I completed a walnut cabinet to store some of my larger bench planes. Room for 2 each - No. 8, 7, 6, and 5. I also included storage in the doors for some AI chisels and mortise chisels and a few hand saws.
I rough dimensioned with power jointer and planer but used hand tools for final flattening, smoothing and all joinery. 29" high x 31" long (62 inches open doors).
I used some walnut ply that Russ Denz had for sale. Very nice stuff. Used some cherry ply for the main carcass rear panel.
Finished with Watco danish oil. Rare earth magnet stops. Waiting on some simple brass knobs for pulls.
It's great to get the longer planes in the wall cabinet and free up valuable space in the shop. :gar-Bi
