Did you build this just for your tools or is it a cabinet recycling project ?

GMman,

This is a nice tool cabinet and you have a nice collection of hand tools to go in there. Being able to see your tools in there is a good idea.

Thanks for posting this.

My problem is I have too many tools for the size of my shop…what you see is about 1/6 of the tools I have.

Nice, almost looks like a shrine. I am afraid I would have to bow everytime I passed by. :)

Complete with crown molding. Neato!

Of course, you aren’t REALLY a woodworker after all, are you. Not a spec of sawdust to be seen!

(Or you are the neatest woodworker on the planet???)

Nice project!

You know I had tools all over the place like most woodworker have and I ran into this, the top part of a hutch that this shop made and the person that had it made change their mine so I got the top part for close to nothing all I had to do is replace the glass shelf with wood one so now if I want a tool I just look and take it. For he dust I cleaned before taking the pictures lol lol
