dad's birthday project at fine woodworking

this is not a photo of my dad, but rather an aspiration for his new woodworking shop. the folks at fine woodworking offer advice & inspiration for carpenters. my dad's been getting their magazine for as long as i can remember. it's an essential in the house ~ like a wood burning stove, a fresh pot of coffee, and a lounging dog. this is a photo of a diy tool cabinet that holds more than 300 tools, while covering only 12 sq.ft. of wall. it has drawers, cubby holes, hanging bars & hooks, all within a birch plywood box.
p.s. this is not the project i'm doing for my dad as a b-day gift. if it turns out like i hope, i'll blog about that later.
