A project that never stops! I started building the main cabinet using Michael Pekovich s plans three years ago. I soon realized a single cabinet wasn t enough, so added two additional single door cabinets to each side. Then came the display shelves between the cabinets. I continually modify the various tool holders and lay out as my tool collection changes, this in itself is a lot of fun!
My turning chisels are enclosed in a tilting block with wooden hinges. All dovetails by hand. Rare earth magnets hold the chisels.
The timber is all Fijian Mahogany, with some veneers of Honduras Figured Mahogany. Raised panel doors for the exterior, internal doors used shop made veneers. All drawer pulls and handles my first attempts at turning. Some french polishing, but mainly finished using Osmo.
It has been a learning journey which continues.

Michael,

That is a beautiful thing to see! I thought my tool wall was cool. Now I know it is merely a draft of what I will build in the future. Why do you have 3 sets of bench chisels?

Thank you for posting.

Incredible.

Thanks for your very kind comments Petey!
Yes, 3 sets of bench chisels – just silly. Will give them onto my sons, but for now until I need some extra space they’re hanging up in reserve. The LN’s are the nicest, but my “go to” are the Marples.
Cheers…
