I applaud your effort! It is an interesting project to undertake:

Did you lay out your items and then size the case or built it and see how much you can fit?

I had a finite amount of space I could use, based on how much room the footprint could take up...how far the doors would be allowed to swing open,,,and how high I wanted to reach to get a tool down from.

Wanted it deep enough so things would not go banging against each other, when I shut the door. Also wanted to store items IN the doors.

Still have a tool cabinet to build, to house the shop's hand planes....besides the Stanleys in this cabinet..
