A**holes Garage, So what kind of mobile shelving or cabinets do you have? How would you build a cabinet on casters for an uneven floor? The uneven floor problem is why I have decide to build them fixed to the wall. I've seen the lifting/leveling casters but I think they are a bit pricey. Thanks

Buening, Those cabinets look good! What paint did you use and did you edge band your plywood doors? I have decided to scrap the mobile cabinet idea and build some built ins. Also decided to go a full 8ft tall... May as well since I need the storage space. I picked up some 1/2" & 3/4" birch...

Your cabinets look good. That is similar to what I have in mind. In regards to the adjustable shelving strips, if you were to build the cabinets again, would you just ad an extra strip like you said or go with an entirely different product? Do you have any more pictures on any other threads? Thanks

You got me thinking, my engine hoist may go up high enough to hook onto the cabinets to move them around. I think it goes up to about 8ft but I'd need to check the angle of the boom at that height and look at a few other things but that could be a viable option. Thanks!

After reading some more I think if I want them to be mobile I will have to have some sort of leveling feet because of my uneven floor issue. Don't really see a way around that. I may just have to build some built in cabinets. Maybe one on each side of a smaller workbench, my workbench is 16ft...

Could always do something similar to Rikon's mobile base for its band saws. Have two wheels on one side and fixed legs on the other side and use a tow bar to lift and move it around but that doesn't solve the uneven floor problem near the walls.

csp, I was just kidding around. LXCam, Not making excuses but then I'd have to buy and store a pallet jack. None the less good idea. Thanks

csp, Your right, but when this huge cabinet comes falling down, it may shake things up a bit.

The problem with a 30" deep cabinet is I would have a lot of waste in regards to the plywood. I could build the cabinets with the 4ft wide X 6ft high X 2ft deep dimensions and put it on an over sized base with out much waste but then that will be taking up even more floor space.

Could build it with the same dimensions but increase the depth of the base by 6 inches. Then make the doors out of 2x6's on edge to have some door storage for spray cans, power tools and similar items. 6 more inches is 25% more depth, more stability, and could still maximize a sheet of plywood...

Hello everyone, Been reading on here for years and joined in June of last year but never introduced myself. I live in a subdivision on the outskirts of Houston but was lucky enough to find a house with the 3 car detached "shop". 23' X 33' I already have it filled with tools and machinery and in...

nadogail, I had that size in mind to maximize a sheet of plywood. What size would you suggest then?

I pretty much have everything mobile now, Delta Unisaw, out feed table, jointer, planer, band saw, miter saw, router table, dust collection, welder, cutting torch... Only machines that will never be "mobile" are my lathes.

Zendriver, I am in a similar situation, 3 car detached garage. Its full of machines and tools. I lack storage options and its hindering my ability to stay organized and be productive. I should have done it right to begin with but I didn't Only other issue I may have is, about 6 inches from the...

I had a similar idea but this suggestion would make it a bit more rigid. Also, I didn't realize that was my 1st post. Thought I did that back when I joined.
