Thanks! I had those in a box for a long time and finally found a use. They came from our first house and I don’t even remember why I took them off the windows… They are just a cool shape.
Thanks! The Studley chest is inspiring! I got to the point that I almost felt like I was cheating by using the magnets but, I figured that if they were as available and strong went Mr Studley built his chest, I bet he would have used them as well!
Thank you! I spent a lot of time in the shop with my father, from childhood to adulthood. I lost him 30 years ago but he still feels close when I am in the shop.
I’ve got one of those chairs which I found in a dumpster in 1980’s when I was a student - very comfortable because the seat was an old car seat - still have it - may be time for a restoration! 👍🇬🇧
A beautiful place for your hand tools! Thank you for sharing! Henry O. Studley was living in Quincy Ma when he built his magnificent tool chest. He and I have that in common…….oh, btw I jumped when broke glass cutting to your chair😂
Thanks! That is a very cool connection; his cabinet was definitely magnificent! Well, it sounds like I got your attention. 😄 I had originally had a crash there but my wife thought it was too loud so I changes to the glass.
I have to respect an opening shot where the plane goes into the ditch at the end of the stroke. We have all been there, and it is only the final stroke that counts.
The thing about craft is that sky is the limit… the only question is at what point you consider it is good enough 🙂 …I highly appreciate people who takes it to the limit and this is to me is a piece of beauty 🙂
Beautiful toolbox! I too I think most passionate hand tool woodworkers have the Studley tool box book and the Studley toolbox poster in their shop. It does provide great inspiration for woodworking tools and hand tool boxes that we create! 😎 Take care of my friend. I definitely hope to run into you one day. I keep saying that but I’m sure work has kept us busy.
Ive been thinking about building a tool cabinet and have been stuck on a few things, that you cleared up. One is how to reconfigure in the future as my tool inventory grows. When you described your doors, a light bulb went off in my head. Thankyou.
Thank you! I am really happy that it helped…. Unfortunately, I was at an antique show this weekend and came back with a new plane and 6 new chisels! I guess they will have to earn a place in the cabinet before I do another remodel…🤪. Seriously, it is important to make sure the main tool cabinet is not cluttered with tools that are not used regularly.
No, I had played with the magnets for the chisels and I wanted something at the bottom to keep me from gouging myself so with that requirement, it seemed to not make sense. The big mortice chisel does have a couple magnets since I didn’t have room to lift it out of a holder. Magnets would help prevent the lost room above the chisel holder to allow pulling them out.
Thank you! The small plane (HP8) is great. I grab for it all the time. The larger on (HP12) is beautiful and has 2 reversible blades that gives it 4 different cutting edges, one of which is toothed. However, I find taking the blade out cumbersome and have to use a magnet to get it out. Quality is great but it has a bit of a cold feel to it. All-in-all, I like it and use it occasionally but I prefer the Lie-Nielsen or vintage planes.
Beautiful work. Absolutely gorgeous. One reason I always watch these tool cabinet videos, is for ideas on storing hand drills and braces. Is there a reason you did not include them in your cabinet?
Main reason is space limitations. I want the tools I use the most in my cabinet. While I used the brace some, I don’t really use my egg beater much. I am very much a hybrid, I still love my power tools and use my cordless drills for most drilling. That said, I am getting ready to build out the next cabinet for some second tier tools and it will probably include the brace and bits.
Really gorgeous. I'm in the middle of designing mine and am struggling to find a spot for the router plane. I like your choice but how is that held in place, magnets?
Thank you very much! I did use magnets but since the router plane was a little heavy I routed a recess to support it and prevent it from sliding. Magnets work great! Even some of the tools that are supported in other ways, I use magnets to keep them from “banging around”. Good luck with your cabinet!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! Sorry about the startle…. I wanted to grab your attention but I have others say it startled them as well…. I am still learning the video side. 🥴
Thank you! Well, I am ‘kinda’ a Marylander…. I was born in a Maryland hospital because we lived in West Virginia and there was doctor in the town we lived in… I have been a Virginian now for the last 30 years though. Was it the accent or my phrasing???
This thing looks great. Something you might find interesting I recently learned, The New Yankee Workshop featured the Studley tool chest on an episode which you can watch easily on youtube now! Incredible piece of work/art. ua-cam.com/video/KcIHpxVJwOU/v-deo.htmlsi=Gsh3Upfw399wjOdw Norm builds a more beginner friendly version but I'd say you've pulled off a more advanced version yourself here, great work again!!

8:00 I was gonna ask about those drawer pulls but figured I'd watch the video, first. I like them. I like repurposing things too.
Thanks! I had those in a box for a long time and finally found a use. They came from our first house and I don’t even remember why I took them off the windows… They are just a cool shape.
Loved the tool cabinet. The Studley chest inspired me to make my chest a few years ago and I also use magnets to keep my tools from banging around.
Thanks! The Studley chest is inspiring! I got to the point that I almost felt like I was cheating by using the magnets but, I figured that if they were as available and strong went Mr Studley built his chest, I bet he would have used them as well!
That box is a work of art....very nicely done.
Thanks! Appreciate the feedback!
My favorite part of your magnificent cabinet is your dad’s wings and the medallion, very special
Thank you! I spent a lot of time in the shop with my father, from childhood to adulthood. I lost him 30 years ago but he still feels close when I am in the shop.
The moment I saw your tool chest I knew that you had been inspired by the Studley one! Very well done
Thank you!
I’ve got one of those chairs which I found in a dumpster in 1980’s when I was a student - very comfortable because the seat was an old car seat - still have it - may be time for a restoration! 👍🇬🇧
I will be restoring this over the next couple weeks. You should restore yours as well! Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Obviously, I went farther than actually needed but it was fun to see how far I could take it.
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you.
Thank you very much!
That tool box is a work of beauty, very nice work
Thank for you nice comment! It is appreciated!
Beautiful work !!!!!
Thanks! It is a constant work in progress!

Thanks! We should catch up. Would you happen to be going to the Working Wood in the 18th Century conference in Williamsburg this January?
Very cool!
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback!

I like the chisel storage. Do you have magnets behind each one?
The cabinet looks great I am thinking of making one for myself now

Beautiful job on your tool box! Functional and good looking.
How do you like your Bridge City hand planes compared to all the others?
Thank you! The small plane (HP8) is great. I grab for it all the time. The larger on (HP12) is beautiful and has 2 reversible blades that gives it 4 different cutting edges, one of which is toothed. However, I find taking the blade out cumbersome and have to use a magnet to get it out. Quality is great but it has a bit of a cold feel to it.

That is what I have wound up doing with mine, second tier storage. They’re awkward things to store.

Nice cabinet and enjoyed the video. Could have done without the breaking glass sound, which startled me.

Thank you for your compliments! I remember that episode now that you mention it! Thanks for the link, that will be fun to watch again!

Probably so…. I was honestly surprised at how much I liked it.
