,Eddy if you use them for chisels, do you think this would effect the sharpening process. Just a thought 😉

I use rare earth magnets to hold my planes and chisels upright in my tool cabinet. They do not affect the sharpening process in the slightest. I inset them ever so slightly so they do not contact the metal but they still have sufficient pull.
wow Richard that is one fine looking set of tools in a stunning cabinet thanks for showing i’m very jealous

Thanks Eddy, I don’t have many tools but they are all top quality! Having only a few also makes it easier to look after them well.
As I said, the magnets work just fine for holding them all in place. Go for it!
i will do Richard thanks for the tips

Man that’s a nice tool cabinet. I especially like the way the saws sit.
That’s a stunning tool cabinet and proof that sometimes less is indeed more.
I’ve got a load of R.E. magnets left over from an old project. I’ll have to remember this method when I come to build my cabinet.
Keep Calm and have a Cup of Tea
