Tool Cabinet

Very nice. Tool storage was the last thing I did.. except my new storage method looks a bit like your old one :P

Nice set-up. I like the addition of the extra panel on the right…

How do you like that new LV plow plane?

Tidied things up very nicely. That is a nice collection inside the box, too.

Looks nice to me!

This tool cabinet is very nice. Especially the right wing.

I like the cabinet. You did a really nice job on it. I think that it is a universal truth that all shops are short of storage space. Your cabinet does a lot to alleviate this in your shop. I like the way you finished it out too. It adds a sense of furniture quality to the piece.

Great job.

Thanks for sharing.

Nice project for a tight space Kerry.
Looks like you took advantage of the Lee Valley special on piano hinges too!

Very nice project. It really makes the place look neat. Did you say that you were going to use the space on each side also. It looks like the doors are hinged so as to allow for that. Cool design.

This is one of the nicest of this type I’ve seen. Great job!

A nice home for your hand tools!

Looks nice. Also a nice collection of hand planes you have there.

-- You're a unique and special person, just like everyone else.

Looks great. Makes me think maybe I need to work on something like this. Thanks so much for sharing :)

EXCELLENT!!!!!

Thanks folks.

Yes Mario, I’m going to hang some saws and other tools on the walls to the sides. There’s about 4” of space left with the doors open.

Dorje – sorry I missed your question the 1st time. I rec’d the plow plane for Christmas haven’t had an opportunity to try it out on a project yet. I played with it a little on some mahogany and it sure was simple and quick to make a nice neat groove. I’m going to start a box soon and I’ll give it a better test run then and let you know.

Very nice. This thread was started almost 2 years ago. How is the cabinet holding up? What are its dimensions?

-- Tony

Very cool tool cabinet looks great

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Thanks. It’s holding up fine. The centre cabinet is 34” wide, 30” tall. With the doors closed it projects 12” from the wall (the centre portion is 8” deep). I like most parts about it, but someday I’ll probably find a different way to hold the saws. The magnetic strip works ok, but every once in a while I bump a saw and it falls. So far no damage, luckily.

Cheers,
