Hand Tool Cabinet - PROGRESS.

A slow burning Woodworking project. My hand tool cabinet is made from scraps!
The main structure is "engineered flooring". The stuff with a thick oak veneer over plywood. It then has an oak face frame.
Painted green because, well, I had leftover green paint and I didn't want the oak flooring clashing with the beech. Which leads onto the doors...
The last remnants of spalted beech I saved from a friend's burn pile! Panels are shop sawn book matched veneers on plywood. Door construction is traditional mortice and tenon.
Maybe by the end of the year it'll be finished!

Love the spalting in the Beech. The Green frame looks great too. 👍

Absolutely. Where possible it's the best way. A chest can be the best solution. I find that if I'm working out of a chest it reminds me of living out of a suitcase Vs a wardrobe.

On the subject of recycled timber, I also like to use timber that was going to the scrap heap. In January I made a shaker style wall clock from an old hardwood front door. (Though there is surprisingly little usable timber in a door as it turns out - dowel holes everywhere, and the type of timber turned not out to be ideal!). Anyhow I was pleased with the finished article. This was inspired by a book you recommended on your channel last year. Thanks for the tip.

That's great Richard. I share the frustration with reclaiming wood. A door looks like it would have lots of great timber but joints, doweled or otherwise reduce the yield.

Very nice cabinet. Loads of room for tools. I hope you have strong walls in your workshop, this looks heavy even before it is filled. Excellent use of timber that was going to be burned too.

Hi Richard. Good strong stud to fix into. However, some gallows brackets might be a nice touch for a belt and braces approach.

Thanks Erhard. That's the plan. I don't want it to be massively over the top, just a bit of a celebration of storage.

That is beautiful. Not a huge fan of the green but thats just personal preference of color.

year and a half ? haha Looks great though !! Your friends was going to burn some chestnut ? Ouch, that's a sin over here in Canada... we can't buy it anymore :/

Planks of Beech and Chestnut 🔥! We're lucky, Chestnut isn't difficult to get hold of here but it would have been a waste.
