Absolutely. Where possible it's the best way. A chest can be the best solution. I find that if I'm working out of a chest it reminds me of living out of a suitcase Vs a wardrobe.
On the subject of recycled timber, I also like to use timber that was going to the scrap heap. In January I made a shaker style wall clock from an old hardwood front door. (Though there is surprisingly little usable timber in a door as it turns out - dowel holes everywhere, and the type of timber turned not out to be ideal!). Anyhow I was pleased with the finished article. This was inspired by a book you recommended on your channel last year. Thanks for the tip.
That's great Richard. I share the frustration with reclaiming wood. A door looks like it would have lots of great timber but joints, doweled or otherwise reduce the yield.
@@faceedgewoodworking not to mention mortise locks, letterboxes and the like. Still, I can’t complain, it was free and only took a few hearty knocks with a mallet to dismantle. Resawing and thicknessing was quite straightforward too. All good fun.
Very nice cabinet. Loads of room for tools. I hope you have strong walls in your workshop, this looks heavy even before it is filled. Excellent use of timber that was going to be burned too.
year and a half ? haha Looks great though !! Your friends was going to burn some chestnut ? Ouch, that's a sin over here in Canada... we can't buy it anymore :/
Love the spalting in the Beech. The Green frame looks great too. 👍
Thank you! Even though I'm just using up material I am trying to do it carefully. Cheers!
@@faceedgewoodworking I get that
Looking good.
Thanks Gary 👍
Tool cabinet over a box 👍

Thanks Bernie!

Hi Richard. Good strong stud to fix into. However, some gallows brackets might be a nice touch for a belt and braces approach.
That is beautiful. Not a huge fan of the green but thats just personal preference of color.
Cheers! Thanks for the honesty 👍
This'll serve its purpose nicely, with just enough flash.
Thanks Erhard. That's the plan. I don't want it to be massively over the top, just a bit of a celebration of storage.
Nice job
Thanks Steve
Looking good. Now git 'er done.
Thanks' Paul. We'll check on it in a year's time.
Awesome awesome

Planks of Beech and Chestnut 🔥! We're lucky, Chestnut isn't difficult to get hold of here but it would have been a waste.
