Well, I arrived in country without incident - although the box of tools was the only thing that the TSA guys inspected! Come on, guys - only one of those four chisels has been sharpened…

Now we’re in a friend’s place for six weeks, a crowded apartment no less, so there won’t be any wood being worked anytime soon. My first priority is to get/build a box to store all my tools in (along with a box of silica gel) to keep the rust at bay! I want to build a box, obviously, but I may settle for a cheap plastic tub for the time being.

We’re flying out to S.E. Asia in just a few days now.

I’ve got all my tools wrapped in bubble wrap and placed carefully in a diaper box. The box was then placed inside a large backpack and surrounded with other miscellaneous stuff like sandals, books, etc.

Here’s hoping that customs doesn’t get too enthusiastic or inquisitive when inspecting our luggage!
