I finally got a #7 and needed a place to keep it. My #5-1/2 fit into a drawer so I never needed large plane till until now.

Often these kind of tool cabinets are elaborate masterpieces made from treasured hardwood felled by one's grandfather; not this one, it's made from scrap plywood and gets the job done. I have two little ones that don't leave me much shop time right now.

The box is about 25" wide, 15" wide, and 10" deep. Piano hinge for the door with a rare earth magnet catch.

Drawer box dado corners with everything else being screwed on for future adjustability.

The till is simply leaned up against the back wall and screwed in place.

Nice box! Great organization. Love the big "R" written in the inside.

Thanks! I was pleased with how simple it was to hang the two saws.

I don’t understand. The door looks much wider than the box. It’s like a massive overbite.

I think that's just perspective, it's far closer to the camera

Don't worry it's the same size 😂
