Craftsman Tool Display Cabinet
Glass-pane doors protect your prized tools from dust, and the Arts & Crafts details improves your shop’s style in this Craftsman Tool Display Cabinet.
The Craftsman style of furniture is one that’s stood the test of time. Even today, you can walk into a furniture store and find examples of this style. So why not bring some of that classic design into your shop? That was the idea behind this Craftsman-style tool cabinet. With beautiful quartersawn white oak, details such as the square plugs, and bold hardware, this tool cabinet not only proudly displays some of your most loved tools, but it also shows off your woodworking skills. Now, all of that isn’t to say that this cabinet can only be used in the shop. In fact, I know many people who would refuse to put a piece of furniture this nice in their dusty shop. I could easily see this cabinet hanging in a home office, entryway, or anywhere else you want to display your prized possessions. As I alluded to before, the construction of this cabinet uses some traditional joinery techniques. Digging into it, you’ll find dado case joinery, haunched mortise and tenons, and locking rabbets. All of these will help hone your woodworking skills. So, let’s pour a cup of coffee, step into the shop, and start surfacing some white oak as you begin working on your own tool cabinet.

Similar Woodsmith Plans
Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.
Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.
Premium Plans
All of the information that you need to build our plans can be found in the standard plan. However, if you want even more granular detail to make your job easier, you should consider our premium plans. These come with additional shop diagrams that we drew when creating the prototypes. Shop drawings are not available for every plan.
