I've been watching this thread with great interest, as I'd like to build something along the lines of a tool cabinet some day, but when???

I'm only 29, and although I keep telling myself that I have enough planes to carry out most projects, I know that more will be added in due course, and I couln't bare to make a tool cabinet to suit my current tool collection - I'm not a collector, I need these tools!!! (that's just in case the wife reads this :wink: ) - for it to be insufficient for my needs in the not too distant future.

Here is a shot of my tool wall a few months ago, and it's much the same now, except that I've sold my LN chisels, and am starting to put together a set of the new Ashley Iles chisels in their place.

I really would like to make a fitted cabinet like Whybob71 and Tony's (and Mr Studley), but I'm just too nervous that I'd outgrow it, how do you guys feel? Does this spell the end to your tool buying?

Cheers

Well, apart from the set of antique hollows and rounds, all the Philly planes and a few other bits 'n' bobs....
