Tool Cabinet - Wall mount

A very nice look with the poplar, and pegboard. If you would have just said it, I don’t think my mind would have seen this cabinet. Detail looks tight, it should do the job you have for it.

Enjoy having a place to organize the tools.

Great job. You did well.

Looks like the one I built a few years back, at 6’ and I used 1/4” ply for the doors instead of the glass.

I love the continuous face. It makes the sapwood standout nicely. I have a question. I was considering doing something like this in my garage, and I figure I have 24 inches between the wall and the end of potentially useful space. Any further and it gets i the way of cars I have to usually park there.

I’ve always liked the pegboard idea, but I feel like it is very wasteful of the potential space For example while having a few chisels available while working is useful, I see some people’s tool storage areas with what seems like 100 chisels and planes. But I would think that a more dense arrangement would be best, with easy access spots for “in use” equipment that you are using for your current project. When done, put them back to where they belong.

Thoughts?

Beautiful cabinet.

-- Live to tell the stories, they sound better that way.

That’s excellent and I agree, ‘Let’s see it filled’.

Real nice work! I too live the drawer faces (nice detail). I might do the same but with a solid board (not peg board) in the middle.

+1 more on seeing it filled.

Looks terrific. Nice job!

really good looking tool cabinet. I used to think I was better than pegboard, now I see how useful it is. This is a great way to make it look nicer in a good looking shop!

Very nice. Makes me think I need one in my shop.

Very nice – clean, tight and love the continuous grain across the drawers.

Where do you get wood grain pegboard? Lowes and Home Depot only carry white or brown
