keeping tools out of a box

[Thomp]

recently i bought a ice tray to put my knives and gouges in

naw not a conventional ice tray
look at the dollar store first if there out go to walmarts and for under $2.00 you can get one or 3 of these.

You keeping your knives on ice? lolTalking

better than keepimg them in front of my air condishner where they got skim rust

the polybulate plastic wont dull you can flip it over and remove the bottom and obtain more places too...

Now there's a cool idea. Need to get some of those.

Thanks

it really beats the cost and time of cutting all that pvc and drilling all them stepprd holes in the other racks...

if you need multi level just put a wedged shape wooden bottom in it, but i cant find nothing to beat it for 2 bucks,
although it would be nice if they were clear.....

Ok..I'm really dense here.. and not seeing how this works.

How do the tools sit in this? Blade down and if so.. does the sharp end hit the bottom or does the handle keep the sharp end from contact with the bottom?

Sharp end resting on the plastic I would venture to say. Shouldn't hurt the cutting edge since it is plastic. I take it the tray is a soft plastic. I havbe some edge guards from Rick that appear tp ne the same material and they sure don't harm the edge.

However, if you are afraid that the edge will get dull, A little piece of leather in the bottom should do the trick.

most tools i have wont reach the bottom. you couldnt get your index finger into the holes,
but tools like my dockyard micro gouges and i turn them up to see the ends any way
besides the soft plastic wont dull a good tool
