Wall-Hanging Tool Chest Pt. 2

http://thewoodwhisperer.com
As is always the case, my designs tend to change on the fly. And since this was a Guild project, a lot of Guild member input went into the design modifications. So this video begins with a quick screencast showing you some of the changes I made to the tool cabinet since our last presentation. Viva la Sketchup!

With the design mostly complete, we can start the construction phase. My goal is to build the project entirely out of Baltic Birch plywood. Its cheap, stable, and doesn't look half bad even without edge treatments! It really is the perfect material for shop furniture and jigs.

Now one thing to keep in mind is that my ultimate goal here is to teach you how to build your own cabinet. This is completely different than giving you a plan and saying, "Copy this!". I am providing you with my working Sketchup file and my cut list, but due to the nature of plywood and its variations in thickness, you will absolutely need to put your thinking cap on and do some design work on your own. But with the Sketchup File, the video, and your noggin, you have everything you need to build this project or some variation of it.

Why didnt you use your exact width dedo jig. or your cross cut sldges.. I built those using your ideas works really great. so thanks for that. But are there cases where I should not be using those ?

@balalaser There are always multiple ways to get things done. That's not to say one way is better than another. So if you watch a lot of woodworking videos, you'll see folks using different methods and tools and they are all perfectly viable.
