Tool Cabinet

By Matthew Kenney Oct 02, 2008

Over-the-top tool cabinet, my bench, and a work in progress

After my daughter’s crib, this was the first piece of furniture I ever built. It has my first dovetails and first verneer work. It’s walnut, ash, and maple burl veneer. The secondary wood is poplar. There’s also a lot of hide glue.

Has your tool cabinet been introduced to Anatole's entertainment center?

My cabinet isn't old enough to date yet.

Very nice! I would see it in my living room. I believe you dust if off after each woodworking session! Congratulations!
Best, Serge

Wonderful design and construction. I recently completed a tool cabinet. I wished mine looked as good as yours.
Great craftsmanship.

Damn Matt that is one very fine tool cabinet. One thing I can say is when you decided to do woodworking you really jumped right in.
