GETTING THE SHOP ORGANIZED (Part 10 of ?)…
LOW PROFILE ROLLING TRAYS FOR UNDER THE CABINETS
I started out cutting the channel to length that matched the width of the trays, but realized I needed to use the channel more sparingly.

So I cut the channel to shorter 3.25” lengths to match a double roller set. It ended up being a lot more ends to de-burr, but hopefully now the wheels will run out when I ran out of channel. In this picture, I also have some of the lumber cut to size.

Six of the 8 trays built.

Now all 8. Roller channel and plywood floors have been added.

I decided to initially spray the trays. I made a cardboard box to tightly fit inside it so overspray wouldn’t go everywhere I didn’t want it to.

The paint dried really fast on the 80F day with a little breeze. It was a perfect day to be outside tinkering.

It’s tough to get a consistent glossy paint job on wood with a spray can, so I lined them all up and brushed on a final thick coat of black on the front face that will be seen.

Even that thick final coat dried so fast I didn’t have a chance to drink a beer while watching it dry. On to assembly...

. Funny thing is, that original cabinet started out with a black housing and yellow drawers. I painted the drawers red to match my old Craftsman stuff. Soon it will return to yellow when it moves to the ASYLUM.
