Plane Cabinet
When I did my workbench I enclosed a shelf for most utilized planes. The shelf became full rapidly and several planes had not a dedicate place. The solution was building a new cabinet for hand planes, a good way for keeping them in order and ready to use.
I used the frame and panel technique, with panels inserted in grooves cut in the frame inner edge.

| the cabinet is anchored to the wall for avoid its tipping |
The smaller planes are on a mobile shelf; this rotates, permitting the access to the back.

| Long planes are available after the shelf is tilted forward |
By utilizing recycled wood, well have to accept some defects it will show, if we want to avoid of discarding too much wood.
In this case the wood was varnished and exposed to sun (windows) during some decades; this caused tone differences you can see mainly in lateral panels.However this is a shop cabinet and I think some defect is acceptable.
The building details are shown in the video in the previous post.
