Thread: Tool hutch from Shop Scrap

Hey Lou, nice little hutch!.

I note that your plane collection is expanding

One of these days I'd like to attempt to make a tool cabinet like the Studley one. It used to be something of a right of passage for apprentices and would-be journeymen.

Great job Lou looks good

Nice job Lou, are you making space for a rather large new addition?

Lou,
I do like the Kreg pocket hole jig you have. I do use mine much more than most of us would admit to using such rudimentary joining techniques.
Regards
Les
Ps. Good to see one putting some scrap ply to good use. Must post some of my pics at some stage.

hey Lou

Not bad for 1/2 hours work..though there is nothing wrong with making stuff from shop scraps..my best work so far is from scraps . I made my tool box wall thingy from scraps from the demolished old shed that used to stand on the site of my new shed.

cheers Paul


P.S. nice plane collection

Now if you had spent an hour on the job you may have wound up with something like this!

Lou

Would you stop pizzing around with this kindergarten stuff and finish your bench!

Please?

That's just stunning - did it come out of a book or is it yours?

I'm in awe.

Cheers

I am also in awe................. I wish that I was capable of that quality of workmanship............... Its something I have picked up from the web....... Can't remember exactly where i got it.........

One of the mags has a downloadable desktop of that tool chest.

As for it's name, Auld told you.


I too would like to have something like that to pass down to the little fella sleeping in the next room.

Seeing as he is only 5 months old now, and I should have another 30-60 years ahead of me, it should be doable at least.

One small difference.

I plan to make everything inside the the chest too, and maybe try and dwarf that chest in the process.

It's a way to use time without peeing it up against a wall.

If you want to read about it or download it as an inspirational wallpaper, I think this is the right address at Fine Woodworking: http://www.taunton.com/finewoodworki....aspx?id=27038

I think Lou can move his hutch alone, whereas the other took a lifetime to make and three very strong fellows to move.
