New Traveling Tool Box #2

My first efforts for the new tool box addressed the empty canvas of the lid verso.  As with the retrofitting of the large vintage tool chest for my 18thC tool demos (more about that much later) I decided the underside of the lid would be a good place for the saws that did not neatly fit elsewhere in the toolbox.  So, I made some fittings and hung the saws there.

The first step in this was to trim the tip of the lovely little panel saw that was oversized by about a half inch.  By rounding the top corner of the saw tip it fit the space diagonally just right.

The size and configuration of the exquisite Knew Concepts saw frame made it a problematic fit in the inner space, so it wound up being hung here as well.  It was overlaid on the panel saw and my re-fashioned Tyzak dovetail saw was inserted in-between.  The void in the center of the coping saw was just right for the DelVe square to hang right there.
