I finally more or less finished the plane cabinet I started a couple of weeks ago at the start of Christmas break. I had originally planned to make it from solid lumber, but the weather didn't cooperate and I wasn't able to get out, so I used some teak plywood and solid stock material from a couple of previous projects. The hardest part was getting the planes the way I wanted them, all vertical. It took about four days of messing around and false starts, but once it started working it all fell in place. Each other section took a day or so. The biggest problem was getting everything I wanted into a particular section and still getting the doors to close. Since I wanted to have all my user bench planes in one place it ended up being bigger than I initially planned, but at least most of the stuff is all in one place adjacent to the work bench.
Thanks for looking.
