You can tell he's a real woodworker not because of the quality of the work but because he can't stop identifying all of his faults and problems with the result.
Agreed! Rob, beautifullyt done! My local teacher (cabinet maker) says that a really good woodworker knows how to hide his / her mistakes. (or turn them into a feature)
So beautiful! So much thought and design were put into it! As always thanks for sharing your insights and knowledge so we could learn and become better woodworkers
To say that that is a beautiful piece, filled with an amazing set of tools is such an understatement - truly wish I had the funds to bid for it. Side note, thanks for showing it again, has lit the spark again, to build my own tool chest, very much needed, lumber is already purchased and sitting waiting for me.
Such a labor of love. Watching every episode of this build, on the membership class was amazing. Such precision and attention to detail, and most calculations were done on the fly! The episodes of modifying the locking systems alone had me locked to the screen. The custom IBC chisel handles that you turned, are beautiful! Combining this incredible cabinet with your awesome tool selection will be a treasure for someone, someday. And our combat wounded Veterans will be the recipients of your sacrifice. Your light does shine before men, Rob Cosman. Now get over yourself about the slight color differences!
Amazing work Rob by you and your colleagues. I am happy to hear this was a year project. Sometimes I get dissapointed in myself because my projects take so long to complete were I am strictly using only hand tools. However, the fact this project took you the time it did reminds me even for the experts the art is a slow tedious process.
With the amount of work and detailing. A lot of people would not get an end result. Another task would take priority. FABULOUS to see this finished. I believe in time the colour of the woods will soften and will look even more amazing. Heirloom quality.❤❤❤❤❤❤ PHP
One these days, it's on my to do list! To have about all you need to make ANYTHING by hand, without power like in the bush... and it would really would help with consolidation in my shop plus free up more room. Tks for all you do for us vets! Handtools being quiet, dust free and truly giving you a sense of accomplishment like nothing else! Not to mention I've always felt like I was born in wrong era and the connection to the past using handtools in indubitably the strongest. To make furniture without nails or screws is one of my most proud skills and in huge part to you hippy Bob. My ptsd from getting blown up in Iraq as a combat engineer is nothing compared to how it used to be after becoming a handtool woodworker!!! Tks again my master teacher. I only wish I could come to your class but we've talked about my restraints before. I only wish I could help more than telling anyone and every vet about you... if you could think is a way call me. You called before when I bought my first saw off you so my# I would guess is in your system. Lemme know plz n I'll do what can for you and the PHP!
Over a year! Wow, that is some incredible patience. It is a quality that I hope to gain in my projects. I tend to get in a hurry and end up making mistakes that probably could have been avoided if i had exercised more patience.
Beautiful, beautiful piece, I can handle the wood colour change. Cannot wait for the lottery, raffle, auction or whatever way you intend to use to raise the funds, I'm in!
This is a beautiful cabinet Rob. Reminds me of the H. O. Studiey's cabinet that made the rounds 25 years ago. One nit-pick; I'm not fond of the use of magnets to hold chisels. A small residual magnetic field will remain in the steel of the chisels, and that will cause the chisels to hold on to the swarf when sharpening them, interfering with the finer grits.
Any chance of diagrams for the locking mechanisms? With the dimensions given, the case itself requires no plans. Thank you for sharing this beautiful cabinet.
Oh cool! A new Cosman video always makes my day. That thing is exceptionally nice. I've see much of the explanations of the various sections and parts during the live-streams but I will always watch, like, and comment on your videos to support the channel and by extension the work you do for the vets. I hope that cabinet brings a ton of cash. I can't even imagine what kind of price tag would have to go on here if it was simply up for sale. Good luck with it and as always, thanks for posting.
This is specifically for Rob. Can you please demonstrate how you would go about making a drawer for a cabinet with a face frame? I would really like to know what is the best way to go about this.
Rob. Fine job looks great. I need something to keep my special tools in . I LIVE a mile from the Gulf of Mexico and I can watch tools rust . My WR 5 1/2 WAS a casualty that really upset me I need to make it so it'll seal up that way I can cope things with a thin coat of oil and put them in there with a bunch of moisture packets Maybe maybe that will help me a little bit more control in the rust have a great day sir I enjoy your show
I agree....The trick is building a sealed or nearly sealed container. The lid or doors is where most of the air / moisture comes it. It must seal to the searface with some type of gasket
Nice work, Rob. Other than the joy of designing and building a cabinet like this, I've never understood their appeal. Aren't they next to useless in the workshop? They hold only a small portion of the tools found in even the smallest workshops and if your new panel saw is too long, or the head on your new mallet is too big you have to either rebuild your cabinet or store your new tools somewhere else. I'd love to hear arguments in favour of these cabinets - other than the pleasure and experience gained in their making.
Because the guy who created it did not catch it and neither did we and its too small of an error to spend the time and money to correct. We are suppose to be making a brand new entry clip
As a woodworker and a carpenter, I take the finger-jointed brick molding that comes with exterior doors (like the white one in the video's background).... and I throw it on the burn pile. Unique custom molding will be the first thing people see when passing through my doorways. Bust out that 66 beader and get to it.
I started woodworking last year. I have been watching lots of your videos and was just thinking about building a hand tool cabient, perfect timing on this video
I lov watching your videos, im pretty new to wood working, about a year now, watching this , well ill never achieve that quality , 8m 70 now, but I love making things, im still doing basic builds, boxes and such, but im learning! Thanks for your video.
Thanks Rob, you are such a Master Craftsman. I really love your intricate dovetails, especially in the contrast wood. This is such a beautiful piece, it is a shame to use it. But, that's what wood working is all about,. Sure, it will eventually get a bit dinged up, but that will give it some character and will show it has actually been used. Rob, you should be very proud of not only the fine wood working you do, but also the important work you do for the Combat Wounded Veterans. Thank you for share this with us and with everything you do. Thanks mate. From kmdc in Oz.
How about selling the plans to generate revenue? Obviously some parts, such as saw & chisel holders will have to be varied to suit an individual's own tools but the cabinet itself could be to fixed dimensions.
I like this tool cabinet. I would have done it out of BB Ply as it's workshop furniture. I'm well versed in Sketchup so if you send me the dims, I'd be happy to give you a3dmodel for everyone to download/
@@RobCosmanWoodworking missing letters on my first comment, so I bought the wood river 5.5 really like it , I use it a lot, even used it to cut the miters for my box liners, still learning it though, 👍 thanks
You can tell he's a real woodworker not because of the quality of the work but because he can't stop identifying all of his faults and problems with the result.
He'll point out faults and problems before viewers do, probably claiming he was trying to hide them!
Agreed! Rob, beautifullyt done!
My local teacher (cabinet maker) says that a really good woodworker knows how to hide his / her mistakes. (or turn them into a feature)
I generaly turn my mistakes into a feature
I generally have to start over 😢
ooooof!! That is fantastic!!
For sale for a good cause! Our Purple Heart Project.
gorgeous!
So beautiful! So much thought and design were put into it! As always thanks for sharing your insights and knowledge so we could learn and become better woodworkers
Love that build! Excellent work, Rob.
Really appreciate your comment
The attention to detail is incredible. Great work and a great cause.
That is freaking beautiful Rob!! both inside
It was a labor of love
@@RobCosmanWoodworking the piece reflects that well
Hi Rob, thanks for showing this. great job and I enjoyed watching.
Beautiful tool cabinet and incredibly engineered! Well done Rob!
Thanks for the comment

Ok well start making shavings and build that tool cabinet
Great piece. I have really enjoyed watching it come together over the last year. I'm sure whomever ends up with it will treasure it.
Rob. That is a fantastic tool cabinet. So well done..😊
It is very beautiful
Thank-you!
Great work as always, Rob.
Thanks for commenting
simply gorgeous
Its a very beautiful piece and inspiring
Thanks for watching
THANKS FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO
Love your work/videos, and your support of vets. Keep it up. Looking forward to making one of these one day.
Well whats wrong with starting today?
@RobCosmanWoodworking You're not wrong, and I'm sure you don't wanna hear my excuses ha
What a masterpiece!
It was a hoot to build

Good noght, this is gorgeous
Well...it will do in a pinch !!!!
Love the lock a lot.
I was very disappointed we could not find a high quality brass lock. They use to be easy to find
Amazing work Rob by you and your colleagues. I am happy to hear this was a year project. Sometimes I get dissapointed in myself because my projects take so long to complete were I am strictly using only hand tools. However, the fact this project took you the time it did reminds me even for the experts the art is a slow tedious process.
Slow if fast is you get my meaning
Excellent stuff! Reminds of Henry Studley's tool box.
Not sure I can live up to Studley's but thanks for the comparison
That's significantly smaller than I imagined it to be.
Fantastic how you managed to fit so much into such a compact cabinet.
its designed as a bench top or table top cabinet
Beautiful cab! The saw till hardware would be great to offer for sale on your website!
Very custom!
With the amount of work and detailing. A lot of people would not get an end result. Another task would take priority. FABULOUS to see this finished. I believe in time the colour of the woods will soften and will look even more amazing. Heirloom quality.❤❤❤❤❤❤ PHP
I agree with you the color will change abit and hopefully blend
Really like the tool case. I need to build one for my hand tools.
I agree...now start building

Over a year! Wow, that is some incredible patience. It is a quality that I hope to gain in my projects. I tend to get in a hurry and end up making mistakes that probably could have been avoided if i had exercised more patience.
Been there done that. Slow down and enjoy the journey
The color of the Aspen(or the contrast) is just enough. I like it better than something lighter.
I just prefer with its bright white for the contrast
Beautifully done! It always seems like half the battle is finding the correct hardware. Well, it is for me, haha.
You and me both!
Heck, I would be happy with the prototype, a lot better than not new to me laundry room cabinets that I use.
I keep my prototypes as give aways
You did a great job Rob!
Thanks for such a nice comment
Absolutely gorgeous!
Thanks for watching
Thank you Rob for teaching us your craft! You are not only a great craftsmen but also a very good teacher.
Awesome craftsmanship Rob!!!
Thanks you so much
Beautiful, beautiful piece, I can handle the wood colour change. Cannot wait for the lottery, raffle, auction or whatever way you intend to use to raise the funds, I'm in!
As long as you make a bid!
Rob, I love your passion.
Its who I am
I have found that the method of drying the walnut(air dried versus kiln dried) can affect the color.
This is a beautiful cabinet Rob. Reminds me of the H. O. Studiey's cabinet that made the rounds 25 years ago. One nit-pick; I'm not fond of the use of magnets to hold chisels. A small residual magnetic field will remain in the steel of the chisels, and that will cause the chisels to hold on to the swarf when sharpening them, interfering with the finer grits.
I have not experienced that. I wonder if it has anything to do with me putting wood between the magnet and the blade?
Maybe more that you touch up your blades before really course grits are needed.
Incredible!!!
Well it holds the tools nicely !
Any chance of diagrams for the locking mechanisms? With the dimensions given, the case itself requires no plans. Thank you for sharing this beautiful cabinet.
What kind of diagrams are you looking for with the locks?
Oh cool! A new Cosman video always makes my day.

Looks great- but the screws seem like an after thought. Perhaps some flatheads clocked in the same direction?
one day ill have all those tools..
This is specifically for Rob. Can you please demonstrate how you would go about making a drawer for a cabinet with a face frame? I would really like to know what is the best way to go about this.
Beautiful, great craftsmanship. 👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much!
Fantastic job, my friend! It was very well thought out and executed. I love the idea of using it in support of veterans. Amazing work, Rob.
Hopefully we can figure out a way to sell it and send the proceeds to PHP
Wow
Thanks

Stunning work sir that is art in wood. Y.N.W.A.
Thank you very much!
What are the clips for the brace bits called? Im having a hard time finding those
The hockey stick tape on the hammers and the coping saw is awesome! Brings back memories.
Nice work, Rob. Other than the joy of designing and building a cabinet like this, I've never understood their appeal. Aren't they next to useless in the workshop? They hold only a small portion of the tools found in even the smallest workshops and if your new panel saw is too long, or the head on your new mallet is too big you have to either rebuild your cabinet or store your new tools somewhere else. I'd love to hear arguments in favour of these cabinets - other than the pleasure and experience gained in their making.
It depends on th euserand what you do, how you do it and how you want to store your tools. To each their own!
If you have to lock tools up so they aren't rehomed.
Surely there should be slotted brass screws in the hinges.
Surely there should not. Those things are terrible.
@@RobCosmanWoodworkingyou surprise me Rob, but they do look the best.
Will there be plans for this. I would definately buy them. It might be a good fund raiser for PHP.
what kind of augers you you have?
Restored Antique Irwin auger bits
Dam it there rob sure glad you cut your
@0:19 - why is the RC on the hat in reverse???

@@RobCosmanWoodworking , beautiful cabinet!
Very nice. And thanks for the video. It took my mind off politics. I need to spend time in my shop.
As a woodworker and a carpenter, I take the finger-jointed brick molding that comes with exterior doors (like the white one in the video's background)....
and I throw it on the burn pile.
Unique custom molding will be the first thing people see when passing through my doorways.
Bust out that 66 beader and get to it.
Just popped into see if he's invented anything else new in sharpening planes & dovetail joints during the year !
I started woodworking last year. I have been watching lots of your videos and was just thinking about building a hand tool cabient, perfect timing on this video
Well there you go...Timing is everything!
Rob I knew you are hardcore, but I didn’t expect to see a brace in your cabinet. 😮
Braces are great
Woodworking woodworking woodworking..... nothing else... No time wastage TRADE MARK of Rob Cosman👍👍👍👍Rob , you are great💙

Wow. If that took you a year it would take a mere mortal a decade. I hope to someday join one of your classes.
Remember I was building it 45minutes at a time only 3 days a week which is our filming schedule for the online workshop

Obviously some parts, such as saw & chisel holders will have to be varied to suit an individual's own tools but the cabinet itself could be to fixed dimensions.

Very beautiful! BUT, shop tools? Maybe rare family heirlooms or a very valuable watch collection. This isn’t an example of “shop furniture”.
No , its a piece of fine shop furniture.
