Thing a day, Thing #17 Plier Rack

Watchmaker estates have some great deals on specialty hand tools for working with small parts. I recently picked up some 4” pliers with various shaped heads for manipulating small parts off ebay. Today’s thing, thing number 17, is a rack for those pliers to live on top of my assembly bench.

Again, the construction is fairly simple, and following a pattern I used before. Cut boards to length, use a coping saw to cut a matching curve into the top of the boards, partially drill through the boards holes for 3/8in oak dowels, and then glue and press fit together.

So its really easy to make, but insanely useful for keeping the tools stored neatly but still immediately at hand.
