As a leather craftsman I find that having a large work surface free of tools lying about helps immensely. But at the same time there are so many special tools being used it's difficult to keep your workspace clear. Great build! And I hope you do more leather related videos

Right!!! I have multiple tool boxes for the different tools, sewing, sharps, mallets... ect have to put everything back in its place everytime. This would be nice to have. Drafting one up right now.

Super proud to see the Maker Knife in it! 🥰

I did. Realized that I had seen these pictures on the cover of a Woodworking catalog years ago.

As a novice/amateur leatherworker, I got really excited upon seeing this. Personally the only thing I would add would be a latch on the front - I'm a clutz and know I'd be knocking that over at least once.

"Because....I find it very relaxing." Truer words have never been spoken. Good to see you smile. Thank you for inspiring a childhood me to make 'stuff'.

...as someone who works just leather for a living... I'm downright jealous. Both on the sheer number of tools and the organizer.

Adam, thank you so much for this build design. I myself am a leathworker and I travel constantly between medieval, pirate, and convention events. I've needed something like this. Now to find someone who can build this for me

Oh My God!! The studies tool bad just hit every pleasure center in my mind. It’s so beautiful I wanted to cry

Maker Knife top left! Beautiful.

I found the Studly tool box when i was in high school. In the liabrary That was 40 years ago. I checked that book out SO many time. He was the step beyond craftsman, he was a artist. I now have a picture of it hanging.

I definitely need one of these dedicated toolboxes. My leatherworking gear is jammed into two (well maybe more) drawers. Thank you Adam for showing and telling us about it. Inspired me ( much!)

the studley tool box is a feast for the eyes everytime you look it's got more tools you didn't see before packed neatly.

I can only dream to ever see Adam's workshop or have a workshop similar, It amazes me with all the organisation with a place for everything.

Thank you for another great organisational video, they are great and really inspiring. Also, it's great to have a showcase of something that you made off camera. Something that you could just throw yourself into without worrying about shots or other people in the shop - just you working in the zone. Thank you again Adam, looking forward to more specific skill set collections

Adam, thank you so much for giving the Studley tool chest reference. What a thing of beauty it is, as an architect I love when things prove the adage that firm follows function and this is an example that I can use to inspire and guide those embarking into my profession or other design disciplines. I have always believed that knowing how much crafts and trades persons can teach designers through their work is vital in understanding the processes in designing functional objects that draw their beauty from that function. The images of this tool chest now sit in my mind alongside such diverse references as the courtyard gardens of Kyoto to a Spitfire fighter as expressions of a functional form being elevated to an expression of beauty. The one downside is that isn't not helping my insomnia as I'm now thinking busily and have been since I watched your video at 4.15am (UK timezone) and am trying very hard not to head to either my shed or model making work shop for an organisation spree, and no doubt annoyed neighborhood from early morning clattering from my property.

Adam, as a profession I'm a Continuous Improvement manager at a Yogurt manufacturing facility. We focus largely on machine operation and efficiency. As a result, a large portion of my job consists of 5s projects (sort, set, shine, standardize & sustain). When you said "everything has a place and everything in its place" made me so happy because that is the 5s motto I live by! It has expanded from my work into my home life! It's addicting and as you said very relaxing and pleasing to look at! This box is beautiful and very inspiring! I'm going to show this video to my entire CI team for inspiration! Thanks!

Cool tool box! Adam, thank you for idea!

The studly toolbox is amazing! Love that new toolbox for leather working. Got me thinking about building my own.

Awesome job on the box Adam. Very elegant solution for those tools. I love it. Thank you as well for making me google the Studley tool box. What an amazing object. I can't believe how many tools he managed to fit in that thing. It blew me away.

The bit about building the box whole, then cutting it down: I actually laughed aloud and said "OH THAT'S BRILLIANT!"

Learned that trick in middle school wood shop. It's amazing. If you put a dato grove on the inside before you assemble. When you make the outside cut the lid will slide over that lip. Think small jewelry boxes. That step wasn't necessary for his project but it's a sweet trick, tight seams. Have fun!

Well done! I built one similar to that years ago and love it. Same technique. Build a box, cut it in half.

That Studley toolbox is amazing - thanks for the heads-up!

I’m a metal sculpture artist and have a great variety of tools ,, seems like on my daily do list is put it back up AGAIN. I get so frustrated at not finding what I know I have. Thanks for the organizing tips. Every few years I do a complete shop reset it’s amazing of what I find. “This time I will do better “ syndrome.

You'll never do better as long as you put form before function. Form needs to follow function. Art is worthless.

Beautiful leather working station toolbox. I definitely Would be leaving it out to admire for a very extended period!

The Studley tool chest was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this as well. I've been in awe of the Studley tool chest for years, and have thought about making a replica of it at some point. Your leatherworking kit turned out great! More like this please!

Never knew what the studley toolbox was. Now that I know I can't stop looking at image of it. Its gorgeous and an absolute wonder!

Adam thank you, you answered a question that I asked you without even responding to it. I have figured out that I am a maker. With this video you explained how you made you Leather working tool box i to made a box and storage unit for my vehicle using the same method that you did. I also love working with leather be it for making EDC carry for my belt. Adam thank you for your wisdom.

Thanks for the heads up on the Studley Toolbox. Definitely a good example of pure inspiration.

Looks great. My leather working stuff is just crammed into an old tackle box. This box reminds me of my grandfather's saw cabinet that I have out in my shop / garage.

Sweet! I currently use a ton of tool boxes for my leather tools, stacked neatly in a ikea 5' tall shuddered book shelf. It works for now but that is amazing. As you stated you like to have your tools in front of you on the bench but not take up too much real-estate... same here. I think I need to make one now. 🤔 🤘😎🤘👏👏👏

I have my wood working tool box from when i was a kid 30 odd years back in this form factor. Thinking about it now it allowed easier movement/carrying.

Thank you! thank you! Had to find this video again because normal wiki searches and google searches didn't turn up Henry Studley, nor his box.

Really good idea on the punch block storage a very neat tool cabinet and love the rotation.

Holy Snockers! I looked up the Studley Toolbox and you are indeed correct! It is a thing of absolute beauty!

You should be very proud of that beautiful build Adam. I love it. I hope you will some day show us how you did it.

Thanks for enlightening me to the Studley toolbox. WOW! I love my tools, they take up one large upper box and three lower roller boxes plus one 3 drawer flip top roller cart but nothing compares to the Studley!

you can see that he loves what he's doing, he'd be doing this even without the cameras, that's awesome

I want a Studley. So beautiful. Thank you Adam, I never knew about Henry O. Studley

Luv your tool shop golden rules adam!!!! 1. Drawer is where things go die 2. Horizontal surfaces will soon be covered! Gold and Gold Done

WOW! I did Google the H.O. Studley tool box. And spent The last 2 hours looking at youtube videos of the darn thing. Absolutely amazing!

Love the thought behind this design! Well done! I must implement these into my workspace

Pictures of the Studley Toolbox reminds me of those old kids books of spot-the-thing in a densely packed picture of stuff in an attic, bench, or the like. I loved those books

Great tool box. I just got a cheap hand cranked leather sewing machine, and my sweetie said "oh, did you get that idea from Adam Savage?" I said, "oddly enough, no." So clearly it is something we think you should have (if you don't already). They are made in China, cost between $100-$200, will sew through 3/8" of hard leather, require quite a bit of work (including some machining) to perfect, and can be kitted out with motors and everything else. Often called shoe or boot patchers.

So understand your vertical surface issues. I have and continue as well!

Please do more Studley inspired tool boxes. Love the leather working tool box and would love to see other tool boxes revised and made into something so nice. Really enjoy the shop infrastructure videos.

I just bought 172dm2 leather for the first time in my life today. And when I got home, this video was uploaded only a few minutes ago. Great timing Adam! :)

Adam, love the project (and now have total leather-tool envy!), but especially appreciate the tip on the Studley Toolbox! What an amazing piece… Thank you!

Hi Adam , I'm almost finished with my studio im my backyard. Love your cabinet. And work shop. I would love to be able to come play in it. But you gave me a great idea for my old army trunk. Thanks so much!

Fantastic! I watch your videos and I'm a leather worker. This video is the mother ship. Dyes and finishes decimate my real estate

I have always been amazed at those studley tool boxes. Now I know their NAME!! Ty

This is awesome! So inspiring... Totally making boxes and shelves this weekend!!

That Studly tool box is ridiculous. I really like what you did with this one.

Love this! And, it’s totally reminiscent of the chemistry sets from back in the day! 😁👍

Beautiful tool box

Well laid out Adam well done!!

That's a helluva tool chest! Studley's, too!

Thanks for informing me on the Studley tool chest! Wow!

Beautiful! I want one!

The Studley Tool box has inspired my imagination for years! It was actually the first thing I thought of when I saw your thumbnail!

That's really cool Adam!!

One of the first jobs I had was working in the leather industry in Walsall in the Black Country UK, and a lot of the tool's I collected were over a hundred years old.

I wish I could of see the build of it. The one day builds where you build things to help you in the shop are my favourite

Very Cool !!!!!!!!!! Adam. That looks fantastic an well thought out Sir

I checked the Studley toolbox out, what an amazing piece of craftsmanship.

Please do more tool and shop organizing content, you're a master

Adam's always on point 👍

The Studley Toolbox was the first thing I thought when I saw this. Beautiful work, sir

Well, the first thing I thought of was the Studley when you swung it open. As always you hit the nail on the head!

Wow, I had forgotten about my childhood chemistry set. Thanks, Adam!

It's so beautiful!

I'm so jealous of this toolbox!!!

I still remember seeing you and Jamie on tour in Virginia at ODU, huge fan!!!!

6:35 Paused to google Studley Toolbox. Was not disappointed but was overwhelmed.

Thanks for sharing the great build.

A one day build of the Savage Tool Box (you know you want to call it that Adam) would not have been that interesting, but I am very glad there is a video of the finished product. Truly a masterpiece of organization and beauty!

Inspiring as always. Thank you Adam.

I have loved and admired the Studley toolbox for years. I just disn't know what it was called until now! Thanks Adam!

I had not realized that making a box and THEN cutting it was uncommon. I watched a couple one day builds where you used this technique. The one that comes to mind is your custom hat box. I have and probably always will build my boxes like this

I wish you had made this an actual One Day Build video. I love watching your process.

hey Adam, over the years your cases you have featured in your videos have been my covet , if i ever get my shop set up it'll have so many modular case units lol. thanks for sharing them over the years. might i suggest adding a french cleat on the back of the leather box or any other "studly style" ones so you'll have the option to hang the case up if the need should arise

LOL... I knew that was coming. Very nice Adam! Now I am trying to figure out how to minimize all my horizontal spaces. You're certainly correct they are very irritating! Thanks for the great tips!

Kind of a neat cabinet a unique twist on storing leather tools for sure.

Adam, please consider doing a feature length in depth review of the Studley toolbox. Just enough history to identify Studley and what he did for a living but mostly just revel in Every tool has a place and a place for every tool. Possibly the greatest functional piece of art to ever come from the hands of a Master Maker.

Love the shop organization videos! Just wish we could get them as one day builds...

This kind of video gave me an idea. You build something in order to store your tools. You should make a series of video where you chose a tool that you didn't used in a very long time and make something with it! So now that your tools are properly stored, you can now use them!

Been waiting for this ever since i saw in on Instagram! As a leather maker myself, I absolutely love this!

Fantastic toolbox, my grandfather made 2 of them very similar to hang on the wall in his basement. He painted his green. And yes I know what a chemistry set is. We had got one, then my dad took all of the "fun" stuff out.

This is the most craftsmen thing ever and I love it
