mdbuilder Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 In my other workbench thread SAC asked for some info on the wall hanging toolchest so here goes. This is a cabinet designed by Christopher Schwarz a while back, I have it in a couple different books I own. Took me a solid couple months + to build. Wood selection is cherry for the primary parts of course, ambrosia maple for the panels, drawer fronts and back, poplar for the drawer sides and bottoms. Dovetails were all done by hand, there are a LOt of devetails . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuilderBill Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 So where're the pics of the hand-made strap hinges? Looks like a really nice piece, congrats! The drawer pulls are a nice finishing touch. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sac Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hey, thanks for posting these. It is a real nice tool cabinet. I am thinking that I ma going to be in need of one of these soon as my collection of hand tools is slowly starting to grow. And I am all about making shop furniture look nice. Thanks again.

mdbuilder Posted December 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Thanks, here's the final set. The hinges and pulls are Lee Valley items, made by some blacksmith in Italy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
