Tool Cabinet
-
Hi Folks,
I am in the process of designing a tool cabinet to hold my most precious hand tools. I figure it will be approximately 4' wide by 3' tall by 8 to 12" deep, with two doors. It will hold hand planes from a 24" jointer to my smallest block plane and many in between. It will also hold marking tools, chisels, measuring tools, screw drivers etc.
Do any of you have a model or ideas or suggestions? I will share the final model and pictures with the group when I have completed it.

What about one based on the H. O. Studley tool chest. It supposedly holds 300 tools, each tucked away in its own custom cubby hole.

You mean this sort of thing?

Damn!
Kenny, you beat me to it
Joe, there are quite a few nice ideas in Fine Woodworking Magazine.
Have you seen them? -
cheifwoodworker,
i checked out your site and saw your work, you've made some really nice stuff there. and thats what you're toolbox should showcase. i think it should exemplify the level of quality you put into your show pieces yet still function as a piece of equipment. -
Hi Folks,
Thanks for the comments and feedback. Kenny, Gidon, I've seen the Studley tool chest before. I think it was in a book I have on workshops. And yes I get and have looked through Fine Woodworking magazine. I thought maybe you guys may have designed one of your own that might be unique.
Titmas, I plan to build it with the same construction techniques I use in my furniture, but will use a mix of scrap wood. So it will have random pieces of tiger maple, black walnut, blistered maple, spalted maple, wormy butternut, etc. Everything in my shop so far has been constructed from plywood and red oak trim. So this will be the first "show" piece. I looking to have fun with it.
Thanks again guys
