Here's a small (7" x 15") tool tote I made the other day.

Nice looking tote there. I'd say that only special tools get to very gently go in it. I like the way it finished.

RKH2:
Actually, I have a 12v Milwaukee drill and driver and their accessories that I use all the time. The tote is their home. The finish is (2) coats of tung oil.

Thanks for posting that web site. I just bought my first badger hair brush from Amazon and this would have been much better. I bookmarked it for future use.

All these years I've used a boars hair brush. I'm really looking forward to this.

Its nice to see some people still use the badger brushes. The question is, do you use a safety razor too or straight razor? I think I have to be in the minority of 20 somethings that shave with a safety razor vs the disposable cheapies.

I use a Merkur double edge safety razor and Wilkinson (sp?) blades. No straight razor for me, I shake too much. The DE razor gives a much better shave for a fraction of the cost of the disposable units. It's very cool to have made your own brush!

I'm not sure how this thread ended up here but I was compelled to add to it....
I've never been brave enough to catch a badger, but I have rounded up a few Whistle Pigs to apply my Foamy Gillette. Little buggers are hard to hold still...but work like a charm and run like hell when you put em back down. I don't have the steadiest hands either, but nevertheless I use the "big" blade on my Leatherman as I've found the woodsaw blade gives an ununiform look to me otherwise baby-type face.

....I couldn't help it, forgive me

I use a Merkur hd with Feather blades. I believe that I an also in the minority of 40 somethings by using it

That was funny. Just like Crocodile Dundee right?

I also use a merkur with feather blades, and some bigelow cream with a badger brush. I now want to make a brush myself. It just looks like too much fun not too. Might have to be my next project.

Super Nice looking tote!!!:D Thanks for showing us!

Don't think I could ever use that beautiful piece to carry tools. I'd cry when it got scratched. Mrs. charlese would probably grab it to tote yarn or spools of thread.

The tote is beautiful, although I wouldn't make one. If I did make one it would sit there and look nice. I would kick myself if I scratched it with tools. Oh well, thats just me and having pride in finished projects.
