This is far from original, but as I took a picture, I thought some newbies might find the idea useful. This is a good way to keep your joinery saws to hand, and away from the dangers of a cluttered bench top or the like.
I made it from some scraps in a couple evenings. You could get fancy on the joinery, but I just wanted a quick storage place that didn’t hurt my eyes – heirloom was not in the equation:

That's very pretty Sean. I like that you have kept it simple - just backsaws. Neat.

Thanks, Derek. It's definitely simple, but was much needed, as these saws were sort of living in boxes on a shelf in a rather undignified and unkempt state. ;-)
I have another larger till for bigger saws, but's not near the bench and didn't readily accomodate these backsaws that get regular use on joinery and for bench hook kind of work. This small till fit well in the little space I had on the wall near the bench.

I like the idea, and I wish I had the wall space. Too many tools I guess, so I keep all the saws together ...

What joinery did you use on your till?

Floating cylinderical through tenons mostly. ;-) A few screws to attached the t&g back which sits in a rabbet.

Thank God you avoided using dowels. You should be OK with the FCTT's.
Cheers,

"Floating cylinderical through tenons" - I'll have to remember that one. I just realized that we can now start a whole new series of discussions on interlocking trapezoidal through tenons! ;-)
I made a simple one the other day too. I have no roomso this works great.
Nice saws. I'm jealous of those planes in the background!
Mine just needs one slot for my GOOD ONE!
