Nice work! I like the attention to detail, the laminated tool holders, and the beveled interior panels. I think I probably would have made the dovetails on the side pieces with the tails on the sides, rather than the top and bottom, though.
Why do you call it a "Christian" tool cabinet? Just curious. Is it because of the cross that the door frames make? Also, are the panels walnut?

Ya, Bob-
You can't get off that light. Please describe the woods you used and the finish you put on them. I can figure the function of some of the holders, but I'm with Dom and would like to see your tools in place as an illustration. I am particularly curious about the last picture. I'm guessing that it is a small saw till, but why hung from a french cleat? What fills the space behind it? What hangs off the screw? You got some splanin' to do, boy.
A nicely done cabinet and I hope to lift a few details for my own.

Very nice indeed!

Thanks for all the kind words. I will try to answer a few questions here and post more images.
No laminated tool holders. I used 1/8inch square maple and walnut strips to do some "inlay" with my LV small plow plane.
the walnut panels are not exactly book batched, but they did all come from the same board. they look very similar.
Casework dovetails - about the tail/pin orientation. I found some pictures of the Studley tool cabinet and I made my dovetails in the same orientation as his. It didn't seem quite right to me either, but I figure if it worked for him it was good enough for me.
"Christian" tool cabinet is because of the doors. I thought I designed an original piece until I was looking through some pictures of shaker furniture and they did something similar that is called "Christian Doors". The way that the walnut panel grain radiates from the center is original, I think (but probably not a first).
