Some of you may have seen my shop that Marc featured a while back on TWW shop tours. I have oak tool boxes, two steel tool boxes in the wings of my table saw and a great parts cabinet from Grizzly, but I was missing hand tool storage on the walls.
I got my inspiration from Marc’s wall mounted tool boards, but decided that I wanted mine to be mobile so I could move it to my various work locations around the shop.
The “A” frame is made of 5/8 by 3 inch wide birch plywood and has four shelves of varying widths.
The front has a “current” 5 foot wide by 31 inch high tool board (1/2 inch thick) with seven French cleats that is meant for frequently used hand tools and tools that can be moved there for current projects (that’s the beauty of French cleats).
Underneath there is a 5 foot wide by 6 inch high shelf for frequently used hand power tools. At the bottom is a 5 foot wide by 2 foot deep shelf to store the myriad hand power tool boxes that we all collect.
On the back there is a 5 foot wide by 5 foot high tool board with 15 French cleats that is meant to store tools of one particular type. It can be quickly exchanged with another identically sized tool board for another type of project. For example, I intend to have tool boards for cabinet making, carving and furniture making, etc. I intend to install pulley systems from the roof to store the tool boards above my fixed power tools (I have a 12 foot ceiling). The cart has 4 four inch swivel wheels and one on each end has a brake.
