Tool Cabinet

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 to the workbench, or project at hand.
