Another Tip- where do you store your planes

Darn you Mr. Merlau, you made me do it!!
I keep my frequent flyers [we are talking about planes, aren't we?] right under my bench top. Shooting boards are on that slim shelf above the planes. Notice evidence of recent use on the floor.

I keep more in the top drawer of the bench.

I keep less used ones on the wall.

And a few more on the pegboard.

I'm Ken, and I'm a planeaholic.
 
Ok I am still in one piece. I have a lonnng way to go before i get to your stage Ken or Dominic or Jim. I am feeling kinda safe right now.:D

I mentioned to LOML last night that I need a shoulder plane and she said is that what you want for Xmas. I said Xmas???? Thats a long way off.

Now i can say, see what the other "kids" in the playground have. You would not want me to be without would you??:(

Dominic I really like your cabinet.

I can see i have a long road to walk on this one. I cannot see why i would want so many fore planes and jointer planes:dunno: I mean one yes, collector yes, but as users Jim how about a small post to enlighten us. I have read Patrick etc. But they he dont say you need 2 of this and 3 of that. Trying to be serious here do you have them set up differently??:dunno:



Ooops and by the way i store mine in a draw, all 4 of them.
 
Yes, Rob, different planes with different set-ups. One 4 for rougher work, another with a back bevel for gnarly wood, a 5 1/4 for narrow [<3/4"] edges....it goes on and on. But really it's for fun and pleasure, not pure utility.

Don't gimme too much razzlin' for this... it IS TEMPORARY, after all - it'll be squared away a lot better when the rest of the shop gets straightened up.

Well, I could not resist, after I got all of my completed planes all nice and sharp, I just had to move them out of their dark cubby hole onto a new shelf..........

....... a little more pride of place in the old Dungeon :D

Besides, they are now easier to get at :rolleyes: ;) :wave:
