I Like the whole idea, there should be provision for the saw vise too-
How about a box that the saw vise clamps to that holds the set, joiner,
files etc?
This would be designed to clamp into a bench vise for use and would be
stowed atop the till.

Stan's till with the slots looks good, and it displays the tools
attractively, the practical aspect being that when things are visible they
are better cared for and used. My two slapdash tills hold the saws standing
up on their handles with the back of the blade facing out. This takes less
space than the above but the saws are sort of hidden.
