Until now, I've stored the irons for my wooden plow plane in a roll that gets put in a drawer. The roll wasn't some multiple-compartment, fancy leather gizmo; it was nothing more than an old kitchen towel. The irons deserved better, so I made a box for them.For whatever reason, I often get stuck on design. I looked online and found a few images of plow plane iron boxes. They typically were vertical boxes with a lid that hinged to the side and each iron stands on end in its own slot. While I liked that, I was having a tough time in my head with grain direction of the parts as well as methods of construction. In the end I decided on a flat-ish box with a horizontal compartment for each iron. The box has a sliding lid. It's got 9 compartments; 8 for the set of irons I bought for the plane and an extra for the iron that came with the plane.Two 10" long sides and a 6" long front and backDovetailed and dry fit1/8" grooves were made top and bottom, starting 1/8" from the edgesThen (8) 1/8"…
