Workshop Cabinet-tall-1.JPG

Tall Storage Cabinet

I built this cabinet recently to replace an older-smaller cabinet.  It holds hand and power tools, boxes of nails and screws, etc.  I made the cabinet from pine and some left over 1/4" oak paneling.  I decided to use the 1/4" paneling on the sides to help reduce the weight.  The larger drawers have self closing drawer slides and the smaller drawers have simple center guides.  The overall dimensions are 19"W x 18"D x 60"H.

Small Cabinet

I built this cabinet recently as an upgrade to the one that I made when I first got my drill press in '82.  The cabinet holds anything related to "drilling".  The 3 larger drawers have self closing drawer slides and the smaller top drawer has a simple center guide. The overall dimensions are 20"W x 18"D x 26"H.

Ed's Storage Cabinet - (3/2007)

This is a combined tool and storage cabinet that I'm making for a friend.   The overall dimensions are 28" x 17" x 80".  Since my basement woodshop is only 80" high I'm building the cabinet in two pieces, each 40" high, and attach them when they are delivered.  Actually, the two pieces will make it easier to transport anyway.

Greg's Tool Cabinet #2 - (10/2008)

This is the second tool cabinet that I made in October of 2008 for my son's new woodshop.  It was an idea that I had that started with a base cabinet of drawers and then slowly evolved into a cabinet on a cabinet.  The door and internal drawers were added in the final design phase.
