A Woodworkers Tool Chest - Inspired by the Studley Tool Chest - Full Video 

Well stated and 100% agree!!!

I fully agree! They should be happy for him and strive to do the same if they want it! He put so much time and money into this, I am proud of him. It sucks that you had your van broken into, that is a shame! I hope you were able to get the items replaced!

Thank you and I 1000% agree!!! I am going to try building something like that this summer for my mini tools but it won't be anywhere near the awesomeness of this chest! Hahah

SO TRUE!!! I watched this video over and over even in editing and kept finding new things!

He didn't design it with the intention of the viewer He designed it so his tools all fit and are easy to find That's why it's so intriguing to look at and easy to spot the tools It is a beautiful piece of art

He does!!! And he was an awesome person so that was a bonus :D I could have listened to him for hours!

Hahaha I should have added *from an undisclosed location* haha Thank you!

Hey Jim! Thank you for letting us stop by! That was an amazing experience!

100% agree!!

Thank you and hello!

Hahaha happy to help :D

Same! I wanted the story on every tool in there but I think Jim would have kicked me out at some point lol

Glad you like them! Thank you!

100%!!!

You are awesome lol thank you!

100% agree!!!!

I agree 100%! Thank you!!

You rock Chris!!! Thank you!

Thank you!!

I cut out a lot of it too hahahah

Thank you!!! I'm glad people are enjoying it! I really thought the short version would do better but it makes me happy that this one is!

Was yours made from a file also!? I want to make one now lol

@BatCaveCreations unfortunately no, it's a very old buck Brothers one. It's small size makes it super handy though

@jerryhoogeveen that is awesome tho! I never even saw a buck bros draw knife till my father gave me one right after that trip. If it's a small size, it's even more special. Keep it!

Gracias y hola!

It deff is! Colonial Himestead is the BEST store! If I was Ritch I'd buy the whole dang place bahaha

I was having the same struggle, my heart wants to say id tell them the price and then make an offer, my bank account wouldn't be able to pay the value, and then my head says, if they are selling an item they should have looked it up first. So why should i do the work for them and make myself pay more? hahaha I doubt it will ever happen but i will have that debate in my brain again if it does lol Thank you!!

I liked that part! It's like he wanted the focus on the tools not the woodwork! And I agree! Magnets changed the game hahha

I've a 1780s chest on chest. In mahogany. Last count, I've found 10 secret compartments. That would be an interesting addition. The other aspect of these displays is religious. Look up religious diptychs and triptychs. There's certainly a connection between these cabinets and that form of art. Some of the paintings were designed to be travelling pieces for a personal altar. So you had the doors, and it was only when you opened them up did you see the inner beauty. That's probably more relevant for the Studley, because of the masonic symbology.@@BatCaveCreations

The hammers at 9:00 were cool. I'd have to look at the saw till as well in more detail. @@BatCaveCreations

@@Nickle314 I have rewatched this video and the other one a few time to keep trying to take it all in. It's amazing!

@@BatCaveCreations I'd like to build one, or two. Other things I like. I like his multiple doors. The other one, there is a limited set of patterns you can apply. Screw drivers, chisels, follow the same pattern. Drill bits, its just a hole. Saws are another pattern, a lift from a saw till. Magnets mean you don't need the latches. There's a pattern to how the planes are handled. Or two - the horizontal or the vertical. Vertical will a push in and up, then down. It doesn't as far as I can see have the protrude from one side into a space on the other side. Holtzapffel is worth researching, they have similar set ups. Search for "Holtzapffel tool cabinet". Their Rose engines are interesting.

Haha yes it is! It's not on wheels I think he is gonna build a stand for it then fill that one! Imma try to get a video of it when he's done hahah

Hahahah that is halarious!

I felt bad, but i had exactly the same thought. I hope that he's done some serious planning to make sure everything finds the right hands

@@vedicapproach8105 is it bad that I wanna shoud ME ME ME PLEEEAAAASSSEEE!!!!! Hahaahah

It would be a shame to split the collection.

@@privatechannel8462 100% agree! I hope it ends up like the studly in a museum

Thank you!! And trust me I get it! Hahaah it's everyone dream to find a no 1 for that price. But now my goal is to find one for $9 just to say I beat Brian hahahah

@@BatCaveCreations haha I’m the same way! I’ll aim for $5.

Thank you!!!

@@BatCaveCreations My pleasure! I'm looking forward to seeing your other videos!

YES!!!! Jim was so excited about that (we were too!)! I had to include it in the video! Lol

Hahhaha I guess it was inevitable huh? Lol

Hahaha this made my day! Thank you! I needed that laugh!!

He uses them too! That made me happy to hear! I mean he prob doesn't use all of them, like the no 1, but these are his nicer users :D

@@BatCaveCreations That makes this really amazing! Thank you for sharing this!

That is a great question, I don't have an answer tho :( none of my tools are held by magnets right now

No it's Norwalk, OH. But! Are you going to Handworks in Amana, IA!?

@@BatCaveCreations I fully intend to! Being just 40ish minutes away.

Yes!!! Hope to see you there!

Dang! I've been there! I hope you find a deal like that again!

Haha no! I didn't learn that was a city till after I made the channel lol

Jim lives in OH

True he told me he took it to a show once and I was like "HOW???" Hahaha

Came here to say the same thing! Definitely a collector's chest and not a user's.

Just to make it clear: I don't wanna be disrespectful. I think he did an awesome job and is a great guy and a exelent craftsman. But as he is such, I am sure that he knows by himself, that it would be anojing to dig down to the second level every time he has to go for his most used plane. If you work with the tools they have to be accesable. A bit more space between the tools and a just the most frequent tools within armlengt is more usefull than all the tools closly paked. But this is not the topic here. I am just metioning it for potential beginners might think that this might be the ultimate setup for a workshop. IMHO it is not.

I didn't take this disrespectful at all! I understand what you are saying and your correct a beginner should not build this if it will be their main/user tool chest!

its called "the hammer" by Ron Baird and Dan Comerford

YES!!!!!!! Blew my mind! I'm pretty sure the bench chisels are unused. Still have the coating on them

I know he said oak but I didn't ask about the stain/finish :(

There is only one and I believe it is called "the hammer, the king of tools" by Ron Baird and Dan Comerford

Deff! I was the same way when I started. After yoube been in the craft a while you'll see that you start acquiring non user tools hahahah

Hahahahhaha fair!! And thank you!!!

It is
