From Bank to Shop - Cabinets

[ssffnomad]

Was able to buy 16' of Bank Cabinets, i used 12' on this run. Put down Pressure Treated Frame, left them off the wall, as they are only 20" deep. They have Ball Bearing Drawer Slides.

On second thought, these are better than a "you ****".
I HATE YOU!! : > )

 

[wornoutoldman]

Although you did not mention a price I'll go out on a limb here and say you ****... Great score!

 

[930dreamer]

[colt zantop]

those are nice cabinets! ok..lets hear it...what did you pay?!

 

[Bib Overalls]

Yup. No question. You ****.

 

[Rolling_Thunder]

very nice!!!!

 

[oak_park]

Nice score. I was just looking at friend of mine who scored a couple of bank cabinets, the doors on them were very thick too. Those will make nice tool vaults. lol

I tried buying a similar set but lost them at auction, was able to buy some office furniture.

YUP YOU **** and you double **** if they just happened to match the color band on your wall.

 

[Falcon67]

Sweet - excellent score! Looks bullet proof. You're ******* the GJ USuck meter on this one. (like the old Queen for a Day meter)

 

[kbs2244]

That is too sweet to be believed.

It is a great example of my preaching to look out for your local auctions, going out of business sales, etc.
Cash and a truck will get you some great deals.

 

[dittle fart around]

Looks like you need a couple of cash drawers.

 

[Jagmandave]

(like the old Queen for a Day meter)

God, you must be older than dirt if you remember the old Queen for a Day sobfest! (like me!)

 

[Richard Cranium]

They really look great, how much did you pay... U ****... Rich.

 

[Steevo]

. . . . . (like the old Queen for a Day meter)

Dude, you are really showing your age . . .

ssffnomad:

Those are really some nice cabinets!
Did they have steel upper cabinets too?

Oh, and you ****, big time!

 

[GirlnAgarage]

Those are great cabinets. Are you going to put on a bench top?

 

[ssffnomad]

I know, "I ****".
No upper Cabinets. Bought off Craigs, from a Gentleman who run a Eurporen Sports Car Shop out of a Big Old Metal Dairy Pole Barn. He is scaling back from 6 guys to 2.
I have OSB on lower, Sheetrock above. Trying to come up with a Backsplash material to cover area between Bench Top and Red Board.
For the Benchtop, i have 2"x4'x8' Hardwood out of a School Shop, we took out of Dumpster w/permission. Going to Cut down to 30"x8'. Should be fun, as it has Angle Iron sides with Steel Rods across.
For the Right side of benchtop, may use Solid Surface countertop. Have some taken out of "99" restaurant rehab dumpster with permission.

 

[ssffnomad]

Cost of Cabinets was $ 15.00 per ft. Do i **** ?
Finally got some time to put into Benchtop.

Glued and Clamped togeather with Biskets.

 

[ssffnomad]

I think the material is Maple. Gave it one shot of Red Mahogany. 3 Coats of Semi Oil Poly

Made the old Angle Iron work, welded the Joints

 

[ssffnomad]

Now i have to find a Steel Plate to go under Vise

 

[CO535i]

any "silent alarm" buttons in them drawers. Nice looking top, congrats.

 

[ssffnomad]

Thank You.

 

[Jack Olsen]

That's a great bench.

 

[LSU]

Jealous.

I really like the angle iron around the top. I may have to steal this idea.

Very, very nice.

 

[genesis]

Very nice.

 

[MyKingdom]

Nice Score. Also, Great job on the Top.

 

[Eagle Point]

Someone in one of the above post mentioned the TV show "Queen For A Day" made me laugh. Many years ago my parents took me to Disneyland and while we were in So Cal we went to a taping of Queen for a day and Truth or Consequences. Wow, that was a few years ago............ Anyway, my buddy worked for BofA in the warehouse and got me 10 storage cabinets ( the beige ones in the picture) 18"D x 36"W with shelves and keyed alike for the garage, very sturdy. It is amazing the deals that were offered back in the day.

 

[ssffnomad]

Eagle Point, nice setup. Any chance you are a **** Man ?

 

[ket-tek]

Oh yeah, that sh*t is awesome! I like it.

 

[atotalnincompoop]

You ****!

On second thought, these are better than a "you ****".
I HATE YOU!! : > )

 

[green.bubbly]

15 bucks a foot certainly qualifies you for the "you ****" club. Do you happen to have the keys to the locks?

 

[ssffnomad]

I have no Keys. Thanks everybody, for letting me know. " I ****"

 

[Zeke]

Outstanding and built hell for stout.
