- In this video we get to see a tool chest created by Jim Schuster. This tool chest was inspired by the Studley tool chest. Jim collected tools since 2014 and this took him 1.5 years to build. This is on example of what it looks like when a woodworker puts their heart into a project.

The hammer book: "The Hammer" by Ron Baird and Dan Comerford
This deserves to be kept unmolested in all its glory the exact way this man leaves it. A truly worthy museum piece with his pic and bio right beside to preserve his legacy. Hats off to you sir.
Well stated and 100% agree!!!
I see this tool chest as something I might find at the gateway to heaven… with the holy grail number 1 sitting front and center. Beautiful collection, I’m blown away
Top tier craftsmanship.
Just amazing not just the chest itself but the collection of tools within it.
The best part about this in my opinion is that he successfully accomplished the one thing that is the hardest to do. That is he designed and build the box in such a way that forces the viewers eyes to go over and over it because you keep finding something that you didn’t see at first look. Just like Studleys box you have to take some time or you will surely miss things.
SO TRUE!!! I watched this video over and over even in editing and kept finding new things!
He didn't design it with the intention of the viewer
He designed it so his tools all fit and are easy to find
That's why it's so intriguing to look at and easy to spot the tools
It is a beautiful piece of art
Oh man what a treat to watch thank you so much for filming. You can tell this guy loves and enjoys his life’s work.
He does!!! And he was an awesome person so that was a bonus :D I could have listened to him for hours!
The guy loves his collection! The tool chest is an after thought.
That would make Studley smile
Awesome! I built my first first about 2 years ago. I think another 5-8 incarnations and maybe another 30 years and I'll have something i might be this proud of. Outstanding collection. Beautifully presented.
Absolutely Outstanding.... Awesome video!
Wow! Overwhelming and gorgeous! Thanks for posting this!
Hi Jamie , loved the video. Thanks for stopping by.
Hey Jim! Thank you for letting us stop by! That was an amazing experience!
I hope he has good locks on his doors because one day (uh one night) I'll be standing at his shop door and taking a good look in his beautiful tool cabinet.😅❤
it is AWESOME.
thank you for sharing this with us.😢😅
Hahaha I should have added *from an undisclosed location* haha
Thank you!
What a neat way to show a lifetime of passionate tool collecting
100% agree!!
I used to think that I have a vintage tools hoarding problem, then I realized that this man has a hoarding problem. This video made me feel so much better about myself.
Hahaha happy to help :D
Scoutcrafter sent me,hello from England .
Thank you and hello!
I have a respectable collection of antique tools. There are a number here that I have never seen and certainly dont know what they are used for. Amazing collection. There's a lot of money in that tool chest - never mind the exceptionally hard work put into the tool case itself. It would fetch an eye watering price. And gets more expensive every single day. What a great asset.
I like the "odd-job" tool in the upper right side hinged doorlet above all the big hand planes - would've been great to see him discuss THAT one :)
What an amazing collection and display case! He definitely loves his hobby.
That cabinet was incredible and I really enjoyed the tour and the stories he had to share! What an incredible experience!
What an inspiration! Thanks for this!
What’s awesome is that he has curated these fine tools, and society will benefit as a result. Think how much harder it would be to do this in 10 or 25 years, let alone 100. Hats off!
100% agree!!!!
Absolutely awesome!!!
fantastic collection
A true work of art. Beautiful!
Really nice job on the cabinet lay out ❤
Just inspiring …. I could look at a 5 hour video of this
Same! I wanted the story on every tool in there but I think Jim would have kicked me out at some point lol
Wow, thank you for showing ! Very nice Video 🙂☮
You are awesome lol thank you!
AWESOME !!!!!
Thank you Guys, that was a privilege, brilliant,
What a tool chest! OMG!
He took it to a whole other level 👏👏👏
100%!!!
OMG best of all time and satisfying video. This is a tool man, who loves his tools. This old guy is second to none. Most greatest tool chest
I agree 100%! Thank you!!
Wow! Simply awesome collection. It's great that he has a story behind every tool.
you cant replicate Studley, but you can one up him and I think youve easily done that, thank you for sharing
Wow absolutely amazing totally incredible thanks for sharing this. Can’t wait to see other video
Thanks for this! The pictures overlays were very helpful! Appreciate your efforts!
Glad you like them! Thank you!
Wow, that's a piece of art as much as it is a tool cabinet. Absolutely stunning. Amazing craftsmanship and design.
Scoutcrafter steered me over here..well worth it. Thanks
Amazing! Sent by Scoutcrafter
great video.. old dude in the background couldn't help but put his 2 cents on every explanation the guy had. I'm sure they both have a lot of knowledge but let the man explain his own tool chest!!
I cut out a lot of it too hahahah
Working museum.
I watch your videos and enjoy them but do not comment much, but this video took my breath away. Thanks for doing this!
Thank you!!! I'm glad people are enjoying it! I really thought the short version would do better but it makes me happy that this one is!
My man....I had to stop the video and play it again when the one guy said he found a Number 1 Stanley for 10 bucks. That's my dream. To be somewhere at a garage sale and find someone who is selling off tools in grandpa's tool chest. But, if I'm being honest, I don't think I could do that. I'd have to tell the person selling it that it's worth well over a thousand. Returning to the point of this video.....wow that tool chest is special. Thank you for posting this.
I was having the same struggle, my heart wants to say id tell them the price and then make an offer, my bank account wouldn't be able to pay the value, and then my head says, if they are selling an item they should have looked it up first. So why should i do the work for them and make myself pay more? hahaha
I doubt it will ever happen but i will have that debate in my brain again if it does lol
Thank you!!
I have one L.I. &J White chisel 1 1/2” and it’s awesome.
Amazing!
Old tools are the shit!!!
Super!!!
Awesome! Thank you for sharing!
INCREDIBLE!
Amazing. Love every part of the tool cabinet and shop. :)
Stunning collection. Incredible display. Just jaw dropping!
That's amazing! Thanks for doing this video. Very cool stuff.
Awesome video
Amazing shop!
What a great video. That man is really talented. Over the top..👍❤...
Wow what a craftsman cool chest and exquisite tools to fill it
That is an awesome collection of rare and hard to find tools, but all together set up in that amazing tool box is just a remarkable inspiration of how persistence and dedication can be truly rewarding! :)
nice stuff
This one was really beautiful, Jamie. Thank you.
Thank you!!
Absolutely stunning! What an amazing setup. Also, i have one of those little drawknifes and its one of my favorite tools in my collection. Thanks for the tour!
Was yours made from a file also!? I want to make one now lol
@BatCaveCreations unfortunately no, it's a very old buck Brothers one. It's small size makes it super handy though
@jerryhoogeveen that is awesome tho! I never even saw a buck bros draw knife till my father gave me one right after that trip. If it's a small size, it's even more special. Keep it!
Thanks! A show of support. Chris
You rock Chris!!! Thank you!
Congrats it’s amazing, greetings from Mexico!
Gracias y hola!
Oh wow. What an awesome collection. I've bought tools from Dan Raburn at Colonial Homestead. Great place.👍👍
It deff is! Colonial Himestead is the BEST store! If I was Ritch I'd buy the whole dang place bahaha
The use of magnets, exactly what Studley would do if he was alive now.
I like the multiple doors.
Also interesting is that he's gone for no ornamentation.
I liked that part! It's like he wanted the focus on the tools not the woodwork! And I agree! Magnets changed the game hahha
I've a 1780s chest on chest. In mahogany. Last count, I've found 10 secret compartments. That would be an interesting addition.
The other aspect of these displays is religious. Look up religious diptychs and triptychs. There's certainly a connection between these cabinets and that form of art.
Some of the paintings were designed to be travelling pieces for a personal altar. So you had the doors, and it was only when you opened them up did you see the inner beauty.
That's probably more relevant for the Studley, because of the masonic symbology.@@BatCaveCreations
The hammers at 9:00 were cool. I'd have to look at the saw till as well in more detail. @@BatCaveCreations
@@Nickle314 I have rewatched this video and the other one a few time to keep trying to take it all in. It's amazing!
@@BatCaveCreations I'd like to build one, or two. Other things I like. I like his multiple doors. The other one, there is a limited set of patterns you can apply. Screw drivers, chisels, follow the same pattern. Drill bits, its just a hole. Saws are another pattern, a lift from a saw till.
Magnets mean you don't need the latches. There's a pattern to how the planes are handled. Or two - the horizontal or the vertical. Vertical will a push in and up, then down.
It doesn't as far as I can see have the protrude from one side into a space on the other side.
Holtzapffel is worth researching, they have similar set ups. Search for "Holtzapffel tool cabinet". Their Rose engines are interesting.
Fantástico
Great video, Jamie! I hope you film lots more shop tours, I enjoy seeing other people’s collections. I did not get jealous of any of his tools, although hearing about a $10 no.1 has sent me in a blind rage. 😋
Thank you!!
And trust me I get it! Hahaah it's everyone dream to find a no 1 for that price. But now my goal is to find one for $9 just to say I beat Brian hahahah
@@BatCaveCreations haha I’m the same way! I’ll aim for $5.
ScoutCrafter sent me.
Great video, looking at the tool box on wheels is his next project 😅
Haha yes it is! It's not on wheels I think he is gonna build a stand for it then fill that one! Imma try to get a video of it when he's done hahah
ScoutCrafter sent me ! Great video!
Thank you!!!
@@BatCaveCreations My pleasure! I'm looking forward to seeing your other videos!
Parabéns
I feel like it's probably a tad macabre to say it, but this dude's estate sale is going to be bonkers.
Hahahah that is halarious!
I felt bad, but i had exactly the same thought. I hope that he's done some serious planning to make sure everything finds the right hands
@@vedicapproach8105 is it bad that I wanna shoud ME ME ME PLEEEAAAASSSEEE!!!!! Hahaahah
It would be a shame to split the collection.
@@privatechannel8462 100% agree! I hope it ends up like the studly in a museum
Forstners for brace are unicorn tools! I was convinced that they only exited in old brochures, and here this mythical living legend of a man has a whole set. Stop! My God! How do you have any strength in your legs standing next to this man? I’m not even past the first layer and I’m ready to marry him.
Hahaha this made my day! Thank you! I needed that laugh!!
"please don't get tool envy" how dare you sir! I am entrenched in tool envy. I am swimming in it.
Hahhaha I guess it was inevitable huh? Lol
Still like it!
YES!!!! Jim was so excited about that (we were too!)! I had to include it in the video! Lol
❤❤❤❤
The cabinet and collection are amazing! Does he use any of the tools or is it mainly for display?
He uses them too! That made me happy to hear! I mean he prob doesn't use all of them, like the no 1, but these are his nicer users :D
@@BatCaveCreations That makes this really amazing! Thank you for sharing this!
Amazing! He mentioned Norwalk. Norwalk IA by chance? I'm in Iowa City myself.
No it's Norwalk, OH.
But! Are you going to Handworks in Amana, IA!?
@@BatCaveCreations I fully intend to! Being just 40ish minutes away.
Yes!!! Hope to see you there!
Do the tools magnify attached to the magnets full time. I hang all my knives on magnets in my kitchen and they are all magnetic now.
That is a great question, I don't have an answer tho :( none of my tools are held by magnets right now
I heard you guys talk about a "Hammer" book. Do you know what book (proper title) was being referred to and its author?
its called "the hammer" by Ron Baird and Dan Comerford
What's the title of the book on hammers you referenced?
It is called "the hammer, the king of tools" by Ron Baird and Dan Comerford
I think i just saw into my future lol
Please what are the names of the two Hammer books you are referencing?
There is only one and I believe it is called "the hammer, the king of tools" by Ron Baird and Dan Comerford
Is this from Bat Cave, North Carolina?
Haha no! I didn't learn that was a city till after I made the channel lol
Jim lives in OH
I missed out on the sterrett lady legs for $35 because I quit my job and couldn’t justify spending any money at the time.
Dang! I've been there! I hope you find a deal like that again!
What kind of wood/stain is that I wonder
I know he said oak but I didn't ask about the stain/finish :(
From a practical standpoint this cabinet isn't very useful. It is to celebrate the tools and their history. Beeing tool nerd myself I could listen, watch and marvel for hours...
True he told me he took it to a show once and I was like "HOW???" Hahaha
Came here to say the same thing! Definitely a collector's chest and not a user's.
Just to make it clear: I don't wanna be disrespectful. I think he did an awesome job and is a great guy and a exelent craftsman. But as he is such, I am sure that he knows by himself, that it would be anojing to dig down to the second level every time he has to go for his most used plane. If you work with the tools they have to be accesable. A bit more space between the tools and a just the most frequent tools within armlengt is more usefull than all the tools closly paked. But this is not the topic here. I am just metioning it for potential beginners might think that this might be the ultimate setup for a workshop. IMHO it is not.
I didn't take this disrespectful at all! I understand what you are saying and your correct a beginner should not build this if it will be their main/user tool chest!
Full set of L&IJ White bench chisels *_AND_* a full set of cranknecks?
YES!!!!!!! Blew my mind! I'm pretty sure the bench chisels are unused. Still have the coating on them
Is that a 'sugar' hammer, does anyone know?
It is
I only want to display the tools I've used while learning my craft.
Deff! I was the same way when I started. After yoube been in the craft a while you'll see that you start acquiring non user tools hahahah
Alright Jamie, you can kink shame all you want, but that Schuster tool chest cave me a bit of a chubby. BTW you're doing an excellent job with the channel, keep up the good work, brother.
Hahahahhaha fair!!
And thank you!!!
Repect
dude needs to use that epic tool set to make himself a hearing aid
Collector's displays his collection......
Fantastico.
Un saluto dzll Italia
