- This fifth and final part of the Tool Cabinet Tour series talks about the main case and supporting base, including construction and finish details, and the design inspirations for it.
That's the most artistic cabinet I've seen online since falling down the HO Studley well. Simply Beautiful, and the explanation of the juxtaposition between the indigenous people of Mexico and the Spanish shows so much depth of thought. Thank you very much for this masterful exposition of wood.
I was looking for insperation! I have just watch all 5 videos. I just love the depth of design and the use of the paper. The dovetail connection of top cabinet to the base.
I think one could get away with this in the living room.
BRILLIANT, thank you so much for these videos.
If ever I was jealous of a tool cabinet it's this one. Mr Studley would approve.
Great series. Really enjoyed it and hope to apply some of the ideas this weekend.
Great to hear!
The tour is very impressive
Truely awesome tool cabinet! Could you do a video on the Amate Bark or get into that a little more. That really adds to the build. Love your videos.
Lovely video again RC, thanks. I assume the semi-circular cutout on the bottom of the rear of the drawers is to allow the pressure to equalise when closing the drawer?
Lots of great inspiration for me in this series.
Yep. Good catch.
Hello, Only found your on UA-cam recently and glad I did. I love your work as far as I seen to date and will take a look at more as I get time to, I love what you have done with your Hand Tool Cabinet and NO you can't over do work if it is for yourself it should be the best and most pleasing to you
Hoping to see more of your cabinet of Woodworking Joy into the Future
Please don't take this as criticism, because I could not be more impressed with the thought and craftsmanship put in every detail of your work. Those details are the most fascinating part of what you've shared with us, and I would have loved to have seen close-ups of those details. It would certainly have changed the nature of your videography, and maybe that was impossible or difficult, but you reference things that we don't see, and yet they warrant attention. Your work is magnificent, RC. I found it difficult to focus at times on the cabinet details due to the level of tool porn you included here. Great work! Thanks, and happy new year.
Subscribed for the tool porn alone. Will undoubtedly gather woodworking intelligence as I catch-up and watch your episodes.
$8K cabinet + $28K tools = $36K of complete woodworking awesomeness. Great craftsmanship buddy, inspiring!
How did you layout the tool placement/holders? Did you do it in one shot with your tools to guide you or did you build each individual piece and then do a final layout/fitment into the cabinet? OCD at its finest 😂 thanks for sharing
I tried to layout the tools in sections, like one door, ahead of time, but once I started building tool holders I'd often change course a bit as the circumstances dictated.
Really beautiful. So much attention to the details.
You have my brain working about the dovetail orientation. It’s especially good when you have barely anything on the bottom panel with hanging everything or have a shelf with drawers on the bottom. I’m very tempted to make a smaller cabinet 2 ft wide, 2.5 feet wide and change the dovetail orientation between top and bottom. As long as the top goes on last it can be done. Working out any disadvantage to this but can’t think of one.
Not to mention you’re chest is on a base. Haha
Awesome loved the tour and the history!
Great design and even greater execution. Simply a beautiful and inspiring piece of woodworking!
I'm not quite following how the base and top cabinet fit together. Can you please describe that one more time in words here?
THANK YOU!
I'm not sure I can explain it any better here, but think of it as a french cleat that has three sides. (if you're unfamiliar with the term "french cleat", an internet search will turn up tons of examples) The base has trim that's like the part of the french cleat that would be on a wall. The top slides, from the back, into the keyway that creates.
Awesome design buddy.
Awesome!!! So beautiful!!!
Awesome job sir!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice
Hi there RC, I use the amazing work you do as an inspiration just love it! One question though how do you attach the face frames to your cabinet carcasses without Brad nails or pocket holes?
I’ve been looking at the doors for your tool box and love how they look but wasn’t sure if just glue alone would be strong enough, thanks again!
If I recall correctly, the face frames are just glued to the clamshell doors. A long grain to long grain glue surface with good contact is as strong, if not stronger, than the wood on either side of it.
@@themountaintopjoinersshop8422 thanks for the info and help!
It looks great, I just watched all five episodes, did you make the tool cabinet, using only hand tools? Just wondering
Mostly hand tools, but there was plenty of thickness planer and drill press involved as well.
@@themountaintopjoinersshop8422 I figured a planer, I’m a finish carpenter/ fine woodworker here in Scottsdale. You do very good work
How does that oil thing work, just put some oil on a rag and put that in a closed container? How often do you refill the rag? And what oil?
Basically, yes. It's 3-in-1 Oil, but WD-40, or Boeshield T-9 are both good options too if you can get them in a drip bottle rather than an aerosol spray. I add more to the rag whenever it seems completely dried out. I replace the rag when it gets so dirty it's a different color than when I started.
Sir was wondering if you had plans for this cabinet and base for purchase?
I don't. I've never built a furniture piece from plans, so I feel I'm uniquely unqualified to make and sell them.
@@themountaintopjoinersshop8422 I understand. Thank you. Enjoying the channel sir! Looking forward to more videos.
Building my tool cabinet is on the drawing board. Any noticeable wood movement?
A little bit in the fanned out background behind the spokeshaves (should've used quartersawn cherry) but otherwise, no.
