New cabinets

[c.schulz]

--Hey all,
Finally finished the cabinet/workbench for the garage.This is something Ive been
wanting to do ever since I finished the garage a few years ago.Still have more
that i want to do like add a shelf under the upper cabinets that will be for my
everyday items.Thinking of adding another cabinet above the window on the right
with another light.Also some large storage cabinets(6') for the large car
parts.Threw in one of my dog Louey.He seems to be in the way most of the time.
Tell me what you think???

Wow, that looks great!

 

[GearHead_1]

Sweeet!

 

[sboxs]

Chris looks great where did you get them

 

[c.schulz]

Lowes....The box said "Simple Storage". They where the largest cheapest cabinets I could get. Add a 2x4 riser and pulled them out from the wall 12" for a 3' deep counter.
Thanks for the commnts guys.

Nice logical layout. I dig it.

 

[lip277]

Sharp set-up.
Cute little guy too.

Total package looks great. Laid out like you gave it a lot of thought first. Look like Louey might need a set of leg extensions for ground clearance.(just joking,my dog is more welcome in my garage than my wife).

 

[c.schulz]

The uppers are 12" and the lowers are 22" deep. Added 12" to the back of the lowers for a 3' counter that is just made of plywood.So when it gets messed up just unscrew and replace.
Louey is pretty short but he is amazing on how fast he can run and turn.Believe it or not the breed is for herding!!!! Herding what Im not sure???

I used the very same cabinents on the porch of my house. After a couple of years, the particle board has started to swell from the humidity in the Louisiana air. Porch it enclosed and insulated but windows stay open all the time. Particle board cabinents may not be the idle cabinents if your shop is a high humidity area. I know humidity is not a problem for alot of you. Just something to consider

Nice garage....the picture of your dog walking along the floor with the drain pan under the car scares me a bit. I lost a 10yr old Rottweiller years ago who died from bloat after drinking out of a drain pain in the shop.

I love my pets as much as my garage....keep them both safe. Steve

 

[DynoDave]

Those look great!

 

[Mayor]

Very nice set up.

 

[Ratdawg]

Now that is a well lit bench

 

[GarageHonky]

How long are the benches? And what thinkness plywood did you use for the tops?

Again, very nice set up. I am planning something very similar for my garage as well.

Thanks!

22 x 10, the cabinets came with 1" tops and I added 3/4" plywood.Some hardwood for the edge.

Looks great! I wish I had that kind of space.

 

[wythors]

Is your dog always blurry?

Sweet setup. Nice 68 too.

 

[Darren M.]

Those look GREAT!! Is that an over head gas heater I see??

 

[Homercules]

Nice Shop!

It gives me ideas for mine!

Do you have any problems with the heater being that close to the cabinets? I have the identical heater and it can get quite hot on the wall just below the refletor.

Great look!

Chris,

Great looking benches and cabinets! I have seen these at our local Home Depot. I bought a bunch of them to set up my wife's "shop". She is into scrapbooking and rubber stamping so I set her up with L-shaped cabinets and countertops.

I was thinking of doing the exact thing you did for my shop, now I can see how nice they will look. BTW, how did you finish the bench top? Is that laminate on the plywood or did you just paint it? If you painted it, what did you use?

Thanks -

What company does she work with for her scrapbooking and rubber stamps.My wife is a rep for a comany called stampin up.
Tha countertop was just painted plywood.The paint was a miss match from Home depot for $5.When it gets to messed up Ill tear it off and replace.That simple.
Thanks Chris

As a fellow Rotty owner that makes me sad to hear. They really are great pets and have more personality than some people I know.

I have a piece of carpeting in the garage that my Roxanne lays on while I'm tooling in the garage. I always keep a close eye on her and make sure her snout doesn't go near anything that I wouldn't put my snout into.
