>I recently finished (it will never be truly finished, but I started putting my tools in it...) a standing tool cabinet. Most of my ideas came from Ted Owens'cabinet, and Bob Key's hanging cabinet. I used hand tools for all the construction except for the panel grooves. I don't have a combination or plow plane yet, so I had to use a r**ter. I finished it with shellac and wax. You can see that I have left plenty of room for future tool acquisitions.

>Visitors to my shop often gravitate to the cabinet first and have lots of questions. Perhaps yours will help bring more into the woodworkers fold, too.
>I can't tell you how long I studied yours!!! Eventually I am going to build a small chest of drawers to go into the base. I'll probably wait until I have something to actually put in them.
Thanks for the inspiration -- Woodcentral has really helped me move up from my beginning stages.
Now my wife might actually let me build something that will go in the house!!!!
>I can't tell from the photo, Andy, whether your base has stringers. Mine does, and I'm guessing yours does, too. I just set a couple things underneath and a couple on the stringers. Utilizes the space with no need for a small cabinet in the base.
