   Posted by: woodbeecarver    in BEE Buzz

CLARKE TOOL TOTEThis is a Small Tool Tote made by Bob Clarke of Fernley, NV.  http://www.woodcarverstooltote.com/ This tool tote is designed with sixteen pre-cut slots for hanging tools on either side of a central box that contains a firm foam block to stick knife points into with open space for carving glove or other necessities.  There is also a handy drawer for pencils, ruler, band-aids and other small tools.

The first two photographs above shows the Clarke Small Tool Tote filled with fifty nine palm carving tools.  The central box area has received a plastic Ice Tube Tray like the one in the third photograph which is holding knives.

The Ice Tube Tray can be purchased at Wal Mart for under four dollars.  It contains twenty seven tubes which will hold palm carving tools and knives with larger handles.  The Ice Tube Tray is the correct size to fit in the center section the the Clarke Small Tool Tote.

For the smaller Stetson designed Clarke Tool Tote, an Ice Tube Tray can be cut to fit the center section to hold eighteen palm carving tools.  Additional sections of the Ice Tube Tray can be cut to hang on either side the the handle support using plastic ties as pictured in the photograph below.

Bob also makes a Large Tool Tote plus paint storage boxes.  In the January 6, 2008 post about Carving Tool Storage I highlighted a tool tote Bob made called the Dave Stetson box.  His tool totes are well made with such a functional design and reasonably priced that I highly recommend them.
