You've got several sets of bench chisels, some carving chisels
and the like. If they don't have a home yet then a nice
mini-project could be making a chisel rack or two. Want to
use some of your scraps? Want to try handcut dovetails
or finger/box joints? Make some racks!

ADHD? Attention Defecit ? ? Wasn't that formerly referred to as
Senior Moments?

You might want to rethink one long wall rack and consider
a wall hanging tool cabinet or two, with deep doors. You double
the use of the wall space each cabinet occupies. And if you
fill it with modules made to hold specific tools you can do them
as mini-projects, many out of scraps. Blow a module and you're
just out some scrap - nothing else is affected. In addition to
trying different joinery you can also try different finishes -
double bonus.

Most of my illustrations are done with an old Aldus package called
SuperPaint 3.5, last released in '93. Adobe bought out Aldus
and scrapped SuperPaint because it competed with their Illustrator
and at 1/3rd the price. It's not a CAD package but it's a lot
easier to learn and does most of what I want to do. Have
Design Inuition for Mac OS X but haven't got to using it much.
If you're a "see it and get it" person, have a look at these
dovetail instructions. Might just get you to try it.

Those are really nifty racks and you have provided some perspective I needed.
I have a very limited creative imagination because I have ADHD upstairs, so
this does help. Once it's seen, it's there. I am going to make one long wall
hanging rack for all sorts of handle tools including small handsaws, chisels
and screwdrivers. It will have to be something of a multi-design in one structure.
Question, what are all the softwares you use to make your graphics?

Attention Defecit Hyperactivity Disorder = serious mental television snow
and the noise to go along with it. You might mean dimentia, not the same thing.
This is another kind of "brainial" (made that up) chemical imbalance.

Yeah I mean it would be about gour feet long. Made with different kindsa
holders. I have the perfect scrap maple from ripping my benchtop boards.
I have a wall hanging shelf for handplanes.

Thanks I was curious because I "was" into graphics, like photoshop, PSP,
and need an easy CAD software currently.

Thanks I saw it, really cool page with a ton of material, as is your whole
website. It is a far better offering than Frank Klauzs' site, which is pure
business. Sites like yours really help folks like me, definitely!
