Shop Storage

[cfellows]

This is the project I was working on when I boogered up my left index finger on my tablesaw a couple of weeks ago.

The cabinet, including the smaller drawers on the left was built a number of years ago. This past couple of weeks I was building the larger drawers on the right to replace what had been a couple of shelves. I finally finished and installed he drawers this weekend. The new drawers are all 28" wide by 20" front to back. They range in depth from 8.5" on the bottom to 3.5" on the top and they ride on full extension drawer slides that I picked up on Ebay for about $5 a set. They're built entirely from 1/2" baltic birch plywood except the drawer fronts which are 3/4" thick Poplar. I was ripping the second drawer front from the bottom to width when I had my accident.

The cabinet frame was built from square steel tubing, welded together and mounted on 4" casters so it could be rolled around. The side panels are 3/4" thick plywood and the top is 3/4" thick particle board. I also built a twin of the cabinet (mirror image) at the same time. Each cabinet is 48" x 24" x 36" tall.

Nice work Chuck.
I like lots of drawers in the shop. And You were thinking of selling the woodworking tools????
just remember to keep the fingers away from all sharp spinny things that bite.
Good to hear the talon is healing.
