Woodsmith Magazine Roll-Top Chisel Case Plans

Step-by-step instructions, exploded views, materials list, and more—these plans have everything you need to build your own Roll-Top Chisel Case.

When it comes to woodworking most woodworkers put themselves in a category of either using hand or power tools. But no matter what type of woodworker you consider yourself a good set of bench chisels is a necessity in any shop. Often though chisels tend to get buried on a cluttered bench. Or worse yet roll off the bench and onto the floor. Keeping your chisels safe and clean is where this chisel case shines. The most distinguishing feature of this case is the tambour door. When closed the door keeps dust and chips out and protects your chisels. The door slides in a track to reveal the storage area for the chisels. While the tambour door looks challenging to make breaking it down into a few simple steps makes it much more approachable. The chisels rest in a pair of cradles that hold the butt of the handle and the blades. While we designed these cradles to hold four sizes of chisels this configuration is easily customized for your brand and size of chisels.

You can purchase the Woodsmith Roll-Top Chisel Case standard plan or the supplemental premium shop drawings as a downloadable PDF or in a printed format that we ship to you. We highly recommend purchasing both the standard plan and the supplemental premium shop drawings for more in-depth instructions and greater detail.
