First, go buy a large Pelican rifle case. Then lay out your axes inside the case, on top of the foam. Take a Sharpie marker and draw an outline of the axes onto the foam. Remove the foam and cut out the shape with a sharp thin knife.
next, get some VCI (vapor corrosion inhibitors) packs from your gun store or elsewhere. I put two or three inside the case, again cutting out holes in the foam for them. I also cut a small slot for a axe file or stone, and a small section for a rag and bottle of INHIBITOR VCI oil.
finally, after every use of your axes, wipe down the axe heads with the VCI oil (leave a film of oil on them) and tuck them into their respective slots.
This is a great way to store, transport and care for your axes. I use mine (ILTIS Ox-head single bit, Hardy (from the 50's) double bit, ESTWING leather handled hatchet, and a STUBIA pickaroon (for grabing firewood chunks) for felling trees and splitting firewood/kindling. I can throw the case into the truck and know that the axes are secure, stored properly from the elements and easy to transport to the customers jobsite.
pics soon.
