I come back to this every now and again as well. seems I pick up something new every time!. great tool cabinet Rob, lots of very cool features

I find myself coming back to this video every few months, it’s probably the best and most functional hand tool cabinet I’ve ever seen. Definitely the biggest. Now it’s been over 3 years Rob, where’s the new cabinet built Rob? We’ve been waiting patiently Rob...

Can’t tell you how often I rewatch your videos. The inspire me and, frankly, make me happy to be a woodworker.

Great system, Rob. I love that your "prototype" is designed far more effectively than the entire of my shop storage!

awesomr cabinet..love the saw til and way the squares,marking guages are stored.cant wait tonsee the finished version

That is a well designed and thought out cabnit. Very functional, great style. Looking forward to seeing the final project with the contrasting woods. Thanks for sharing.

I really like the idea of the individual tilting saw tills & chisel trays. I may have to copy that.

Rob your work never ceases to amaze me!! Thank you for sharing your talent and all this great content with us. Keep it up!!

Phenomenal tool cabinet. The tilting saw till is what did it for me. All of your projects are very well thought out and very well designed. Thank you for sharing!

Definitely the best tool cabinet I've ever seen . Love the design and everything being in easy access

Hello, great video. My Father was a Shipwright for many years. He built and installed the cabinetry in the cabins of commercial fishing boats of all kinds. I only visited the job site once. The cabin of the boat was filled with plumb bobs and a water level. I never understood how skilled he really was in my youth. He would do the measurements in the boat which was supposed to be sitting as it would be while in the water. Then take the measurements and drawings of HOW someone wanted the finished cabinets to appear to the shop and build them…. Then go back and fit them to the haul of boat with the finish face looking plumb and square. Which they always did, amazing. I truly admire those like yourself that can create such incredible items using mostly hand tools.

Now that's a well thought out custom tool cabinet, very innovative!

Thanks for doing this video, Rob. I’ve been peering closely at this cabinet in many of your other videos to try to suss out the design elements... in fact, I’ve watched videos I wasn’t really that interested in (yet!) just to look at the cabinet. I’m quite a ways off from being able to build my own, but I will be buying the plans and DVD when they come out. Keep your content coming!

As always wow, certainly gives me something to shoot for, just getting into wood working personally and enjoying see what the masters put out to see what to learn.

Simply amazing! A great amount of ingenuity in this

Very cool tilting system for the saws!!

Glad to see a tool cabinet video that deals so well with the process of designing a cabinet tailored to individual needs. It's very timely for me as I have progressed from a tool wall, through French cleats and I'm now focusing on proper cabinets. This will be a video I go back to constantly for reference; so many excellent storage tips. Thanks very much, looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Thanks for sharing this Rob. This was helpful to understand not only the layout of your tools, but also your reasons for the design. Based on this video, I’ll be able to design one that’ll accommodate my tools. I am really enjoying watching your video which I’ve only discovered in the past couple of months.

'Spare Lie Nielsens' - it'll be a while before I get to that point. Amazing cabinet, equally impressive shop. I'd probably not be able to close my mouth if I'd ever tour it. Thanks for sharing.

Wow - out of interest what made you move away from LN and into WoodRiver? Anything against LN? other than the price?

Rob, I really appreciated the thought you put into your cabinet. I made one a couple of years ago for my old tool collection that is not as organized but you may get a kick out of looking at it. "shuster tool chest"

¡FELICITACIONES ROB COSMAN! -- Sí que valió la perseverancia y paciencia en lograr este hermoso proyecto. Es un excelente trabajo ------- Un abrazo cordial ----------------------------------------

That is a well thought out tool cabinet and a fun tour.

Truly an amazing prototype. HA! I feel like it'd take me 20 years to acquire enough tools to fill that thing and another 20 years to build it. But I guess that's why I'm the rookie at woodworking and you do it for a living. Great video.

Marvellous proportions of functionality and aesthetic appeal

Both beautiful and brilliant!

I am currently in the middle of making a practice chest out of cheap plywood with a plan to make the good one out of some type of nice hardwood. It is a combination of motivating and intimidating at the same time. thank you.

The prototype is pretty sweet, can't wait to see the real deal !

Wow, that’s a thing of beauty. Very nice cabinet.

Amazing collection of tools and chest!

Thanks for the tour of your tool cabinet! Not going to lie, I’m a bit envious. I have always wanted a cabinet like this. Great review, keep up the great work.

Very nice, I cant wait to see the finished product.

Great design!

Oh man, I loved this.

I agree with everything Jeff Burgess said. I would add I got more and more excited as you explained each part of the build. I'm not sure why you need a upgrade? Looks fantastic to me. I really enjoyed the video on the mobile cart as well. Thanks for sharing your talent and videos, Rodney

Wow, that is fantastic.

I can't wait to see the final masterpiece.

Well thought out simple but very effective use of space

I've seen this cabinet in multiple KZread channels, now I know where it comes from

Awesome cabinet

Beautiful Rob. I would probably never get past the protoype stage as all my tools are all functional. Very nice collection.

Great way to organize ones tools . Thanks!!

A wood-worker's idea of Heaven.

yep, those tilters are sweet!!! cool feature!!

Awesome Workshop , I love all your Machinery , you have both machinery and handtools.

We focus more on using hand tools and perfecting craftsmanship but sometimes, you just need power.

cool design inspiring. thanks.

Very nice. Love it!

Fantastic job! Very inspiring. Mind you I have nowhere near that many tools.

That‘s a great design

Great work!!!

It would be awesome if you offered/sold some sort of plans for this. I know much of that design is very personal, however this is a great starting point.

Great cabinet with some great ideas. The pullout vertical storage trays are nice. I think you end up with better use of space with those. Making them double sided can save some space and decrease the number of drawer slides you need. The "Tip Out" idea is nice as well. All around nice job. The only things with these "cabinets" is they are very personal to the person making/using them - I think that's why I like looking at them - so many creative answers to storage problems. Scott

Hey, that's pretty good. It's unbelievable that it's just a prototype.

I love when a master class cabinet build is the Cosman "template"

Superb tool chest Rob .

Looking nice Rob!

Gorgeous

HI Rob, I have always loved that design of your tool cabinet. Just wanted to mention and i dont know if you have ever used them but they do make over extension drawer slides and the Blum and KV brands seem to be the most solid in my opinion. Im not a big fan of them personally for regular drawer use because they tend to sag when all the way out but i think they would be perfect for that pullout for your files. great vid as always. Josh

.... wow. Just wow.

Great looking organized, I'm going to use some of your ideas in my shop plagiarism is the most sincere form of flattery 🙌

I can take the prototype if you ever need the extra space. Amazing work!

Just great cabinet 👏👏👏👏👏

Me encanta muy ordenado su taller saludos desde Perú

Very nice bench

I'm struggling with ideas for new tool cabinet as well. The only addition I would consider that I liked in my search was a roll top cover that goes sideways. The days that you are making lots of dust , you could close the doors . It adds a little to the width but that would be negligible considering the purpose of the door in the first place . Plus a fancy grain door would look awesome . Just a thought !

Stunning organization - any way we can get some more info on the tilting saw till? I'd love to see how that was constructed specifically. As always, thanks for all the info Rob.

Ill take the prototype when you build the official one.Just kidding Rob excellent cabinet.

I love the tool chest. The craftsmanship is top notch! And that's a prototype? I'd love to have the chance to try and build one, Since I'm new to wood working that's a taunting task. Any chance of giving the prototype away to a fan ?

I'm not sure I'll ever be happy again after watching that

Very nice 👍🏻

I like those hinged holders 🤔 Carving knives and gouges are the other option usually other than rasps. Or a foredom. I used to whittle the tenons for my hammer handles (I go to a lot of garage sales). Then a blacksmith friend told me to use a rasp - much, much quicker, and you don’t have to worry about wild grain as much. Although that said, I do see people turn to a rasp sometimes when a knife would be far safer and more efficient, not to mention a fraction of the price. Many woodworkers sadly don’t know much about whittling, which involves two hands unless you’re peeling bark or really hogging off soft wood.

HOLY CRAP! I am not a "hand tool" type person (yet) but damn that's a hell of a collection. And the whole cabinet layout is well thought out. It's amazing how your able to get so much in such a small space. Nicely done

Thank you, was a lot of fun.

Really great tool cabinet. Mine is still in my head, been there for years, and it keeps changing. The kids are gone and I'm finally slowing down so, God willing, I'll have time to make one. Gonna make a real bench first and like the tool cab it keeps changing, and I think it'll be eclectic with a lot of classic details but built around my needs. It'll replace the one I'm using now that I made for temporary purposes 30 years ago. I don't want to walk to find a tool anymore, just pivot. Ever explore Japanese joinery?

Great video rob. Could you make a video on how to sharpen cabinet (card) scrapers please.

That is really cool! Can't wait to see what the new one. Will you be videoing the building of the new one?

Prototype?!?!!Seriously?????This is already a work of art!

I really like the layout and element of display in this unit. Looks very practical. Beautiful tools too. I'm surprised you don't use the hand made planes. If I was making them I would hate to have them just end up dust collectors. All that time and skill to make great tools wasted?

I take exception to the word 'junk' drawer. There is no such thing as junk in a woodworking shop. I like to think of it as stuff I'm not using at the time. And I've got lots of that...valuable stuff

Hello Rob...Great project and process...! What I saw: If you raise the upper part a couple of inches, the shelf can become a little deeper, and will not interfere as much, in daily use, with the lowest row of drawers. To me, it looks like you can afford it heightwise... Also, I suggest raising the whole unit two inches. Greetings from Denmark...Jakob.

It is not your height, but what you do with it, that defines you...! "ToteKick"...! Ideally, the shelf is empty... an in between place. When you pick a plane, you can put it down, on its side, to grab other stuff. A small Tote, or a small Tray, for screws, several small tools, for chisels, or for measuring devices, can stand on the shelf, preparing for carriage and carriage return. More spring greetings from Denmark...Jakob.

Prototype.....is perfection ever reached?

Has the final product been started? Would love to see that!

Love this tool cabinet. On your vertical pull outs Are the drawer slides embedded? Is there a video explaining the process? Thank you very much I really enjoy your channel

I would like to see a video on using rasps...

Do you sell the idea of this cabinet? I really like it and would love to build it. I build cabinets and love your work. I'm wanting to get into your dovetail work and other things you do. but was wondering if there was a way for me to get your plans on the cabinets... thanks now. you do amazing work.

Этого богатства хватит на несколько поколений,👍🙏🇹🇷

Great tool cabinet Rob. One question, are you planning on producing plans for building the tool cabinet that can be purchased on your web site?

Hey Rob, I almost feel like calling you Mr. Cosman out of respect for the wonderful work you are showing everyone and your outstanding abilities. I wanted to ask you about your tool cabinet, the pullouts you have on the left for your screwdrivers and rasp...did you do the dovetails different to show your work? do you have the pinboards on top? your angeled cabinet boards seem to have the pinboard on the sides( fronts) as you pull the drawer out.. could you clear that up for me? Thanks again for your very enjoyable and informative vids.. Doug from Germany.

Hi Rob, great videos. The largest of your engineer's squares (which you also showed on the shooting board video) where did you buy that from? Thanks

Birds-eye maple and mahogany workbench! Do you have to build extensions periodically for the new new tools you buy?

where can I see how those tilting holders work? Brilliant idea for storing squares.

Rob, I'm making my own (smaller) tool cabinet and wanted to use magnets to hold my chisels too - How do you find the strong magnets affect your chisels? I've heard people say they transfer a little magnetism which is annoying when honing as the bits of steel you are abrading stick to the tip preventing a decent mirror polish?

Hello Rob great video. I am not sure if you already made a video with some of the questions I a m about to ask but if so could you direct me. So what would be a good way to find a mentor and what to expect? Any methods on how to gain a tool collection bc well lets face it just one of those lie neilson planes is kick in the....? But thanks keep up the good work

Very good design and looks like prototype works well. How long did it take to make?

2019...have you completed it yet?

Awesome cabinet. Did you ever build your new cabinet?

A suggestion: use narrow shelves for as many things as you can. It is very hard to beat a shelf to store things. Items are easy to grab from a shelf, and as easy to put back. Not to mention that a shelf is very easy to make. I'd be happy to show you a bunch of other storage methods as well. In exchange for some lessons from you.

What hinge did you use for that door to open that far?

Hey Ron I got a question that pertains to safety. When using the lathe, and a face plate that you bolt / screw into the wood. What is the best type of screws for something like that to use?

Where do you get your lumber from? Like the mahogany and birds eye maple?

Great viedos love your tools are you going to make a pdf to biwnload your wook bench. Would love a list of your saws and plane selection. If you could only have a couple planes and your dovetail saws which would they be for u DIY guys on a budget

Workbench is in video format now, also on demand. Plans are available in 3d. These are for sale on our site. Top tool purchases: stones, 1k, 6k, 16k and a lapping plate to keep the stones flat. Next is a #5 1/2 or #6 plane, a low angle block and a medium (3/4”) shoulder plane. Dovetail saw and three chisels, 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4. Marking tools are a must have as well.
