I just recently started a small working plane collection and I just don’t have any wall space to hang anything. I currently have an extra drawer in my router table that they could fit in, but I’ve made arrangements to buy a #7 which throws that idea out the window because of the length.
I then thought of building something under my power plane, but its only 20” long and I’m not sure if it can handle the extra weight. I really like the small size of the current stand as is and don’t want to build a larger one at this time.
The 22” No7 is my biggest challenge and about my only alternative is to build a case that can stand on end in a corner or something. Maybe a 12”x12”x24” box hinged in the center to swing open while standing on end. Hopefully I’ll be able to pick it up and set it on the bench when I want to use it. I don’t know what the final weight will be.
So beside shelves and wall cabinets, what other plane storage options are there? Right now I have them all in a plastic container and I don't have the #7 yet.
