I like this, very simple and accessible. I am the same way with my hand tools in drawers. Eventually I would like to make something like Chris Schwarz’s A&C wall cabinet for my hand tools, but as a stop gap measure until I can get my bench built, this seems to be the way to go.

No spacer is needed. I used two 3/4″ thick maple boards separated by some 1/2″ thick cherry for the top rack. With it mounted flush to the wall, I have no problems adding or removing tools.

Regards,
Dave

The bench looks like it’s going to be a knockout. I just finished my own bench project this past winter… almost. I still have to install the tool tray ramps. Keep us posted.

Can you add some details for your top rack? In particular, I’m wondering if you added a spacer between the wall and the first board. Since I’m also going to do this on a wall and not in front of a window, I’m wondering if I’ll need a spacer to more easily grab tool handles.

Thanks,
Kevin
