I looked for some plastic protectors to use on my wood chisels but could find none.

Any ideas on how I can fabricate some ?

Get some of that stuff they dip tool handles in to form a coating . Oil the
chisel well before you dip it .

How often do you plan to cover/uncover them?

You can use plastidip if you dont mind "remaking" the covers periodically
(depends on how often you plan on peeling it off/slipping it on)

I've always kept my wood chisels in a sort of carrying case (each
having its own little "slot". Depending on quantity and sizes,
you can repurpose something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Flyshine-Canvas-Artist-Protection-42x36cm/dp/B00VYDGXVC/
(imagine the chisel points *in*, not *out*)

or even fabricate a custom one out of some heavy canvas or vinyl
(vinyl is a win if you keep your tools oiled while stored)

You must be one of those old time carpenters I was talking about. That
is exactly the sort of thing I was talking about. Those old boys
respected their tools.

Thanks.

I will make a bag for them out of scrap material.

Cheaper than the $10 for the chisel guards.
And they won't roll around either.

I always save the ones that come on a new chisel but old time
carpenters have a chisel box with dividers that they store these tools
in

Duct tape.

I've a number of Marples crank-neck chisels and gouges
from the first half of the 20th century that have protectors
made from masking tape. They're still perfectly viable.

Note that the adhesive side of the tape is not exposed to
the chisels.

If mythbusters can make a wallet out of Duct tape, it should
follow that one can use similar techniques to fabricate a
tip guard without exposed adhesive.

In the case of my Marples chisels, the tape is folded over,
adhesive to adhesive in such a way as to form a custom fitted
pocket for the edge and covers about one inch of chisel.

Check out the Duct Tape episode in this, their final season.

They made a Trebuchet using only wood and Duct Tape. Of course,
they then destroyed something with it by flinging a burning
projectile at a - well, I won't spoil the fun.

I'd go with cloth or cardboard. Cut/fold. Rubber band to secure.
