Plane Box

The pattern on the purple heart is very interesting. It definitely pulls your attention to it :)

Where on earth did you get so much purple heart? -that is incredibly beautiful! At first i thought how it is a shame more folks won’t see such a beautiful piece, but, I suppose with the amount of time spent in them, we should make our shops appealing as well!

Please explain the purple heart pattern.

Great looking box and I love the way those planes sit in there, but what happens when you get another plane?

Looks great! Love the doors.

Looks to me like one fine home for some treasured tools. Well done Mike!

I’m not sure which is more beautiful the cabinet or the planes. I’d love to have both. Good job.

Nothin PLANE about it … nice work!

Thanks everyone for the replies. For anyone interested in how I made the pattern on the doors please just have a look at my router table in my projects. Brandon I already have that problem, I have other planes in drawers, maybe another box one day.

Great job! My first thought when looking at the interior was “No room for expansion!”.

I am scared to build one as I know if I leave room I will be looking for a new plane to fill it… :)

Well done, Mike!

learnin2do, if you want some purpleheart, send me a message, I have much more than I will likely ever use…

I like the pattern in the doors. I wish I had so much exotic wood that I could call that piece of purpleheart a leftover.
