Rob, I've been using mine for about a year and still love them everytime I pull a saw out or return it. It's so easy to get the saw into it's protected home that they don't end up laying around on the bench.
The only problem is one till is empty, waiting for a small dovetail saw 😁.
Its coming some day
@@RobCosmanWoodworking And I'm sure it will be worth the wait.
I'll be making a couple and attaching them to my tool belt so I can be an outlaw cowboy woodworker! Great work, hope you all are well!
Now thats a pic I want to see
Who is editing these videos?!! Like something from the 90’s 😂
@@TC-yn9nk what??
@@TC-yn9nk why even comment? No one but you is worried about the video editing. Were you even alive in the 90’s? This is far beyond the 90’s pal...
Always enjoy the how to vids on how you set things up. How about running two rods through, 1 for the pivot, and the other as the stop. Coming from the front face up from the bottom, make a notch to rest on the second pin. It would depend on how wide one's tool case is for the location of the notch and stop pin.👍
I started with 8/4 and ripped the top (above the spine/back) off. Then flipped the "new" top upside down on the table saw. Then I could cut the blade clearance tall and saw back lower. Then glued the top back on. This gave the front face no glue up seams.
Perfect timing I have 4 Cosman saws this will be my next project. By the way my only regret with the Cosman saws is I bought them all with the same handle so it sometimes takes a couple of tries to get the one I want
You could try labeling the front of the sleeve. I think a profile of the teeth inlayed in a contrasting wood could be nice. Changing the length/height of the inlay to communicate the fineness of the teeth too.
Lots of options here… I think I found a new project
Thank you Rob! If I can suggest a small trick to draw the shape of the saw handle: take a piece of paper/cardboard, cut with a pair of scissors a rough curve and place it near the handle. Then put the pencil into a washer and follow the curve of the handle!
Add another to the list of have to make projects. Your saw holster is definitely on my build list! I also like the marking gauge attachment on tour main cabinet.
Send us a picture when you make yours so we can post it to our new customer gallery
Thanks for the lesson Rob, I like the way your videos are not rushed, gives us time to have the lesson sink in at each step.👍
Thank you for watching and commenting
As man. I wish I could post a pic. I just finished a pivoting saw till the other day. Jatoba-red oak-black walnut.
Please send you pic to robswebmaster@robcosman.com and luther will add it to our customer gallery
Hi many thanks for the videos I have made 4 for my Cosman saw set. I made them out of oak and I think that is a mistake as soon as I put them in the tills, approx a week later the brass backs have gone a strange colour, I would say wire wool but a week later same thing. Assume oak not a great idea, any guidance on best wood to use that will not interact with brass backs?
Many thanks

A wonderful build. The washers could be countersunk to reduce the space.
Personally, I think I'd have washers on the end pieces as well.
I'd probably prefer having a non-saw holster as the rightmost holster, just to get more room for the 'grabbing' hand.
The front space could be used for dovetail guides, since those are related to the dovetail saws.
Advanced exercise / challenge: The holsters could be moved closer to the cabinet bottom (actually below the bottom), if you hollow out the bottom; this could be combined with rounding the bottom of the holster. The most important thing to do is to make the hollowing rounded in case you choose to try this.
Hi Rob, do you have build videos for the tool cabinet? Or maybe plans?
Very fancy and looks cool. Not sure if I want to go this way or just build a simple saw till.
I forgot to mention your video person I think you said before it was your oldest son but does a great job on the camera and getting up close and staying with you as you’re working so I would say he deserves a raise lol, love your teaching and love your live events, take care and be well 👍
dont tell jake...he will want a raise!!!
I'd be tempted to use a hole saw to punch several holes sideways thru each holster to make the assembly weigh less.
Rob, what kind of bench is that? Sjobergs?
I really like that idea
Try it. Its pretty easy
Washer cut out of a milk jug will work better than metal and are thinner
My dad always said "use the proper tool for the job".
Saves space, saves saw blades, saves knuckles. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay save.
Same to you
quiter yes easier to control no router table has a fence besides i am lazy and do not own beautiful tools
I'm looking forward to that cabinet coming out of prototype and into production, can't wait to buy the plans.
Me too
Great tutorial for my workshop, thx👍
We're do I get quality saws from n hand planes ?? I'm uk how mutch should I be spending for bigginer??? Please answer thank you scott 🎉🎉🎉
Try classic hand-tools in the UK. They carry top of the line stuff. They are online too
Man oh man, your attention to detail never ceases to amaze me. Professor Cos, I salute you sir. Semper Fi.
Ooh-rah
Thanks for doing this demonstration! I've read several requests you do this, and I requested it a couple of weeks ago. Thank you again!
You bet
I have six typed pages of things to build small and large, and you keep making me add to the list. You are killing me as they say.
Buy more paper!
@@RobCosmanWoodworking
Paper is cheap
The lumber is another
10 dollars for a 2x4 stud
Wow Rob! Just wow! There are no words to describe your level of mastery and the clarity of your explanations!
I've been waiting for this video so that I can incorporate these whenever I finally put together my tool chest.
Send us a pic when you build it
@@RobCosmanWoodworking The tool chest is probably a little ways off for the time being. We only recently moved into our new house so right now the workshop is basically a tool storage room. The first project is obviously to make a workbench. On that note, can I use OSB to make the Cosman workbench, or is plywood the only way to go?
i remember suggesting this one a while back before i built mine. i have a new RC saw coming so i was going to redo it anyway. good timing team
Its been on the list for a while
I know what I'm doing this weekend. Thanks Rob!
send us a pic of it so we can add to our customer gallery
Hiya Rob we're would I get a quality hand plane from and gadges please???
More than happy to sell them to you
Just finished mine and I really like them! (made 5) They were fitted to a pull out tray. I thought long and hard about how to pivot them since they were going to be horizontal, then had the idea of just adding stops, front and back to pull the saw out and then inserting them back in. Added a divider on the side to keep them in place. I added a 1/4" plywood strip to the side of each one to give clearance and stability to each holster. Wish I could add my short video clip to this comment to show what I did. THANKS for this video! It was a nice exercise and addition to my workbench!
Great video Rob, thanks for that, very nicely done
Thanks for watching and commenting
Rob, stainless washers are thinner.
Maybe instead of a washer you could just shave down the long sides that rub. Start plane just above the pivot reference surface and run it down a few times. Should reduce the friction enough to never overcome it and pull one with it. I’m tempted to add steep champers to the top and sides to make it even easier to slide the saw in and make it look less like a simple block. Thank you for showing us this!
Been feeling like a cheat for using the "heavy 1/8th" measurement from my construction days, but if a master like this guy does it I have zero shame anymore
Good one Rob. I do, as I can tell you do, immediately look at what I would do differently next time. I would run the router plane for a little more gap where the saw teeth are, and if it was a stationary cabinet, not travel box, I would increase the gap altogether for ease of inserting the saw. Thanks for all you do for the vets, and to pass on your knowledge.
1 1/16th"! Why don't you guys go over to metric and avoid all those fractions? It is so much easier.
I’m interested to know what brand of router plane you are using for the groove. Looks like the Canadian made Veritas but with the upright knobs it resembles the Veritas knockoff produced in the U.S. by Katz-Moses.

@@RobCosmanWoodworkingI really like LN products but because of the exchange rate on the 💵, it becomes expensive to buy them. I am still using the custom handled dovetail saw purchased from you at a Halifax Wood Show , your LN days.🇨🇦👍👨🦳
Outstanding video!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you. Mark. 😎
If you place the saws w the tines away from you, covered or not, you won't get cut.
I dont want to grab and upside down handle
Rob is so knowledgable and has a great willing to share his knowledge and skills with everyone. Their shipping is amazing I placed an order on Friday and It was in my hands in the U.S. on Monday through the mail no less. I was very impressed.
It really works well.
jointer will do that
Excellent! I was planning on redoing mine this weekend! I tried to use your design previously and it didn't pan out. This will help, great content! Thanks.
When possible, chamfer the openings to tool slots. Funneling that tool to slide back into place is so nice.
Do you think rubbing a thin coat of wax on inside of saw holster before assembly would ease insertion to allow gradual even wearing?
Will these not lead to rust on the blades due to the steel being against wood on both sides?
Pull a nail out of a board after a few years, no rust!
If the holster butted up to the back wall of the cabinet maybe add a small magnet to the back wall (or on the bottom on the stop block) and a washer on the back of the scabbard to hold them upright. Also, doesn't the height of the user and the mounting height of the holster in relation to the user affect how far you want the saw to tip out?
Like the tilt out idea Rob. If I can’t use it for saws probably other tools. I’m gearing up to restore an old tool chest and tools👍
I just finished up my tool cabinet a couple of weeks ago, looks like a modification is in order. I love the tilt out idea much better than hanging my saws flat.
That was fun.
Have you see Matt estlea do dovetails with one hand. Key tool was a cosman saw
No i have not. Can you give me the link?
What do you do if the wood swells in humidity? I think I would prefer to have plenty of clearance between the sides of the saw blade and the wood to prevent coming along and finding the blade trapped by swollen wood.... or worse, pitted with rust.
Wouldn't it help to apply a finish of some kind [even if just wax] to the inner surfaces before assembly?
I think, if I were to make these...I might join the two halves with countersunk machine screws and nuts, rather than glue. Could also make cleaning things very simple if some sort of contaminant got down in the slot - let's assume it might be grandkids.
All good thoughts. Give them a try and let me know how they work
Nice! Would you apply a finish inside (before glue) or outside to prevent differential moisture take-up from cupping the flats and grabbing the blade? Cheers and good luck with making Purple Heart go this year!! Farmer John, Ontario Canada
Well I have been using mine, unfinished, for years and no issues. If i applied finish i would only do it on the outside.
May I make a suggestion?
Start with a board that is 1 & 1/8 inches thick, lay it flat on the table saw with the 12" edge against the fence and cut a 1/2 inch strip off (to be glued back on later).
Fit a tall fence to the table saw, set the blade height to about 1", run the board on its edge over the table saw, flip the board end-for-end and run it through again to get a centred slot. Check that the slot is wide enough for the handsaw blade, and if not, move the fence over and repeat until it is. Raise the table saw blade and repeat until the slot is deep enough for the handsaw blade.
Once the slot is wide enough and deep enough for the handsaw blade, drop the table saw blade height to the thickness of the brass back (7/8"), move the fence over and widen the slot to take the brass back. Test the fit and adjust the width as necessary until the saw slides in easily.
Glue the 1/2" strip back on to the edge and plane smooth.
Great idea. Try it and let me know how it goes
Another great idea that's taken years to develop...Thanks.
Perhaps a nylon washer might reduce the space between holders.
You could always thickness sand them to your liking.
Cheers,
N
Yes I was thinking the same
Personally would have them flat on the base to stop things (like pencils) hiding under them. To allow them to still pivot either radius the corner or put and 45 degree or whatever angle which would also give you a forced stop point
personally I just used neodymium magnets to hold the saws almost flat to the wall
Such an elegant solution. I'm still collecting tools, and formulating ideas about storage. But this will be incorporated into whatever I end up designing. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
Enjoyed the bit of work/check interplay - adjusting the blade opening depth after smoothing - and experimentation. Most everything I do is a prototype, but lessons learned transfer to new projects (if I remember them). Thanks for the reality video!
Thanks for watching and commenting
Love that there are wood shavings scraps of wood, cut offs and sawdust all around the shop. If these are requirements for a good shop I’m partially there! On a different note just bought a dovetail saw after using dozuki saw for years.
Thanks. Let me know how you like ir
I’ve liked your saw till concept since I started watching your videos. I had guessed at how they’re made, but it’s better to know precisely. My hand saws are currently residing in a toolbox drawer, not the best for quick/good access, but they are safe at least. I’m planning to build a tool cabinet in the next year, and this will be my solution for saw storage. Thanks for another high quality video, Rob and crew.
Thanks for watching and commenting
Nice work Rob. As a suggestion, I would try just a dowel midway up and positioned and support it with a stand. Keep on smiling.
Give it a try and tell me how it comes out
You read my mind!!!! Every time I see you pull a saw from your till I think ... "I gotta watch the tool cabinet series on the online workshop to see how he built those." Two more RC saws I am saving up to buy and the family will need a good home. So cool!!! Thanks Rob, your videos are the absolute best.
Thanks for watching and commenting
Two questions - do the saws saw through the blocks over time/any reason to consider mounting the blocks with the saws upside down so they ride in/out on their backs? How tight was the clearance for the teeth/If you wanted to make the saw set wider in the future would that be an issue?
I have had zero issue with that
Cool. Been waiting for this. Have a little stash of ribbon stripe sapele for this project. I'll leave space for the small Cosman dovetail saw for when it comes to be. Great saws deserve great wood holsters. Thanks for the demo.
Send us pics when you get it made and we will post in our new customer gallery
Ever since seeing you show those off I’ve been curious to see how you did it. Pretty simple once you see how but the devil is in the details. That is the best way of storing back saws I’ve ever seen and definitely one of the cleverest. Thank you for sharing that. Just one more example of the excellent person you are. Kudos to Jake too for the great camera work for what must have been difficult to film without being in the way. You guys do an outstanding job and make a great team.
Thank you! and thnaks for watching and commenting
You could also put a magnet on the back of each holster and matching screw in the case to prevent the saws from coming forward when you choose a different saw.
Another good idea, thanks
Thanks Rob, I am in the middle of redesigning my small garage shop and this video was extremely helpful in setting up my saw till storage! Very useful!
Send us s pic when you make yours and we will add it to our new customer gallery section of our webpage
I have been waiting for this video so now I will be able to protect my dovetail saw properly. Thanks Rob.
You asked for it you got it ....saw holster
Really nice job Rob, I wonder if a slite recess on the top side of the blade section before glue up would help register the saw when putting it back in each time?
Try it and tell me how it comes out
Great storage idea. Can't wait until I save enough for your dovetail saw! 😁 that one will certainly have a special place in the cabinet.
I think you will really love our saws
Loved your design and idea!!! One of my to do list ( for the summer) is to organise my hand tools in one place and you gave great idea how to organise my tools in a small place. Thanks 😊
Once you make you tool storage send us a pic and we will add it to our new customer gallery on our website
Though I left some space. That way I can add another for when I buy one of your saws.
Good deal
Lovely work as always Rob. Have you put an auxiliary base on your router plane?
Haha. I asked that just before you comment on needing a wider base! 😂
24:11 : or perhaps a strip of felt, a third of the way from the bottom - needs to be in contact with both holsters at all times
Thats a good idea
Well I definitely need a way to protect my saws, been hoping for this video. But I don’t have a table saw or a router plane. So I could try a chisel or some sort of guide with a palm router. I’ll have a think. Will practice with softwood first. Is that the LN large router plane? Probably hard to get at the moment.
Search TH-cam for how to make your own router plane. I made one and loved it so much that I bought a "proper" one on eBay.
They are beautiful aren’t they and look so satisfying to use!
Thanks Rob, Luther promised this a while ago and was glad to see it posted and to watch it !

Brilliant. What a bonus for small workshops - like mine!
Glad you like it!
I admire your attention to detail and enjoy your videos thank you and god bless
Thank you for watching
Cool. Thanks; always wondered how you had made those. :-)
Glad you like them!
I have been waiting for this video for a while now. as always, fantastic.
Thanks for waiting and watching
Awesome~! I've been waiting for this video. I saw it in the online workshop video, but this one gives me the extra that I was wanting. This just moved to the top of my project list~! Thanks so much, Rob~!
Send me a pic when you make it
@@RobCosmanWoodworking Yes sir, will do~! :-)
Gotta watch this when I get home from work but had a thought, how about a Cosmanized Dutch tool chest, so the civilians have a way to transport their tools to the PHP school?
Good idea
@@RobCosmanWoodworking we have a saying in the lower 48, even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while! Lol
Very nice. Why not put a radius on the corner around the pivot point to provide clearance. That way the holster could sit flat on the cabinet base.
You can if you dont want to use the corner as a stop. Try it
@@RobCosmanWoodworking That's what I did on mine and it worked out nicely.
Do you
Du you have a video on sharpening a router plane iron?
Yes, its called sharpening odd shaped irons or something like that
Great video.
What do you feel about using a rabbet plane instead of a router plane for this Rask?
I prefer the router plane since its designed to make a level plane parrallel to a surface. Rabbet planes are not designed to do that
@@RobCosmanWoodworking reference surface is the key. Got it. Thanks, Mr Cosman.
Thanks for all your videos!
