Woodworking Tool Cabinet: Tool Storage Build (Part 10)

- See how to layout your hand tools in a woodworking tool cabinet. It's like a 3D jigsaw puzzle and it can be confusing. Watch how I select tools, designs the tool holders, and builds the storage in this tool cabinet.
I use an adjustable tool storage solution I created using vertical supports and pins. I developed this because I want to be able to change the configuration in the future if I acquire different tools. I also designed it in a way that the screws are hidden to give it a clean, refined look.
I've previously installed tool holders in the body of the tool cabinet and on the left door. I'm now trying to decide what tools to make tool holders for on the right door. I start by pulling out the tools that I think might be good to organize on that door.
I made the easiest decisions first. I made a file holder for the bottom of the door, similar to what I did with my chisel holder on the other door. I also made a mallet holder in the top corner because the mallet is so bulky and it seemed like a good spot to place it. Then what? That's part of the challenge of laying out a tool storage cabinet. This is a puzzle to determine what tools to put in the space. I like to group common tools so they're located together. This organization allows me to easily find what I'm looking for.
After looking at the tools I had on my workbench, I decided to make tool holders for my hand saws. I mocked up the space with painters tape on my workbench and started placing the saws in different spots to make the most efficient use of the space. Once I was happy with the layout, I needed to decide where to put the shelves to support the saws. I measured for the shelf dimensions and cut out the parts.
The verticals supports have pins on either end to lock into the shelves. The larger top pins are used to install a screw to hold the supports in place while concealing the screws. This gives the woodworking tool cabinet a quality finished look.
With the 2D layout set, I marked the areas to notch out for the tools. Next, it was time to solve the 3D aspect of the tool holders - how deep to make the notches for each tool. I used magnetic standoffs to hold the blades of the saws, so the standoff was my starting point to determine the depth of each saw handle.
I cut out the notches in the shelves and test fit them. Then I created and installed the magnetic standoffs for the saw blades. The last part was to fill and empty space in the tool cabinet door. I looked around the shop to find what would fit in that area and discovered my mini files would fit there.
I created the mini file holder using a technique called additive woodworking. Most of this project used subtractive woodworking, where I cut pieces out of the wood. Additive woodworking is building up parts to make something. I cut multiple pieces of 1/4 cherry at a 10 degree angle and glued them on a board, spaced apart by screws. After it was clamped and dried, I had a file holder.
I applied a coat of linseed oil and two coats of garnet shellac.
I installed the tools holders and loaded up the tools with a smile on my face. It felt so good to have these tools stored in a safe place that is easily accessible at my workbench. I'm proud of how this tool storage cabinet is coming along. I still have a few more things to do, but it is working well and has made me more efficient because my tools are accessible.

Very cool. I like the subtractive/additive concept and adaptions. Hiding the joints is inspired. Off to the shop to practice that. Thanks for sharing.
I love how you thought it out, to fit each shelf within each other and how each tool has it's designated place.
Thank you Dana. And thank you for subscribing! Scott
Such excellent workmanship I wish I’d have started before I was 67!
Thank you
I use to teach wood carving at a Boyscout camp someone before me hand made a beautiful box similar to what you are making thank you for putting together the video.
You're welcome. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it. Scott
Such detail and yes, I found your repair channel first, also brilliant!
Glad you found this channel too! Scott
Yo Scott, I was literally just going through all my subscriptions & was thinking Man... I haven't seen a video from Scott in awhile. And the Bam!!,here you are. Hoping all is well, hoping you guys have a Blessed 2021 & Dirty Jersey out!!
Now, I can sit back, relax, & kill the next 40+mins. at work enjoying some quality content!!
Glad you stuck with us... we've been building our other channel, Fixing Furniture so you can head over there for more videos to watch! Here's a link ruclips.net/user/fixingfurniture Cheers, Scott
@@HomeImprovementWoodworking Oh Man, I never knew. I just popped over & subbed. Looking forward to binge watching some videos over the weekend!! Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out again.
I’ve watched this build all the way through… I’m trying to build my first cabinet and looking for inspiration and I just wanted to say this was very inspiring and thank you! I subscribed several videos ago!
Excellent, very nice moment shared with you, many very good ideas. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! Scott
Wow, Scott. That is beautiful. I am jealous of your work shop. Sure beats the oily floor of my single garage. Great job! And thanks for sharing. I think you were having a little too much fun playing with the magnets, though ;)
Lol, thanks Greg! Glad you enjoyed it. Scott
This channel is definitely underestimated. Thank you, Scott! By the way, the other your channel (concerning furniture repaire) is also brilliant!
Wow, thanks! I appreciate that! Scott
Amazing, magnificent piece of art work for your tools. Most impressive!
Thank you very much Carol! I appreciate that. Scott
Hello Maestro!
Hi Don
Is this also your channel? I was surprised this notification days after it was posted. It was not channel I subscribed. I will subscribe then to this channel because I know I will surely learn from you.
Yes, I have 2 RUclips channels; Fixing Furniture and Home Improvement Woodworking. I posted a community message on Fixing Furniture about this video on Home Improvement Woodworking. This was my first RUclips channel and I hope you enjoy the videos! Scott
Your planes should stand vertically underneath your brace
Planes are typically in a plane till, but I chose to mount mine in a more decorative manner. The plane on top (No. 3) is my great grandfather's so it holds a lot of sentimental value. Scott 🇨🇦
@@HomeImprovementWoodworking Yes, i understand, I have a lot of my fathers tools and they hold the same sentiment and the system for providing selves and hangers and hiding the fixings is just genius. Great set of videos
Your danger warning sign about being properly trained? Most woodworkers have never been trained at all, much less properly trained. That should read, you should use common sense when working with tools. And if anyone has to question that statement then obviously they have no common sense and should not be around sharp objects.
Unfortunately, what I've witnessed is that common sense means different things to different people. Learning tool safety requires the teacher to observe the student, so it must be done in person. There are easy ways to do this - high school night courses are the most accessible to most people. Learning safety from a video (i.e., one way communication) is not effective. I hope that helps clarify my perspective on safety training. Scott
