Not much carving over the last day or two, but I did have a chance this afternoon to make a holder for my carving bit collection. The bits have either 3/32" or 1/8" shanks, so I drilled holes with these dimensions about 5/8" deep in a 12" by 3.5" pine board I had in my scrap collection. I drilled three rows of holes, spaced 0.5" apart, using my benchtop drill press, with the holes split in size between the two shank sizes. I was able to place nearly all of my most often used bits in this new holder. I will keep some spares on the rotating holder that I have been using.
Not a carving accomplishment, but just something that will make my work a little easier by securely holding my bit collection.
