These plans for a wall-hung pegboard tool cabinet will help you construct a compartment that can open into a nine feet-wide storage chest.
The strong continuous hinges support the heavy load of the tools. The carcass is built using dovetails to ensure durability and provide ample space.

Instructions For Building Wall-Hung Pegboard Tool Cabinet
- Craft the components for the cabinet and cut dovetails into them using a table saw.
- Create the channels for the back panel into the side panels.
- Fasten the back panel using glue and secure the hanging cleat to the top panel and back.
- Make the cleat more sturdy by countersinking screws into it.
- Create a channel at the door panel’s edge to offset it. Use a saw blade with square teeth. Create the channels for the side, top, and bottom pieces of the door similarly.
- Angle the saw blade at 45 degrees and create the bevel into the door’s upper edges. You can also create the bevel using a block plane.
- Put together the door panel pieces and see if they fit correctly. Don’t glue them yet.
- Create the parts for the hinged panels and fasten them by driving screws into butt joints.
- Craft the pegboard panels about 1/4 inch wider and taller than the frame and secure them to the frame with glue.
- Trim the sides of the pegboard level with the frame’s edges after the glue dries.
- Create a rabbet for the hinge in the door and then fasten the hinge to the cabinet and door with screws.
- Verify that the door aligns correctly when it is closed.
- Fasten the hinge for the panels that swing out to the inner door face with screws.
- Craft a spacer that is equal in thickness to the hinge and set it between the swing-out panel and the door face.
- After the swing-out door is fastened, it should close level with the inner door face.
