I have finally gotten around to starting a plane till / tool cabinet. I'll post pictures when it gets done, but I have a question. Several of you who have been kind enough to share pictures of your tool cabinets suggested using a removable insert for the inside of the door cavity so that you can swap it out when you decide to rearrange tools. My question is how do you attach the insert to the door?
My door skins and the inserts are both going to be 1/2" Baltic Birch ply. I was thinking a screw in each corner, but there's less than 1" of total thickness. Are 3/4" screws really enough? I have a concrete floor, so if the insert panel lets go, there will be a lot of chisels and gouges to sharpen.
Thanks in advance for the advice.
