I made this hand tools cabinet, with the tools that are in it. But I have to confess that I am not quite totally neandertal. I did use my thickness planer, jointer and bandsaw for resawing the front panels. Nevertheless It was a good hand tools practice to perform tasks like sliding dovetail, frame and panel, dovetails (through and blind), rabbet, draw bore mortise and tenon…

The four drawers are not completed yet and it looks like it is going to be a while until I have some time to complete them, as I have other duties calling.

I didn`t count the total hours spent on this project and maybe it is a good thing :o) But I guess that it is somewhere between 100 and 125 hours (including design).

The cabinet is made all of white pine and is left unfinnished for now. Very fun to build
