Grandma always kept an exquisite tool hutch on display
Congratulations! The frugal thrift store choice turned out to be amazingly efficient. You have a intelligent, creative mind.
I've said it many times...your brain is a gift from God. It fascinates me, the way you see things. Great job ! Hugs
It's kinda fun having free reign over something that was previously a showpiece. Yet Doug gave it proper resepects unlike myself who would have spray painted it camo. That's a quality piece and I don't blame you for wanting to repurpose it. Makes life interesting!
This is what I love about vintage furniture. It’s multifunctional and made so well.
Nice job Doug. I wanted to mention theres a young girl on youtube. That bought an abandoned mid century modern house. Shes doing reno to it. The roof is bad and leaking. There is some structural damage as well as moĺd everywhere. Her and her family as well as her boyfriend is slowly doing videos on the reno. If you want to watch her. Her name is Jenna Phipps. I love the house. Shes going to try and keep as much of the stuff they take out. Like lamps and everything. Shes finding treasures in the stuff that was left behind.
I told her about Doug, too!
Suggestion: you can store your glass shelves on the top of the hutch. Got to admit, your hutch idea turned out better than I expected. Nice buy.
I repurpose thrift store finds all the time. I think they are more aesthetically pleasing and more interesting than new, store bought Chinese junk.
Excellent project, tools are expensive, need the proper care, and the modified hutch will take care of that.
Excellent re-purposing of an old faithful of many homes and kitchens 👍
that is perfect. you know how to spot solutions that others would miss. 👍
I use tools in my craft room and I do understand the importance of keeping them protected, as well as organized…tools of any kind are not cheap. I enjoyed the video as always.
I like it, especially with glass doors so you can see what tool you're looking for, and you don't have to keep opening cabinets to find out where they're at!!!
A place for everything and everything has a place. Makes looking for tools so much easier to find. Plus it makes the work trailer look classy❤
I say with love it's, "in its place."
I agree about the class. It looks great.
Well done!
That’s a very posh tool cabinet, but clearly the DeWalt tools deserve it for all their hard work.
Great work. 👏👏❤
Personally, I think a tool hutch is a great idea! 🤩
That cabinet is AWESOME! love it!
tool box Doug. Looks great.
Brilliant idea with hanging brackets
Meet Tim the Toolmans brother, Doug.
I knew you wouldn't let that sag go.
That’s the prettiest tool cabinet I have ever seen. You deserve it and did a great job organizing!
You have a fancy cabinet in your workshop my husband has a chandelier in his lol
Doug's medieval workshop.😁
What a beautiful hutch! 😍
Love that you modified it without doing it permanently! That piece would be in our kitchen if Jenna got her hands on it! 😂
Love it!!! So organized
That’s a great find and a good price as far as I’m concerned.
There’s nothing wrong with using it as a tool cabinet. Looks great.
Have u saw people taking top of hutches for the top of kitchen cabinets? they paint them and hang...looks cool.
I remember when you had just a few basic tools, you’ve come a long way 😊
I love that y’all repurposed the hutch. Honestly it’s a lot better than sitting unused in a thrift store.
Doug I really wish that you didn’t get so bothered by the overly opinionated comments, it’s not their stuff and people are going to insert their opinions regardless. So do what makes you and Ashley happy. 😊
The hutch was a good find-idea as a tool cabinet.Every handyman's dream.Youve got a man shed.
Doug what a genius idea for the tools to be hanging in there. Love love it
Love this!!!! Y'all are so smart! Most people would never think to use the blocks to lift the top!!
Store the glass on top of the unit with paper between them 😊 out of the way and safe
What a fantastic tool hutch, I love the way you think.
YOU HAVE THE BEST~~~~IDEAS!!! You amaze me!! I am PROUD OF YOU....I know that sounds strange, yet I AM!!!! 😄😄😄
I used my mother’s old hutch as a tool hutch for three years now! It’s a great idea.
It’s great to see the tool storage unit installed and filled.Some people can’t see potential in items used in a way they were not intended to be .You see that very clearly as you go along ,and in thrift shopping effectively one must have that skill .It is perfect ,and the shop looks so good with it now being a cut above.I love tung oil .It is all I use to finish wood.Old age and infirmity excludes me from big projects ,but the small ones are within my grasp and can be done whilst seated.I am in the middle of stripping and finishing three little side tables. Originally tall strongly made thrift shop bar stools,now cut to plant stand or side table height.thrillingly the black paint had concealed the wood scraps joined together ,forming the surface. Beautifully grained Thai hardwood off-cuts making a glorious sampler of exotic wood. The Tung oil brings it to life.
You have brought tool storage to new heights! I agree with you. You have quite an investment in your tools, they should have a safe and beautiful home!
Ashley you are a good help mate and you work as hard as Doug! Doug i am amazed at your creative use of the hutch. You both. Keep. Doung. You. 🔨🌻🌵🎶
Awesome awesome awesome you always come up with the best ideas plus for people who have mobility issues and can’t do projects. I’ve really appreciate your channel.
Your saw holder is brilliant , your such a clever little vegimite Doug , thats a aussie saying for a smart cookie " well done "
This Grandma loves this tool storage idea! Always love y’alls projects and your work ethic! Now I just need to get my tool closet looking that nice! 77 and still building projects for my home❤
I LOVE that rack! I think I'll order a couple, as well, for my growing DeWalt hand tool collection. Thanks, Doug!
Those tool racks are a perfect fit! Good job!
So organized! Wow!
The original owner sure would be surprised at what you did with the cabinet. It's good you fixed the sag problem right away. Nice job!
Awesome! I used a gun cabinet I purchased at Habitat Restore to store my fabrics. I took two 12" maple base kitchen drawer cabinets, put them on wheels, built a frame around them seperating them by 30" for a chair; then added a top and made a rolling sewing center. I love repurposing beautiful solid wood furniture. It's fun and thrifty! I showed my hubby your beautiful tool cabinet. (So you've got extra views on this video!) Love Love Love this idea!
Well done, Doug!!! I have a large wooden cabinet that I now know what to do with it!!! 🥰🎶❤️🎶❤️🎶🏡🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Hi Doug and Ashley. I love the hutch tool cabinet! It's a genius idea💡 😊. You guys rock! Thank you for sharing and as always God bless your beautiful family 👨👩👧👦 🙌🌷💖
Looks terrific! Love that you are repurposing the hutch.
You are the kind of people who built the pyramids. Awesome !
I think it was a cool idea using the hutch for your tools. Nice and organized.
This is off topic, but what happened to the antique kitchen sink you were restoring. I loved that project and was looking forward to your kitchen remodel.
Me too but .
We got distracted by the weather and new projects popping up so we put it aside for now. It's still missing the doors and drawers. But it's functional and working great! It's been amazing to have a working kitchen sink. We'll try to do an update for you.
Did you refinish it with appliance paint?
OSHA here! I love the new tool hutch, everything’s great!! But Doug, glass doors in a workshop? I really think you could easily put a tool through the glass, even worse your hand or arm! If you for some reason loose your balance or footing, or a piece of wood kicks back, a hand or elbow is going through the glass. I was thinking while watching, those doors are actually really cool without the glass. Or replace with plexiglass. Just too dangerous….sorry!!!!
Adhesive clear film over the glass would mitigate the safety issues.
A good place to store the glass shelves would be on top of the cabinet.😊
Seriously Doug, you should receive some form of recognition from Dewalt for demonstrating a lot of their power tools! Also, have always recognized your respect for all your tools and now you have repurposed a solid built wooden hutch into a perfect home for power tools and a beautiful one at that for the near perfect size you needed!
Good job dear family!
Your tool hutch and bottom buffet cabinet are an elegant and excellent combination to your work and tool shop ! 👏Great job, you may have started a trend! 😊👍💕💕💕
Probably the best $215 you've spent! So organized! Well done!
I love organizing. Great job. And once again you used something I would never have thought of.
You are genius
Your creativity never ceases to amaze me
I agree with some of the other commenters
Grandma had a special hutch for all her fancy and sometimes expensive china, extra.
Which made her happy.
So Doug
There's nothing wrong with you having all your nice expensive tools in a fancy case 😊
Sure looks 100 times better than a DeWalt metal cabinet.
Nice you can find everything
Looking good and I love that hutch and base. It's style reminds me of the south with the curves etc. Love those stands for keeping the tools on. Brillant. Dual purpose...........pleasing to the eye and great for storage. Genius.
Have a great weekend!
I really love how you've organized your tools and the cabinet is perfect. 💞
WHAT A BRILLIANT AND BEAUTIFUL IDEA❤❤❤
That is the coolest looking cabinet! Smart, smart, smart...
Happy is a good thing I think it’s really cool and it looks nice as well. Organized job well done
Job well done!😊
Awesome tool storage center. A place for everything and everything in it's place! Being organized makes all projects and clean ups less stressful as well.❤
That’s amazing! Love it! Thanks for sharing!
I think the cabinet will workout great for the workshop.
I'd say you made an appropriate home for a couple grand worth of tools! Turned out very nice, and smart to remove the glass!
Everything looks great! Another job done. Have a great weekend! 🌴
Very nicely done, Doug. Incorporating the hanging tool rack system into that piece of furniture is a very elegant solution to organizing your tools without making any excessive modifications to the cabinet.
Take care and God Bless.
I would store the glass shelves on top of the hutch to protect them in case you want to use them later.
That cabinet is beautiful and now very functional for all of your power tools, etc. I hope that after you’ve built your new shop you can bring it into the house for your dining room. Great job! Thanks for sharing👍🏻Have a great weekend🙂
"Always new tools in the future!" You sound just like my husband with his tools! 😃 He has a Ryobi collection just like you have DeWalt. Hutch works fantastic!
You guys are so amazing~~such a team!! Glad to see that it worked out. Always good to repurpose and recycle!
I love your crafty mind… looks fantastic and very functional.. gotta say never seen that idea 😃
What a great workbench hutch! You are thinking ahead and efficiently. I really like what you did there!
I think it looks great in your workshop! I feel like that kind of furniture isn't as popular anymore and I think its awesome that you can use it for something practical while still being able to admire its beauty.
Bye~! looks amazing!
Love the comment😂😂
Very nice way to store your tools. Plus you can see what's in there without having to open up the doors. 👍 By the way, nice DeWalt collection you got .
Love the hutch and how you are reusing it. Eventually, maybe it will go in your home, but that's for your future. I really like your ingenuity.
That is too cool . And you can see what tool you need to grab . Awesome
Ready? Yeah, but with a question mark. Ashley is such a trooper. Great mom and matches her husband’s work effort one for one. I’m such a fan.
I want that piece for my home.. Please send😂😂 love your life !!
Awesome transformation of the cabinet !!!!
Tool cabinet turned out awesome!
Looks great. I love the organisation of it all. I am impressed. Bless 🙏🏻❤️
Nice tool cabinet Doug.👍
Very nice! Lookin good! Love y’all!
Doug you got a good deal on the hutch. I bought the same type furniture when I lived in Europe and paid a lot more the $200 . ha
Very cool 😎
Golly, I wish my husband was that organized! He leaves tools screws bits and nails everywhere!
Well done repurposing a hutch to turn into a tool hutch also held everything Nicely!
Looks good 😮 nice how you can see all 😊 good job! Love it! Much love 🤗❤
I love when an idea comes together! Great job as always and so well thought out-like keeping the racks towards the front. It would have been an afterthought for me when the drill bit hit the back of the cabinet-then I'd be re-doing the racks. Another thing to keep in mind-thanks!
I'm sure you all don't realize the amount of "teaching" that you pass on through your videos-I really appreciate it!
