Heirloom Tool Cabinet
With solid frame and panel construction, this heirloom tool cabinet will be a welcome addition to any workshop.
It’s hard to put a finger on what I like best about this tool cabinet. Certainly, the first thing you notice is the striking color and grain of the Douglas fir. I could also point to the huge amount of storage provided by all the shelves and drawers. Or maybe it’s the heavy-duty stand that keeps the tools within easy reach. On the other hand, perhaps the way all these features come together is what makes it such a standout project. One thing is certain. You’re sure to enjoy building it. In spite of the cabinet’s size, you’ll find it breaks down into three, easily managed sections — case, stand, and a drawer box to go inside the case.

Similar Woodsmith Plans
Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.
Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.
Premium Plans
All of the information that you need to build our plans can be found in the standard plan. However, if you want even more granular detail to make your job easier, you should consider our premium plans. These come with additional shop diagrams that we drew when creating the prototypes. Shop drawings are not available for every plan.
