So I'm putting together a homeowner toolkit for storage inside the house so we don't have to go out to the garage to grab tools when they are needed. Much of this is coming from spares I have in my garage set, so it actually helps me to get them out of the cramped tool cart and off the pegboard...

its about 42 inches wide (exterior width)

^^^what they said.

mishenka, I just used 1x2 lumber to build a frame and then mounted the whole assembly to the wall. The only downside is that you lose the ability to use the outer two holes all the way around due to the frame back there. I would have loved to get steel pegboard, but the budget wouldn't allow...

By the way, the corner unit was just cut to fit whatever hole was left over after mounting the left and right bank. I purposefully angled it such that the opening would be larger than it would have been at a 45*. Plus, my bench top isn't 24" deep on both legs. The left leg is 24", but the...

It's just a Freud 1" flush bit in a Ryobi plunge router. Seems to work fine for my applications.

alright, some measurements... The pegboard is 15 inches tall. The cabinets above the bench are all 12 inches deep by 24 inches tall. Each unit in the bank on the left is 24 inches wide (interior width) and each unit in the bank on the right is 32 inches wide (interior width). Add 1.5 inches...

I'm with this guy. Although I may not have waited until I rolled the truck out into an open area.

I didn't want a condo/townhome when we were looking a few years ago becuase I felt that it was essentially an apartment with a mortgage payment. The townhouse we were in was a 1200 sf, with a 2 car garage, but units on both sides of us. I didn't want shared walls anymore, so we started looking...

John, You have no idea how much planning this took. I must have drawn up 5 or more different layouts for each of the units, using slightly different dimensions for width, shelf height, shelf frame material, etc, just trying to get something I was comfortable with that used as little materials...

Freddy, I'll try to remember to get some measurements tonight and post em up. Both shelves in the smaller "car care" cabinet have roughly the same open vertical space. Its a few inches taller than the paper towel roll, so I guess roughly 14-15 inches. I was willing to accept the 4"+ for the...

Thanks! And welcome to the board.

^^^that cabinet is only about 15" deep and it's closer to 40-42" long.

Stuey, those Dewalt boxes look great, and they aren't retarded expensive. Looking forward to your review.

Thanks all. Yes, these will be painted at some point, or at least a coat or two of primer. I planned the workbench cabinets using 24" wide units on the left and 36" wide units on the right. I wanted them shorter, so the shelves would be less likely to sag over time. The corner shelf was...

It is a two car garage and everything encroaches no more than 24" into the space. Once the last of the "stuff" is dealt with, there should be plenty of space to work on the car or the next woodwoorking project. When planning out the larger unit, I made a mistake and didn't really take into...

I built the 2x4 frames on the ground and then lagged each frame to the studs.

Yep, Kreg pocket hole jig. 250+ pocket holes I think. It took probably 5 or 6 times as long to cut everything as it did to drill the pocket holes and assemble everything. Well worth the $100 for the jig. I had to do this only 2 or 3 hours at a time while my son was down for his naps on the...

Phase 3 was finished some time ago and I finally decided on what to do with the walls above the workbench; I added some pegboard and cabinets. I still plan on some form of covering for the large units, probably just a canvas tarp. The smaller cabinets to the right of the workbench and the...

I went to Western too a few years back. If that's the B'ham area, you must be out there. I don't recall seeing that much space anywhere near town or campus. Looks like its going to be a great building.
