New tool cabinets!

Nice! Don’t tell your wife, but I see plenty room on the left door for more tools. LOL.

Beautiful job!

A very nice tool arrangement.

Nice! I like whats on the inside even better than whats on the outside! Great idea leaving more room for future tools, gotta remember that one..

Very nice set-up! Now you will be able to have a place for everything. Saves a lot of down time when something is missing.

Nice work J. Those are great looking cabinets. If you have them filled up already, maybe you better make some more. I thought I saw some open wall space over there somewhere.

Wow! Very nice. Organization is a wonderful thing! These will be well worth the effort you put into building them.

Looking good! I especially like the arrangement of the saws. Might have to steal that idea when I re-do my cabinets.

jpl,

Thanks for posting this project. I’ve been postponing thinking about how to design my hand-tool cabinet for at least 6 months now. Hopefully after seeing yours I’ll get to work.

Very nice organization of the tools.

I see lots of room for more tools. That looks like a brand new Veritas smoother on the bench. going right a long. good looking set of cabinets.

Nice touch JPL…I just finished a simular chest in my garage as well and it was a very welcome addition…the organization will save you tons of unwanted stress in the shop…these tool chest are not only functionable they should be acredited by the Heart Inst. of America for stress relief…every shop should have one.

Really nice looking tool cabinet. Makes me realize how disorganized my shop is. I guess I had better get busy :-))

Like Alin, I too have put mine on a back burner in hopes of gathering more info. Yours is truely an inspiration. I’ve even noticed that you painted your shop walls! That’s something of a rarity here.

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

Great cabinets, great storage for hand tools, and great visual addition to the shop! Nicely done.

Definitely a nice addition to the shop.

You’ve done yourself quite a favor by building these – I have never seen the saw on a dowel strategy – where did you see that? Or was that you conception? Nice work!

-- Dorje (pronounced "door-jay"), Seattle, WA

The saw-on-a-dowel idea is my own. It lends a certain “airiness” to the piece.
Also, note the old red pegboard, unceremoniously shunted aside until I can find someting else to do with it…

Great tool cabinets!

I’ve been wanting to build a cabinet to hold the recent accumulation of hand tools I’ve done. I’ve been trying to come up with an efficient design, and I love how you keep the saws. That method might just be how I’ll keep my saws and make room for the other stuff. I suppose it would be prudent, though, to leave an empty spot or two for the planes I still think I need. Thanks for the idea. -SST

Thats really nice. I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to store my tools.

Man those are nice looking, looking at the doweling solution, I thought ahh! That is reason for the shape…
