How I solved the plane storage problem.

Simply rearranged things in my clamshell cabinets. Have I mentioned how roomy these things are? Oh and used some good ol 3M Super 77 spray adhesive to hold the felt down. Now my planes, and most importantly, the blade edges live on a nice cushy bed of heavy felt...

Gluing up and smoothing the felt on the movable shelves.


The planes all nestled up nicely where they belong. You can see the bottom felt isn't as smooth as the others. I left that one to float. I figure if I had trouble ungluing from the shelves no biggie, new ones are two cuts, but the main section is a problem...

Nice idea - I could get some felt too.

Thanks for the post!

Sorry about the pool table.


Looks good, that was just the first thing that came to mind.

Good idea DB, another added benefit is that the felt will absorb some of the (insert lube or wax you use) and aid in preventing rust on the sole. Good job!
