I changed the handles somewhere along the way and I don't remember where I got them.

BTW, where did you get the door pulls? Great design (I say that partly because yours is strikingly similar to the one I built 25 years ago).

BTW, where did you get the door pulls?

Ralph, Some of the grippy stuff is just grippy, not a corrosion inhibitor, but look for the Zerust product - it contains the corrosion inhibitor. It lasts five years. Rob Chris,

Ralph,

I'm going to Lowes after work to get some of it. I also like the plastic divider you used on the rasp drawer. ralph I did not know that the grippy stuff was also a rust inhibitor.

Carl, A smaller version might do well on as a wall-hung unit, but I think a cabinet this big should be free-standing. Really it's only the jointer that is less accessible. For my purposes, it wouldn't be worth a redesign. This cabinet has become like an old pair of jeans, so comfortable as to dismiss thoughts of something better. I guess if I was starting over, yea, a couple of inches more depth would be nice. And when that was built, I'd probably say, gee, a little bigger would be better still. I'd probably waste time with fancier joints and nicer plywood. But really, a cabinet this size puts some limitations on my tool appetite, which is a good thing, just like those old jeans do! You guys are experienced woodworkers, so all I'm doing here is showing one guy's approach to which can be added your personal touches. Thanks for reading, Rob Ralph,

I've been contemplating a similar cabinet for a while and your insights are really helpful. Mine will hang on the wall to the right of my bench. Did you give thought to storing your longer planes upright and next to each other? Having longer planes behind others would be a bother. I'd love to hear what you'd change if you started over. I know you said you'd make it deeper, but is that it? Thanks much! Thanks very much for the cabinet description.
