Tool Rack for Marking Gauges, Braces and Hand Drills and Workshop Knives

This is the 4th and final tool rack on the wall behind my workbench. It feels good to finally have these tools within easy reach. They make me smile whenever I use them and now they can go back in their rightful place on the tool wall.

The top two rows in the top left are my marking/mortise gauges and my Yankee 1530A hand drill (the only hand drill I use).

The bottom left holds my vintage hand braces (12, 10, 8 and 6 inch sweeps). The 12" sweep is a Yankee 2100, the 10" is a Stanley No.923 that belonged to my grandad. I restored it back in about 2012 I think and now I can think of him every time I use it. I still remember when he taught me to use it. As a small boy it seemed massive to me, but he put an auger in the chuck, gently placed his hands on mine and we began to bore a hole. "Look, listen and feel what the brace is doing" he said. Next are my two Skinner 8" and 6" sweeps that I restored. Then we have a wooden Mathieson & Son brace made in Glasgow, Scotland, followed by a wooden brace with brass inlays made by W. Palser Junior. Lastly my Wm. Marples and Sons Ultimatum brace.

Under the braces I made a knife rack to hold all the knives and tape measures I use in my workshop. The rack is lined with tanned leather.

In the bottom right, I placed three rows of predominantly marking tools. In the back row from left to right I have my Millers Falls No.81 hand drill, three palette knives I use for spreading glue on joints, a golf ball Elemental screwdriver, a round awl I use for applying dye to my leathercraft projects, a Lie Nielsen hand countersink and a Woden pushpin No. X170. In the middle row, I have an wonderful old turnscrew that I've filed to exactly fit the screws in heads of my vintage marking/mortise gauges, two round awls and three square awls. In the bottom row, I have my 100mm adjustable Starrett square, my 150mm Bridge City Tools CS-6M square, my 60 x 40mm Kinex engineer's square, my Veritas chip breaker screwdriver, my marking knives comprising of a Kiradashi knife, a Narex 0.75mm marking knife and a scribe and two marking knives from Blue Spruce Toolworks.

Under the knives, I had enough room for a small drawer which holds an assortment of other items which you can see in the photo.
