Whatcha got for punch and chisel storage?

You guys are ALL a really bad influence. Other than the pin drifts I showed earlier, this is my drawer. No I didn't tidy up. That's the way it always looks unless one is in use someplace.

Judging from your photos, it's quite obvious to me that I don't have enough chisels and punches.

I do have 20 or so different sizes of sledges and hammers though. I just need more things to pound on with them.

And no @Dan Dubeau - a hammer is not my only tool.... o_O
 
I have a dedicated drawer in the main tool box that houses punches and chisels as well as a couple brass drifts and scrapers. The Starrett pin punches and center punches live in a smaller tool box at the small lathe. I also have a few "road" boxes that travel in the dump truck and pickup that each have a small assortment of punches and chisels.
@Susquatch ..... You might be able to find your way around my shop..... Looks like we chose the same drawer for storage, although mine are a little more tossed in and jiggled until the drawer closes...
