Plans for wall hanging cabinet
#15
Arlin, I thought about building an enclosed tool cabinet, but I figured I'd out grow it. Over the years, as my collection of had planes increased, I built several storage facilities for them. None of them is enclosed, so my planes are easily accessible and easy to put back when I'm done using them. I did what Barry suggested: I laid them out and built storage facilities around them to fit the wall space I had. Here is most of my plane storage, My block places and other similar ones are on an open shelf to the left of this rack:

Similarly, I built a simple 3-piece rack (till) for my hand saws. My long saws are supported by a dowel on the lower piece and the blades are separated from each other bu a slotted upper piece. My short joinery and Japanese saws hang from slots in a board mounted to the wall just below my long saws. it's very simple, easy to build ant keeps my saws organized within easy reach of my workbench.

This is probably not what you asked for, but maybe it will give you some ideas.

My o my that cabinet looks nice and some of those planes and scrappers look fantastic.
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

You are right it was not what I was asking for but this makes more sense.  I am now thinking of what someone did here of the dovetail board wall so I can hang what ever I wish or change it up.  Thanks 
My wall part is about 3'x3' above the table I have.

After seeing what Paul is going to make this has me convinced to do the same.
