Transportation for hand tools

As I mentioned in my post titled “Woodworking Class – Building a chest“, I’m going to a woodworking class for a week down in Portland, OR.  The classes haven’t required us to take all our tools but they do recommend some so my question is how do I carry chisels, handplanes, and handsaws?

I’ve found this chisel roll that looks like the best way for chisels.  I found it at Woodcraft.

I haven’t found anything to carry handplanes or handsaws yet.  All my handplanes are non-wood so they are heavy and I don’t want them clanking around in a tool back.  If anyone has any ideas before Sunday, when I leave – I’d love to hear it.

I found a tool bag which might work also at Woodcraft.

If there are any better suggestions, let me know.

UPDATE: In a duh moment, I found a way to carry hand planes.  I found on Veritas’ site, plane bags.  On Lie-Nielsen’s site, I found plane socks.  Guess what, they looked the same and from that, I determined extra large tube socks from target work too.
