Ultimate Hand Plane Storage

**Brendon** · Sep 18, 2015, 03:51 PM

Here is one for the storage and organisation category as this is where I store my hand planes. Just off my main workshop area is a kind of ante-room which I have turned into a store/display/museum area. It is my favorite space. I keep some antique hand planes here, some from other makers and the planes that I have made myself. It is a dust and damp free zone (I even have tubular heaters to keep the air dry in winter, behind each glass cabinet). When I am finished using a particular hand plane I dust it down and give it a rub of a soft cloth before restoring it to the cabinets. No hand plane spends even one overnight out of the cabinets.
Oh! yes. I love my hand planes.
You can see the individual hand planes in my collection by visiting my blog.

The area is also a working area as I use the bench pictured for cutting dovetails at and doing other hand work.
I always sweep up immediately after a work session.
It is very pleasant to work here surrounded by my beloved hand planes. A little piece of Heaven.

A great display of planes! it's interesting that you picked hand planes above all the other tools to display. I see old planes for sale all the time and haven't payed to much attention to them. which ones are your favorites and what makes a certain plane stand apart from the others?

Brendon,

I have looked for the link to your blog but can't find it. Please provide the link so we can all enjoy seeing your tool creations.

Thank you,

Paul
