someone gave me a destroyed cherry top table, broke down and turned it into usable lumber. combined a lot of different ideas to come up with what I hoped would grow with me saw and plane till. custom tool holders and use the angle of the back to keep things in place. Hand cut all the joinery...

I've been meaning to build a plane till for ages to replace my original one, which I outgrew quite quickly. I looked at an angled till, and using string to support the planes but in the end went with magnetic bars. They hold strongly but the planes can be removed easily for use still.

A coupla years ago we were going to move so my wife packed up and boxed up most everything and we sold some display cabinets. Put the boxes into a storage place and then we decided not to move. I built a shed for the boxes since the storage place kept raising the rent. All of my planes were...

My basement workshop space is tight and I have a lot of hand saws and planes. I needed a piece of furniture that could combine both a Saw Till and a space for Planes that fit into a tight space under a wall cabinet. After much research and some measuring, I built this Saw & Plane Till Cabinet...

This is my plane till (much needed) made from blue-stained pine. It included my first hand cut box joints. I did not remember to take a pic before I had it filled! There is a tiny rare-earth magnet that sticks to the plane soles. Works pretty good. I really love the look of the blue-stained...

Had to find a storage solution for my rapidly growing hand plane collection. Even more rapid once I started designing it. I wanted to leave space for some planes I didn't have like the #6 and the 5-1/2, but couldn't find any reliable dimensions online, so I went ahead and hunted them down on...

I love the shop to be as organized as possible. Lately I have been too focused on that, and need to get back to "paying" jobs! <snicker>

The frame is made of oak and the dividers of wenge. Took longer than expected but came out better than expected too. Leave a comment if you like it or you have a question.

This was a project that I came up with after I had after I had built my Travel Plane Till. I used it for a while and it worked great. It still works great, for that matter. After getting a couple more planes (#4 1/2, and #5 1/2) that required modifying where magnets were, and having to leave...

This is a plane till I built because I wanted the hand planes closer at hand…and I'd just finished installing a French cleat wall, so why not! It's a combination of maple and birch ply. I used loose tenons as a way to try integrating the two wood types using that method of joinery. A little...

I like to keep my hand planes "handy" so this plane till does this. The slight slant back keeps the planes from falling but also allows me to have a paper towel roll underneath for the inevitable glue spills and paint spatters. When I got the #7 plane it was a bit of an afterthought so I tacked...

I'm in the midst of moving my workshop from a small basement space to a slightly larger basement space. I posted my saw till previously, and this week I built a plane till for my "users". The design is straightforward, although I purposely echoed the saw till as the two tills bookend my wall...

I had a shelf of planes that I wanted to consolidate and allow me to better see them. Started out with some pine scraps but routed a groove iron the wrong side of one piece so that forced me to move to some red oak for the frame. I had a dreadful time with cutting my dovetails at first but did...

After being bitten by the hand plane bug, my collection quickly outgrew the storage space available in my small shop. I started researching how other LJ's had built tool cabinets and plane tills and was immediately struck by the additional storage in LukieB's design. With only 110 sq ft to...

So I had a #5 and a 60 1/2. Then all of a sudden I picked up a crapload of them in one sitting. So I need a safe place to put them. I used cypress scraps and just glued the runners in. No finish. Not much to it. I did use a biscuit joiner on the top, bottom and sides. Just bought it off...

I bought a WoodRiver #5 V3 plane about 6 months ago and could not be more pleased with it. Woodcraft had a 15% off sale so I bought the package deal of 3 planes (#4, #6, & block plane) they offer that saves about $100 if bought separately plus the 15% making it a great deal. Have a cheap #3...

It's about 2 years since I posted a project…because it's been nearly 2 years since I've made much of anything! My wife and I unexpectedly picked up everything we owned and moved from Minnesota to Colorado about 2 years ago. We stayed with my in laws for the better part of a year, which meant...

Finally! 18 months later, I am finished with my hanging tool cabinet. I completed many other projects during this time. I would do a project, then come back to this to work on some more tool holders. Very tedious stuff. I took the design from Mike Pekovich and his FWW Video Workshop Series. The...

Made a simple plane till and some screwdriver and chisel storage from scrapwood. The plane till is from a veneered and broken dining room table that had some nice walnut edging and legs which I salvaged. I have no idea what the veneer is, but I think it looked great in this project with the...

Like many other jocks, I found myself getting more and more into hand tools lately. After keeping my planes in their original boxes for months, I finally got sick of stepping around them and other tools and decided to build some permanent storage. I searched around and found some cabinets on...
