Thanks for the comments,and yes that is a high density foam(used for Kayak repairs)it lets the tool slide in and then closes up around it.I also put plexiglass around the outside to keep from running a tool in your leg when your carrying it.

A well thought out tool box plus so handy to get the right tool from it with out poking yourself. Plus the cow boy shelf sitter any one would be proud to have him sitting in thier home! Both excellent ideas from a great carver! Forrest
