Cabinet plans are from the Woodsmith Shop.
http://www.woodsmithshop.com/episodes/season3/301/
All of the material used for the cabinet is pine that I discovered under a pile of leafs at a buddy’s house. His dad had it milled up years ago and it was just sitting there rotting. I was able to salvage quite a bit of it and this is the first project that I have used it on. Its ashame that it was all just going to go waste.
The hardware bins were purchased from Harbor Freight for $8 with 20% off coupon. The only problem with the bins is that there isn’t enough.
After searching the internet for suitable pegboard clips I came across a few good reviews here on Lumberjocks for Flex-Lock pegboard hooks and decided to give them a try. These hooks fit very tightly in the pegboard holes so you don’t have to worry about them falling out when reaching for a tool. They also ship free anywhere in the US!!!

This cabinet is a pretty straight forward build that can be built in a weekend and will provide you with far more storage than you can imagine. I even have a few empty spots left to fill in!!!
Sitting back now I ask myself what took me so long to build one of these.

Nice work, I made one a while back out of oak. I like all the storage this gives you! Nice score on the wood.

Nice work. It’s great to have a place for all of our most used tools. Thank God for peg board.

Nice. Excellent way to salvage some lumber and make yourself a real handy cabinet. Gotta love those small bosch drill/drivers….....

Great looking tool cabinet, qball. If you’re like me, you will run out of room and wish you had built it bigger – you never have too many tools, Thanks for sharing.

Very nice and tidy. Thanks for sharing, I’m planing to build one similar system.
It’s nice to see your different arrangement of tools, ...
....for me it’s not only a ‘storage cabinet’, it also serve to DISPLAY your tools and effort to collect them.
