Hand Tool Wall Cabinet

Project by wlhutch posted 354 days ago 937 views 19 times favorited 13 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I finished and installed a tool cabinet for hand tools. The plan was from FWW and was a simple straight forward build with box joints. I used construction grade ply and maple banding for the edges. I also added a shop logo from my own design.

Very cool. Great setup. Place for everything and masterfully done. Love the sign.

Very cool—extremely high “useability” index, which is what counts. I find that the more neat and orderly my work environment is, the better my work. I think this tool chest reflects that. Have you seen pictures of the Studley tool chest?

Well done, and inspiring!

That is fantastic. I love how you have merged various tool mounts together. I wish I had all your tools!

wow!, great job!

I really like the way you painted it and the logo. It’s also on my to- do list. I’m getting tired of the peg boards.

I guess I’ll fall in line with all the others…............ sure would like one. Great job and design, I’ve added to my favorites and may actually get one done next year.

Thanks everyone. The cabinet itself was an easy build, it’s the tool mounts that are time consuming. Three-quarter inch ply was used except for the half inch on front and back faces. I would suggest using three quarter on the front, it makes for fewer screw hole repairs when securing mounts!!

The chisel and marking gauge mounts are great, I think I need to remember this post when I get around to building my tool chest. Thanks for the great photos.
