Tool Cabinet

Wow!! that is very nice. You’ve done a fantastic job, that is a great way to store all those nice tools. Did you dream this design up, or are there similar plans somewhere? It looks great!

Looks great! We could stand for the photos to be a little larger, though. :-)

Thanks for the kind words. I just combined lots of other cabinets I have seen and fit it for my tools. I’ll repost the pics in larger format. I’m working on a matched lower chest for under the bench, and will post pics soon.

Great work!

Thanks for the post

Awesome job – enjoy your piece! I started really using hand tools in the last few years (I mean really using them to fine tune and fit parts). Once you learn to keep them sharp and use them accurately, you’ll wonder how you got along without them. PLUS… there is truly a wondeful thing about working wood with hand tools (i.e., without power and the extra noise). I hope this doesn’t start a rant thread – I’m NOT an anti-power tool user…just love a sharp chisela nd hand plane :)

I wish I had the wall space for a cabinet like that. Maybe one day…

I’d love to see some bigger photos, if you can.

Very nice work… Was this your own design?

This is a wonderful storage area for your tools. Congratulations on the dovetails that is a major hurdle for most woodworkers.

Nice design and you chose a nice combination of woods.

Thanks for the post.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

That’s a beauty GaryB and it looks like you have a nice selection of hand planes to keep it company.

That’s very nice. I could use something like that also.

Thanks for the positive feedback.

Sweeeeeet!

Very nice home for a sweet collection…Blkcherry

“Fairly new to hand tools”, and you already have a full complement of planes & saws? I’d say you’re doing all right!

I was just thinking I need to make a tool cabinet myself – thanks for the inspiration (though right now I’m thinking I’m just going to rough one out of ply to get started, see what kind of space I need, etc, and then later on build the “ultimate” cabinet…)

Super!

Very Nice work Gary and a good start on the hand tool collection. I can tell you from experience, once you start down the Neanderthal Path , storage expansion will be an ongoing project.
Keep up the good Work,

Have you been given the secret Galoot handshake? (It’s kind of hard to do, what with our knuckles all botched up from dragging on the ground…)

Excellent work!

Hi Gary

Great looking tool box. You are my kind of guy. Everything has a place and everything in its place. You did a beautiful job on this piece. Thanks for posting.

God Bless
