Project Information

I made this cabinet to store my hand tools, all of the material except the hinges was recycled. The case is pine, the door panels are box elder, most of the tool holders are maple. The painted panels are 3/4" plywood to make moving the holders around easier.

This was my first attempt at dovetails on a project so you'll have to forgive any gaps. The pulls are homemade out of 3/16" rod and cotter pins.

I finished the outside with a couple of coats of shellac, no finish on the inside.

It takes a lot of time to plan a layout for all your tools. I built my cabinet years ago and still need a good layout. Yours looks great! Well done!

Amazing tool chest. This is what I'm looking to build for my shop as well.

Brian, would you mind sharing the Length/Width/Depth dimentions if possible so we can get a better grasp of it's size?

Agreed: GREAT job.

Simple, clean, highly functional.

From my seat, looks like you did a heck of a job on your dovetails, too !

This is a great cabinet. Mine is very similar but I have been thinking of changing it around. I like your idea of using only one door. I may do this to mine.
