Dremel box and chisel case

12th Nov 2020: Article by Steve Hares

I have recently become more involved with using the lathe (in case you hadn’t noticed) and want to get my own. I bought some chisels prior to ordering a lathe but they didn’t come in a case. So you just have to make your own, don’t you?
Small jewellery hasps and hinges used to hold it all together (I have spare if anybody else needs any). The outside finish isn’t that brilliant but will be good enough to store the chisels in. Two coats of vanish inside and out and foam inserts to stop them moving around inside.

People may have seen me building a Dremel Storage box at the club recently, for bits that I have been given. It’s now finished and all the parts have their own place in each compartment. They stack on top of each other and are held together with 4 Hasp Latches. Again, two coats of vanish inside and out.
