A quality hand tool is a lifetime investment. As a matter of fact, many of the saws, planes and chisels that serve me well today started their “careers” in the possession of woodworkers several generations past. One of the keys to this longevity is proper care and storage. That’s what this wall-mounted saw till is all about. The large, upper section provides a safe, convenient resting place for both your large and small handsaws. The shelf below can be used to store some of your most used hand tools or shop items you want to keep within easy reach. But as you can see, this handy till goes a bit beyond basic practicality. It has a classic “cabinetmaker’s” design that befits the traditional tools it holds. Two design features stand…

SHOP PROJECTS & STORAGE IDEAS CONSTRUCTION DETAILS OVERALL DIMENSIONS: 36¼" W x 48" H x 20" D Lower Case Construction I like to think of this tool cabinet as a trusty sidekick to my workbench. I do most of my work at or near my bench, from planing and routing to trimming joints and assembly. So it’s important to have all the tools I need close at hand. When it comes to building a big project like this, it can be a little intimidating. So I find it’s helpful to step back and break it down into sections so you don’t get overwhelmed by the details. That’s what I did here. The tool cabinet is made up of four different elements: the case, the doors, the drawers, and the trays. SOLID-WOOD…

It seems like every tool chest I’ve ever had was too heavy to move around once it was loaded up with tools. Well, that’s not the case any more. With just a little “high-tech” aluminum riveted to some ¼" plywood, I was able to build a lightweight chest that was portable and heavy-duty. Then, to keep everything organized, I added removeable dividers, a sliding tray, and a pull-out bin. There’s even a small rack inside to provide quick access to often-used tools. And you can arrange these accessories any way you want to suit your needs. You’ll find all the details for this on page 48.

The tool storage you need for the type of woodworking you do is a personal thing. It takes time to figure out what warms your soul and makes you want to spend time in the shop. That’s when you’ll know you’ve arrived in your woodworking journey and want to graduate from the mishmash of cabinets that house your tools (old kitchen cabinets can only be modified so far). Options. This is a two-part cherry cabinet that sports frame and panel joinery for the doors which enclose storage spaces that will meet all your needs. As you see in the photos here there is an array of drawers and trays that allow you to choreograph not only the storage of fine tools, but the ability to take them on the road…
