Help needed: tool box

>I'm finishing out my Roy Underhill style tool box (see Pic) and I'm looking for ideas for how to hold my saws in the drop down lid. I've thought of magnetic holders or some sort of wooden holding device. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

>Use a toggle lock for the two saws with closed handles. This is a shape the same as the hand opening in the saws with a piece that pivots on a screw or rivet to secure the saws to the lid.
The other saw can be secured with a tooth guard attached to the lid and the friction should hold it in place. You can add a twist toggle to secure it when moving the tool box.

>I would think about using earth magnets. Put a thin peice of wood under the blade to level it with the handles and epoxy the magnets into the wood. They will hold them nice and tight.
