Simple storage rack for handplanes

摘要

For years, I stored my planes on their sides in a drawer, but I couldn't fit my 22-in.-long Stanley jointer plane in there. So I came up with this idea to hang all of them on a rack. The rack is basically a 24-in.-square piece of 3/4-in.-thick birch plywood with a cleat at the bottom and a 24-in. magnetic tool holder located above the cleat.rnThe maple cleat supports the longer, heavier planes at their toes. I positioned the magnet 9 in. from the bottom so that no plane blade would hit it, including the big jointer plane. I place block planes and spokeshaves, tail up, directly on the magnet.
