Probably one of the very best Dutch Tool Chest tours - a place for EVERYTHING and everything in its place. There is hardly any space that doesn't have a tool or two fitted one precisely fitted on top of the other. This is simply awe inspiring. I've been back several times to revisit your precision craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing.
The tool chest is great. From a video standpoint, I liked the angles, pace, and descriptions--very well made! I'm recuperating from an injury, and this made me feel like I was in the workshop rather than stuck in bed. Only thing missing is the smell of freshly cut wood. Thanks for making this.
John Montgomery standard practice. Before the pozidrive straight slot screws were always aligned to the piece screwed on. As here horizontal, which is the lie of the handle and in the likes of door hinges vertical, following the door height. On door hinges the alignment also served to prevent paint gathering in the slot, (as it would if horizontal) as well as looking neat.
I really enjoyed the chest tour, especially how you made use of earth magnets. I have used them a lot in my tool chest (Shuster tool chest). Thanks for explaining how you attached everything.
Awesome work! thanks for the inspiration! Hey just a thought for the ruler & straight edge... if you cut in little "finger recess/ pocket" into the lid, etc. behind where they sit it may make it easier to get your finger behind the ruler & straightedge to pull them off the magnets.
Incredible! Maybe should relabel this video “extremely magnetic OCD tool chest”. Not sure if the magnetic field repels sawdust somehow. Either way, very impressive. Thanks for the great video!
hahaha, actually I perceived a little amount of dust over the awl holder behind the chest just in the beginning of footage and remember wondering "well, on the editing session this man must have thought a hundred times in remake the film from zero just to match the high-end NASA standard of his workshop". Well, that is a thing a man like me suffering WOD (workshop obsessive desorder) would think. by the way, this chest is a unique masterpiece! Greetings from Brazil
fantastic mix of practicality and beauty. I was surprised by the use of the magnetic holsters on the exterior, but the more I think about it the more sense it makes. It seems like a mix of a modern "kai-zen" approach (the tools have their places, and if you use those exterior ones frequently and they're visible, it's even more easily grabbable) and a time proven dutch classic box. I am going to experiment with a set of trays that go into a box, and when I work, I will leave the trays out somewhere visible. If I don't have enough space in my shop, then the outside of a tool box would be a great place for a lot of magnetic catches. I do plan to take a toolbox out and about sometimes with me, so I'll not end up with exactly what you've got, but I loved your tour and its given me lots of nice ideas. I'm stealing the rare earth magnet thing. I'm gonna go nuts with those. thank you!
I was stoked to attend two of his workshops. For the first four days we built the Roorkee Chair, then two days to build the primary parts of the Chest. I was saddened that later that year he decided to stop giving workshops :-(
Warp - for you tray idea, what about building a box where the trays slide out in different directions? For instance, two on the front, two to the left, two to the right. they could be still "at the box," but visible. I've got a picture in my head. May need to spend some quality time w/sketch up..... hmmmmmm
that is quite the collection of rare earth magnets u got there..haha!;) j.k. one hell of a tool collection and box. man that thing must weigh A LOT! and be worth ALOT.Thanks for the tool box tour got some cool ideas..super organized.AWESOME job bro!
Marty Backe ALWAYS Bro!! i use them a lot for holding planes and rulers in my tool cabinet also. they do work VERYwell.can't go wrong with them especially considering what they're holding. and yeah I wouldn't want to lift that tool chest either.. unless I want a herniated disk. lol
Initially the Dutch Tool Chest turned me off because it seemed like a jumbled mess of tools in most people's boxes. Yours is without a doubt the nicest DTC I've seen and probably one of the nicest in general. Thank you for sharing. 've watched it probably 5 times over the past 6 months as I contemplate my build.
I really enjoy mine and anticipate using it for the rest of my life. If you build one and fit it nicely I'm sure you'll love yours. Thanks for the nice comments. I really appreciate it.
I sense a high degree of obsessive compulsive behavior. Please pass on my condolences to your wife 😩. Beautiful tool chest! Why anybody would leave a thumbs down on this effort is beyond me. Keep up the good work!
Beautiful! I have a fraction of the tools you have, but I still find myself trying to figure out the best way to store them. I'm amazed at how much this chest can hold.
Hi Marty- Can't say that I'm going build a tool chest, but you gave me a ton to think about. It gets tiring looking through the drawers for tools and tool rolls. Are sometimes a pain. So I will use many of your ideas, if it's ok with you.
Super storage chest, well laid out. Wouldn't want to have to carry it Anywhere. Just looking at it, imagining having to pick it up made my hemorrhoids flutter.
I've watched this a few times Marty and probably commented before. I use a Snap-on type red steel tool chest, my first Grandson has inspired me to make something like yours for all my favourite tools so that it can go to him eventually. I'll be using yours as a resource when I start it. Lovely job ;-)
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! One idea...can you do something w/ the lid to make it a drawing surface? either as a drawing desk or as a place to keep drawings in use? that slope just exudes drafting table...
The slant would be nice for that, but then it gets in the way of accessing your tools. The beauty of the slant lid is you can't pile stuff on top of it which would make it a hassle just to open the chest. All of the flat surfaces in my shop eventually collect junk, but my dutch tool chest is always free and ready to be opened.
Thank you very much for those nice words. It's a pleasure every time I grab a tool from it. I hope you can make a tool chest that inspires your best work.
Nice Dutch toolchest. I'm a Dutchman and may tell you that luckily the contens of your toolchest isn't typically Dutch. Like the absolute heirloom appearance of the tools and chest.
As I watched this, I kept critiquing the redundancy of the tools, but you really do have a lot of nice things and it is apparent they all have a utility to you. I really appreciate well-thought design and you have truly put in the effort. Bravo Zulu.
Amazing work, wondering if you could share where you got your work apron. Something lightweight like that would be handy in the summer humidity. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing. I've been so caught up in making foam rubber organisers that I've forgotten how easy it was to use magnets and shields for tool storage, so thanks for that. How do you ensure your magnets don't come out? I like the idea of creating an outline "shoe" for every tool. That way a missing tool is easy to identify.
Nice tool chest! it seems like its very practical! I diddnt like the camera tho, too few big pictures. It is hard to picture the whole chest with only closeups, would be nice to see it in action from a bigger view. Also i diddnt quite understand what the back panel was for, just storing saws and stuff like that?
This video is a tour of my tool chest. It is not meant to educate people on what a Dutch Tool Chest is. If you Google the term you can learn what the back panel is for and see it in use.
Il rephrase. I think it is is hard picturing your tool chest, as with closeup pictures things feel very disoriented. It is not pleasant for the eye to watch a closeup for a longer period of time. As for the panel i mentioned, im wondering, since you use your toolbox stationary, why you dont have tools there aswell, since you have them on the sides. I asume if you where to travel with it, you would have to pack everything inside the box anyways, so why not use the free space. But thank you for the reply.
@@nullings I understand what you are saying. I recognize various video formats are not enjoyed by everyone (impossible to please all, as we know). I mostly post to satisfy myself with the thought that some people may also enjoy the content. There are just about an infinite number of combinations of how this tool chest design can be used to hold tools. This is my little take on it. Thanks for stopping by my channel.
18:40 < What did you call this tool? I couldn't hear it clearly in the video. This is an amazing build! It's inspiring to to see all the thought that's gone into it.
Go to Lee valley Veritas website. They have the strongest rare earth magnets I have ever used. 10 times better than the garbage at Home Depot and they are really cheap
Very nice tool box! I like how you have very thing layer outside looks really good, where do you your larger hand saws and panel saws or do you not use them? Anyways thank you.
I love this video and the layout of your tool chest. So functional, organized and easily accessible. Do you mind me asking how long it took to finalize how you wanted it? I am guessing years. Also, I have had problems with rare earth magnets being too magnetic and sticking to the tool, breaking the epoxy bond. Do you recall what type of epoxy you use? Thanks for sharing this video! I would love to see an update video on any changes or improvements you've made over last two years.
Every tool is implanted, and place precisely, thank you for sharing this delicious collection and magnificent tool box. Tool porn at it's finest.
Thanks for that :-)
Nice sideline for you making/selling these , i"ll put an order in now .......good vid., just sub"d :]
....Sexy....
Most impressive, I imagine many hours of thought and labor went into this design, honestly a fine piece of craftsmanship!
Magnets turn the tool into a magnet. When you sharpen the edge of one, the cuttings stick to the blade.
Probably one of the very best Dutch Tool Chest tours - a place for EVERYTHING and everything in its place. There is hardly any space that doesn't have a tool or two fitted one precisely fitted on top of the other. This is simply awe inspiring.

Absolutely beautiful!!!
He’s one of my favorite Woodworkers too. I love everything Chris does!
That is one awesome tool chest! I love your modest decorative touches and the use of magnets.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for those nice comments. I appreciate it!
Lovely Marty. So thoughtfully planned out. We all love to other craftsman's tools. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks John!
You have many nice features on your tool chest. Thanks for the video.
Lovely tool chest, well presented tour of same and everything in its place. Thanks for sharing.
I've watched this a few times and love all the little details. You gave every element purpose and aesthetics. Great work.
Thank you very much!
Wow! Really awesome tool chest, with an amazing collection of fine tools!
The tool chest is great. From a video standpoint, I liked the angles, pace, and descriptions--very well made! I'm recuperating from an injury, and this made me feel like I was in the workshop rather than stuck in bed. Only thing missing is the smell of freshly cut wood. Thanks for making this.
Glad you enjoyed the tour. Hope you can get back in the shop soon.
I love how organized this chest is. Really like the spokeshave holders. Great attention to detail.
gorgeous tool collection and amazing job compacting and organizing.
Awesome toolbox Marty! So many sweet tools. I have tool envy now!
That is one of the neatest tool boxes I have ever seen! A real gem of storage features and tricks. Thanks!
Very nice box and tools Marty! Thank you.
I love how you aligned your screws
John Montgomery standard practice. Before the pozidrive straight slot screws were always aligned to the piece screwed on. As here horizontal, which is the lie of the handle and in the likes of door hinges vertical, following the door height. On door hinges the alignment also served to prevent paint gathering in the slot, (as it would if horizontal) as well as looking neat.
Beautiful! Love how every tool has a spot and a magnet!
Thank you!
Magnificent Work, definitely a Tool Chest to be Proud of. cheers from Michael Australia.
That sliding drawer although very simple is just super sleek how it slides across and everything
What an incredible tool box, just spectacular, thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful set up.
I really enjoyed the chest tour, especially how you made use of earth magnets. I have used them a lot in my tool chest (Shuster tool chest). Thanks for explaining how you attached everything.
very nice tools, and very nice dutch tool chest, thanks for sharing and giving me inspiration
Beautifully done! Nice collection of Bridge City tools. Impressive.
Thanks. I enjoyed acquiring them those so many years ago
This is an amazing tool chest!! So we’ll thought out. Gives me inspiration to make my own. Love it! Well done. 👍
Wow...beautiful work Marty, good use of space and I like the layout. I can tell a lot of thought went into the planning. Thanks.
Thanks :-)
What a great way to spend a half hour! Wow, super organized colection, nice work!
Thanks :-)
I like the idea to use magnets. Think I'll do some of that too whenever I put a tool chest together. Really nicely organized.
Thanks. I do like the magnets :-)
I really like your videos, I find your attention to detail and skill very inspiring and motivating. Thanks for making them.
Loved to see your satisfaction face at the end. With all this, you can build not one or 2 houses, you can build 10.
Thanks for the tour. Great idea for holding the front panel.
Thanks :-)
Thanks for the tour Marty. Really like how well organized everything is. I especially like the collection of fine tools you have!
Thanks Guy :-)
Thanks for the tour Marty, there is quite a bit of inspiration in that chest!
Thanks. I enjoy getting inspiration from other tool chests too.
Great job Marty. Very impressed.
Awesome work! thanks for the inspiration! Hey just a thought for the ruler & straight edge... if you cut in little "finger recess/ pocket" into the lid, etc. behind where they sit it may make it easier to get your finger behind the ruler & straightedge to pull them off the magnets.
Thanks, and that's a great suggestion regarding the finger recess.
Nice chest holding a real nice collection.
Very inspirational tool chest and a beautiful tool collection! Cheers
Thanks for that :-)
Functional e beautiful, congrats Sir !
You could call this the "rare earth magnet toolchest"! Awesome and thanks for sharing!
Thanks :-)
Beautiful, well thought out, creative, and inspirational, Marty!
Thank you!
Amazing job. Kudos from Brazil.
You must have a lot of spare time ;) Love some of the quality tools you have on display. Thanks for sharing.
Woodworking is one of my passions so I devote time to it. Less TV, more woodworking ;-) Thanks.
Great tool chest the details are awesome! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for that :-)
Beautiful tool chest and brilliant tour 👍! Thanks for sharing 🙏.
Thanks :-)
Incredible! Maybe should relabel this video “extremely magnetic OCD tool chest”. Not sure if the magnetic field repels sawdust somehow. Either way, very impressive. Thanks for the great video!
My favorite Dutch Tool Chest on TH-cam.
So much details, I love it ! great work (for great tools)
Rare earth magnet drinking game! Just kidding, love the box and tool organization. Subscribed!
Good God! Does anyone else get the feeling that there's no dust in this guys shop? :-) This is just fantastic! Beautiful work sir!

Thanks. I really do like the form factor of this type of tool chest. It serves me well.
Did you know that these chest were also used in the 17th century in dutch sailingships? The sloping top was to prevent rain dripping into the chest
Also so no will park there buttocks on your chest
Awesome tool chest! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks :-) Regarding the lid, I have seen some examples where the lid is used as you suggest. It just doesn't fit my needs to do so.
The slant would be nice for that, but then it gets in the way of accessing your tools. The beauty of the slant lid is you can't pile stuff on top of it which would make it a hassle just to open the chest.

That stuff almost looks too nice to use hahaha
Beautiful collection, I hope I'll get there somewhere far in the future!
:-) Just start and you'll get there eventually. I had almost no tools 25 years ago.
Thank you for your reply!! Luckily it's going well with my collection, my first Lie-Nielsen is on it's way, a number 4 bench plane.
Me too , its taken me @ 25 years to get quality tools like Knipex , Wiha , Stahlwille , etc..:]
@MartyBacke I'd love to see how you made your magnetic plane holders. Any chance you'd be interested in showing off a bit?
I pereodicaly watch this video for inspiration! Amazing tool chest!
Thank you very much for those nice words. It's a pleasure every time I grab a tool from it. I hope you can make a tool chest that inspires your best work.
Your planes are beautiful
Gorgeous design!

How do you ensure your magnets don't come out?
I like the idea of creating an outline "shoe" for every tool. That way a missing tool is easy to identify.
I do use lots of magnets all over the shop. I use a gel superglue. A few dabs in the bottom of the hole keeps them very secure.
Thanks. My toolbox is going to be tossed about so I think I'll use ring magnets for extra security
I use a few ring magnets for the heavier tools. They are incredibly strong - good choice.
Awesome work man!
Thanks!

I was trying to get some Rare Earth Magnets on Ebay but They're all sold out. :)
Home Depot, Lowes etc now carry rare earth magnets.
They’re quite ‘rare’. ;)
Go to Lee valley Veritas website. They have the strongest rare earth magnets I have ever used. 10 times better than the garbage at Home Depot and they are really cheap
Very nice tool box! I like how you have very thing layer outside looks really good, where do you your larger hand saws and panel saws or do you not use them? Anyways thank you.
Thank you. Regarding the larger handsaws - although I have a couple, they are rarely used so I store them elsewhere.
Beautifully made tool chest. I completely agree, rare earth magnets are worth their weight in gold... well, at least silver. ; )
Thank you
I love this video and the layout of your tool chest. So functional, organized and easily accessible. Do you mind me asking how long it took to finalize how you wanted it? I am guessing years.

I would love to see an update video on any changes or improvements you've made over last two years.
I actually use gel superglue to secure the magnets. I haven't had any problems yet, knock on wood :-)
