Here’s the project I had in mind for years. Finally done. The door fronts are 1/2” Baltic Birch plywood, the sides and the backs are 3/4” birch plywood and all moldings are walnut. For the finish I applied Linseed oil.
It’s 32” tall (think basement workshop) and all components, let’s say the doors, are 18” wide, meaning the whole unit spans 9 feet wide when opened. It was fun burning some tools on the doors so everyone will know it belongs to a woodworker.
Look for more photos and all construction details from this page of my blog. (look for Old Posts button down below each page).
It took me years to finally build it, I believe it will take years to manufacture all required hand tool holders ! LOL
Thanks for spending time to take a look at my new hand tool cabinet which I’m very proud of.
Best,
Serge

I wouldn’t hasitate to put those cabinets into kitchen rather than in workshop. Great job! Those tools on doors are extraordinary.

Great job. Lots of space. Nice wood burning job.
It shouldn’t take you long to make the custom tool holders. It only took me a month to make mine.
Don’t forget to post when all the tool holders are made and the cabinet is full of tools.
Thanks for sharing.

You did a super job on these. Wood burning the tools on the front is a great idea, agree it shows a wood workers cabinet. As for making the tool hangers, I don’t think that will take as long as you say. I believe you will hit it with a passion to fill these beauty’s up! Thanks for sharing!
