thewoodwhisperer.com This video covers the assembly of the tool chest and the organization of the tools. I go into quite a bit of detail on the assembly process simply because this is what folks were requesting. I received a number of emails saying that project videos tend to just gloss over the assembly process. So I decided to talk through it.
You also could use paint with iron particles in it, so you can hang you’re stuff with magnets. Or use school board paint, so you can use crayons to sketch. Or both, or… djeeez the options, the options…
Nice case BTW, gonna build my own!
great job
i really like this ! my wife watched this build as well and now she wants me to do the same idea for a tv stand simple ish and maybe i will do a test chest for my shop first !
what was the total cost? you only used one sheet of 5×5 at $45 ?
@jonnybo20 No I had to use two sheets. You can download the plan and a SketchUp drawing at our website. The SketchUp drawing also contains a basic cutting diagram as well.
Hypnotic as usual. Trance like state fully induced:-)
I really enjoy watching TheWoodWhisperer..
@dave97202 its a reference to the way Norm pronounces assembly in the New Yankee Workshop.
@dave97202 Watch some New Yankee Workshop and you will.
Could you do a video on getting things square?
i really enjoyed it , thanks
Greetings from the Netherlands ,Martin (;
Thanks for posting this series Mark, I’ve really enjoyed following this build.
Marc, More videos, more often, please.
@jdrury lol doing my best.
I didn’t know he retired!
@Mrcaffinebean yup. been a couple years now sadly.
really good job, but even better in how you communicated it to the viewer. You keep me interested and taught me something. Keep them coming! Finally someone addressed how to move through the design pitfalls…..great job!
I’ve found a 4′x8′ sheet of dry erase board at HomeDepot. A few years ago I ripped a sheet into small boards for my wife to use in her class room where she teaches. My thought is to use this on the outside of the door, maybe this at 1/4″ thick+1/2″ plywood to give it more thickness so things can be hung on the inside. This would give you a dry erase boards for doors so you could do calculations or anything else without the use of paper. Call it a “green” idea so we don’t use as much paper.
Great videos, I’m very tempted to try an adirondack chair, maybe more traditional than your greene and greene one though! Question: I keep my tools in my garage (basically my shop) and they are all rusting. If I kept some sort of desiccant in a tool cabinet do you think it would fix that? Or should I just get a stinkin’ dehumidifier?
@bradkrit I think a dessicant can help, but probably won’t completely prevent it. Protecting the tools with oil/wax is the first line of defense. Dehumidifying can certainly help too.
hey this video was uploaded on my b-day! i do believe i got some wood that day as well!
rofl
why dont you just use magnetic whiteboard matherial and laminate it to the inside of the door … you could then use magnets to fasten the papers and of course to write some memos
Just curious, but why did you epoxy the back panel before installing the center partition? Seems to me that installing the partition before the epoxy cures would allow you to make sure that the dados on both pieces aligned properly. Just a thought.
Mark, did I note correctly that you decided not to put a cleat on the bottom to keep the planes from sliding out on the lower edge? Any reason why not? It looks like a second magnet at the lower end would help as well, but might make removing the planes difficult.
Thanks for all the videos. You’re rekindled my interest in woodworking. Now if I could just find the time and money…
@balrogmb That is correct. No cleat. I didn’t think it was really necessary with the tight fit of the vertical dividers and the magnet. Turns out with magnet, the clip, and the weight of the planes alone, they are quite secure. After a couple years of using it, I can say it worked out well. Good luck with your woodworking!
