I'm finally getting around to building a wall-mounted hand tool cabinet, and in looking at some samples in Jim Tolpin's The Toolbox Book, I noticed that the fronts and backs are often made from 1/4" ply. Tool hangers/holders are then screwed into this. That seems like there would not be much screw penetration (3/16" max) to be supporting some of the heavier items.
Anyone have any first-hand experience with this? Did you build one with 1/4" and wish it were thicker?
