielson and Joseph Marples that needed mounting in the cabinet.
I opted on putting the Grace screwdrivers on the inside face of the outdoor door. I cut a piece of birch ply to length and glued on a edge band of walnut to cover the unsightly ply edges. This was in turn glued to a right angled cleat so it could be screwed to the face of the door.
Each screwdriver was measured for diameter around the shaft collar. Holes were then laid out and drilled so each square handle butted against the inside face of the door. This would present the label showing the size of each screwdriver to me.

Then slots were cut with the table saw to enable the screwdriver shafts to be withdrawn easily.
The rack was then mounted with screws to the inside of the door.

Wall mounted Plane and Tool Cabinet - Part 14 - Most planes now in place

The inner compartment is just about completed now but there is enough room for future purchases and space is left. As every mounting point is simply screwed into position any future modifications can be made easily.

Wall mounted Plane and Tool Cabinet - Part 13 - Fitting a router plane

I have a little used Stanley router plane from about 1950 in my collection. As far as I can tell it had never, ever, been used before I bought it a couple of years ago. Unfortunately it had been in it's original box since I bought it and I was keen to have it readily available for use.

The shape of the plane necessitated a captive shoe on both edges again with a magnet to hold the plane in place. I simply traced its lower profile onto some walnut and using some double sided tape stuck another piece of walnut underneath. I then cut the profile out on the bandsaw and finished it on the oscillating spindle sander.

After splitting the two pieces I ended up with two symmetrical shoes. I then glued these to some more scraps of sufficient thickness to mount the plane with the blade protruding up to 3/4"

Shoes glued onto some walnut scrap.
