There are many ways to store your tools. The right choice depends on the type of tools you are using, larger tools are usually hung on walls while smaller tools can be stored in a tool roll. Power carving tools are a separate category and are usually stored in a plastic case that they are purchased in.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, many carvers \u2013 particularly beginner carvers \u2013 are unsure as to how to best store their carving tools. If you\u2019ve been wondering about the options you have available to you, this article will help provide some insight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where Can You Store Your Wood Carving Tools?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re wondering where you can store your wood carving tools, there are several options available to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most common ways is to use a tool roll. This is particularly useful if you mainly use hand-carving tools. A tool roll is essentially a piece of flexible material that has pockets in which you can store your tools. Once the tools are in the right spots, you can roll up the material into a compact tube. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is an especially convenient option for people who do not have much storage space in their home or work area. It is also good for people looking for an easy way to transport their tools without taking up too much baggage space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, a tool roll is only one option available to woodworkers. Other options include tool bags, toolboxes, and a set of drawers. These can especially come in handy if you have an extensive collection of carving tools that would not fit into a single tool roll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many carvers also try their hand at creating their own customized storage space for their carving tools. This can take the form of a set of drawers with enough space for not only your hand-carving tools but your power tools as well. Other options include building a hanging cabinet or another type of wall tool holder, a workshop pegboard, and tool racks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, many woodcarvers also choose to store their tools in the cases they come with. This is especially popular if you use power tools for carving \u2013 many power tools come with a case in which to store them. Once safely put away, you can store the case in cabinets or drawers that you may also be using to store your hand-carving tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
