Made from walnut, birch, and Baltic birch, the cabinet has two sets of dovetailed, piano- hinged doors, one on top of the other, for more storage space.  Tools can be mounted on all seven surfaces. Doors latch with hidden rare-earth magnets. I liked this cabinet so much I built another identical one and mounted it beside the first one.  Each door is 16" x 40".  First level depths are 1 3/8" and 5/16". Second level depths are 2 1/2" and 4".

The description now includes the basic dimensions. Sorry I'm not a qualified Sketchup expert as yet. The joinery is somewhat novel, but not particularly complex and could easily be modified to suit the tools to be displayed.

Excellent idea! Lots of 'wallspace'inside. I'd love to see more pictures.
