How I would do it, get a strip of wood, put in holes/slots, then fasten it someplace handy, maybe the wall, maybe on the inside of a cabinet door. Or, just use a pouch, with separate chisel pockets. My personal favorite is the pouch, then lay them all out where you I quickly change chisels.
Box Inserts/Cradles
Still busy making my first box using box joint corners. I'm replacing a crapppy, cheap wooden box that has housed a set of four Craftstman chisels, which are cradled in an insert with recesses for each chisel handle.

I want to make a replacement insert/cradle and am curious about how you guys have done this. I have some Ethafoam, which if carved out and covered with felt could make a nice insert. What I am interested in is how to carve/cut out the hemispherical recesses. They are all the same size, same as the handles, although the shaft recesses are a little different.
I've got several machines that can spin cutters and sanding discs, but not in the sort of path that these cutouts need to be.
Thanks in advance,
Rick
