Also making progress on the bench top and building a backsplash for it. I decided to go with a thick backsplash butted against the back edge of the top, to move the front edge out a bit. I hated not having a clamping edge on my bench at the old house, so that will be fixed with the new one...

Thanks she's the best! And she quickly found her way up via the workbench [emoji4]

Lol that's a box with misc metal pieces for TIG practice. I got the box and some thick aluminum parts from my dad a few weeks ago [emoji23]

I've got two Strong Hold double shift cabinets in 48" wide (steel divider in middle so you have two separate, locking compartments), a 60" wide floor model (no divider, just 5 shelves that are full width), and a 36" all bins cabinet. I paid $600 each, which is a lot, but they're so hard to find...

She's not going anywhere!! Best cat I've ever owned- by my side 24/7 like a dog, doesn't claw at furniture, softly kneads my gut to show some love. The other two are good shop cats, too, but this little calico is awesome.

Am I taking crazy pills? Sell 72" KRL? Solid advice all around. I love the Emglo!! It's a GT2-B 60 gallon that I got out of a machine shop. It was the backup to the big IR screw compressors and didn't get too much use. Put a single phase motor on it, mag starter, new sheave, and it's...

That is an incredible amount of storage. My wife would hang my from the rafters if I tried getting that many cabinets [emoji23]

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately the pics make the Listas 100x better than they are in real life. Very rough paint, a lot of surface rust (for AZ anyway), and the bearings are all pretty gummed up. Pretty much have to do something to keep myself sane.

I was hoping for consensus here!! Thanks for the input, everyone. This is the rest of my storage, not just for tools, but car parts, jack stands, battery chargers, tarps- all the garage stuff. So I'm pretty sure I could manage everything without the SO box, but it's just so damned pretty and...

So I'm getting settled into my new house and garage. Found some old Lista cabinets that were very cheap. I just wanted them as bases for a workbench, but I'm wondering if I should use them as tool storage as well. Now that I have a Strong Hold full of bins, I don't really need to store parts in...

Finally got my new Strong Holds home. With the wife's input, we decided to move things around. Since we have the 18' wide door, moving the cabinets to the wall next to her car would allow accessing them, and still park two cars in comfortably. My bench top also ended up being longer than I...

Had a good craigslist day. I think I'll have to post this in the tools sub as well [emoji3] $60:

Yay Craigslist. 140"x30" butcher block bench top. $150. Just needs a bit of sanding and will be perfect. And for less than I could build a top out of 2x2s and laminate them, since I'd need good, straight ones.

One down. Time for a bigger paint 'booth'.

Ha this has been so much mess and work already, and I'm not doing it to my typical obsessive standards. Will probably be selling my 60" tall Lista now, since these and the new Strongholds will hold everything currently in the Lista. Would love for it to go to a GJ member.

Getting close to 33% done. This has already been a ton of work.

Unless like me your HOA gives you free water [emoji16][emoji16]

Making progress on restoring the cabinets, although space is limited for my overspray screen- don't want gray primer and paint on everything. Should have one set of drawers primed by tonight and painted tomorrow. Then on to the next box.

Yep, although I'm not going too crazy with resto, they look even worse in person than in photos. The aluminum handles are really rough, so they'll just get sprayed with the drawers for now, and may cover them in vinyl. Found a decent industrial grade automotive paint that matches the Strong Hold...

Here's the sides of the slides.
