I had the honor of pouring through the 100-plus entries in our Tool Chest photo gallery contest, which ended this week with Gregg Novosad's Lonnie Bird-Inspired Tool Chest taking home top prize. It reminded me of this video we captured a few years ago while videographer Gary Junken was on assignment at Lonnie Bird's workshop near Knoxville, Tenn.
In the clip Bird takes us on a tour of his hand plane collection and the hanging tool cabinet that houses it. The wall-mounted walnut cabinet is actually the upper case to an 18th-century Pennsylvania secretary desk with tombstone doors and everything. It's something like the one Bird built for his project article in issue #154 of Fine Woodworking. Inside he keeps a collection of hollow and rounds, 18th century wooden hand planes used to shape molding and furniture parts. It also holds a collection of refirbished bench planes that are worth a look.
