I moved all of my pen blanks to my covered shop porch and that left me with a big bare spot to fill. Her's where my blanks ended up...

THANKS for all the kind words guys! And NO...I didn't use all hand tools to make it:eek: I made the dovetails with a router jig.

I know it's a little too fancy for a shop but that's what I wanted, maybe it will give my visitors some ideas and help me sell them something similar.:biggrin:

By the way, it's made from Red Oak and the red stuff is Padauk. The drawers are Poplar.

I can already see that I'm gonna have trouble filling it up....WAIT...MORE TOOLS...YAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
 
I think they are beautiful and certainly not too fancy for a shop. Cabinets like those would make me feel good every time I looked at them. What's wrong with having some class in the place where you'd like to spend all your free time? My Dad took a class at Woodcraft in cabinet making. We put coasters on each of his two practice cabinets and made tool stations from them. I think they are beautiful too, although not nearly the quality or beauty of Rick's. If I could build cabinets like his, I would fill my shop with them. Thanks for posting the photos. Also, I like the finished pen showcase just below the planes.
 
Argh! I'm never going back in my shop after seeing this! Just kidding :wink:.

Workmanship, display...it all looks great Rick! Thanks for sharing! :biggrin:
