Alfred Chow - Maker of Things

These are the tool cabinets I have been making for the Community Workshop. Each one is about 1000 x 2000 x 200mm and used 4 sheets of 18mm plywood.
I built them as sealed boxes and then cut the door out, fitting the hinges as I went.

The right hand one has a narrower door as it needed to clear the work top and the electric/water intake. The deep recess behind the hinges will be used for sash cramp storage.
I still need to make the rest of the tool racks inside, and tidy them up.

They are mounted on the shipping container doors so that the doors can still open when needed and the tools access from outside.

I didn't help with this in the end, but added some stalks to some carved mushroom heads I'd made a while ago.

@Maker_of_Things That looks absolutely brilliant! Not to mention useful and neatly organised.

Thank you.

It is one of those quick and simple constructions that took four weeks to do as we're only there for 2 hours a week.
One week to glue up one cabinet, another week to cut it open, sand it, and hang it up.
Then repeat. 😄

@Maker_of_Things Very nice! The sort of thing that is used a lot, and gives a little bit of pleasure every time :)

Hopefully, it will mean we can stop using the old tool cabinet that I made from a mobile library book case. We can recycle the wood from that. It will also make the space more accessible and open for other groups who don't need access to our tools
