Multitool/Pocket Knife Display and Storage Cabinet
on: July 26, 2019, 09:20:14 PM
Hello Everyone,
I recently decided to upgrade my multitool storage from plastic Plano boxes to something a little nicer and I thought I'd share the end result with you all.  Here is the finished product, Pine, Oak Plywood, and Walnut trim. I designed and built the cabinet from start to finish.  It has space enough to hold 54 tools and the spaces for each tool vary from 1.5 inches wide to 2 inches wide.  There is also a drawer for storing fixed blade knifes, sharpening systems, strops, hones, sheaths etc.  Lastly it can free stand on a table or can be mounted on a wall via a french cleat in the back.  Total build time, Approximately 2 weeks after work and on weekends. I have sketchup files for the design if anyone is intersted in building one for themselves.

That look really nice! I used to have a display shelf that had some parts made of wood. Rather cheapish parts used. I am guessing its not properly treated or something cos the metal parts that was in direct contact with the wood started to rust. Strange problem I know.. But something to think about.
Merit Badges Must post a step by step pictorial of a knife or MT Mod, done by you that includes changing the main chassis of the tool in a significant way. By machining, welding or cutting original design to accept new tool loads. Requests will be reviewed.

Yeah, that was definitely the biggest design flaw on my part. Next time I'll go for a floor standing cabinet and really add some space.  ;)
