Homemade cabinets finally finished last night. I built the boxes last fall, but with a complete re-do of the garage it took a while to get a finish on them.
They are made of 3/4" plywood, with pocket screw construction. Face frames and door frames were made out of a bunch of 1x6 material that was ripped to the correct widths. I have several hundred board feet of this material. Door panels were made of left over beadboard plywood from the soffit of our covered porch.
The center cabinet is a Harbor Freight 13-drawer box that I disassembled and painted, inside and out. It won't hold any tools as my workbench is on a sidewall and have another 13-drawer box and a couple of roll aways with top boxes on them. The wall area above the HF box is being reserved for a 41" LCD. The homebuilt drawer cab will have a butcher block countertop. I've been looking on craigslist for a while, but am coming up empty. We recently had an Ikea open up close by, so I'll get one of theirs once the crowds die down there a bit.
I still have to trim out the base platforms to cover the gap at the front. There's a fair amount of slope in the slab.
Now that these are done I can finally start moving in my welders, drill press, hydraulic press, and lots of stuff that will go in these cabinets. Right now the stuff that's in them is just there to get it out of the way. Lots of organizing to come along with a small section of pallet racking to the left of these cabinets.
