Tool cabinet build.

[Revronnie]

This is the cabinet I built to help protect and store some of my bulkier tools in the garage. I'm new to the forum and wanted to get y'all's input.

Nice set up. Hard to tell since I am on my phone but what is in single space on back of cabinet?

Is there a stop for the miter saw tray?

 

[Zrexxer]

I think you need a bigger dropcloth when you paint... lol.

Looks like you thought things out well.

 

[Revronnie]

@captian14 the single space in back is going to be for my air tools.

@Zrexxer lol yea I work with what I got!

[FTWingRiders]

[Revronnie]

Nice, I plan on making a drawer cabinet when I get some free time for my shop.

Hardware hut has good prices on slides and just about everything.

I think that's awesome. I've been trying to figure out a way to get all of the items that need to be kept in their organized trays out of my toolbox to open up some room as well. Maybe I just need to buy a car, or build something that would work for me like you did.

 

[Terranova]

Did you put any reinforcement on the back of the pegboard? Is it heavy enough that it won't begin to sag or rack after having weight on it for awhile?
Otherwise well thought out. Glad you put it on casters.

 

[Steevo]

That looks like a good efficient use of space.

 

[Revronnie]

Terranova I am debating that. The peg board is on the same sliders as the miter saw drawer. It looks sturdy so far. I'm glad its on casters too. 5/8ths plywood wasn't light.

Nice job. Nothing beats custom built storage. Unfortunately now that you have joined this board, I predict you will quickly outgrow it.

Welcome and thanks for sharing.

 

[Revronnie]

Hahaha you are probably right!

Rev. Ronnie

 

[usmc_noma]

Looks good there rev. Are you planning on adding any doors to keep dust out?

 

[Spareparts]

Nice Job; well thought out and +2 on the door's, in my shop it's the mud dobbers that get into every nook and cranny.

 

[Revronnie]

Thanks usmc_noma. I don't have plans for doors. I do all my cutting outside and the garage stays generally clean.

Nice work - I like the way you used the plywood for custom shelves. How did you attach it at the edges? I've used plywood that way before, and I've used nails, screws, glue, etc., but I haven't decided which works best yet.

 

[Revronnie]

Thanks. I used 18 gauge nails and wood glue.

Can you post the over all size of the cabinet? Ht, width, depth? I am try ing to estimate a size without wasting material.

Thanks

Looks like a lot of thought went into your design... I like the slide out shelf.

 

[rburke65]

Looks real nice and obviously some thought went into that!

 

[Terranova]

I built my over head cabinets out of 3/4" too. After I got them assembled I was like "oh ****, am i gonna be able to get these eight feet up?!" Lol. I picked up the "over build" habit from my dad. Build that that ******* like a tank!

 

[Nick G]

Wow! Looks nice.

 

[Revronnie]

Captain14 Overall dimensions are 70.25 tall 23.5 wide 27.75 deep.

Thanks I will do some drawings this weekend with your numbers here.

I like it! I need a way to wrangle my Stanley bin boxes. I'm thinking I may build one of these, but with a stationary shelf with an open back for my planer.

 

[Bears Fan]

Nice design!

Nice job. I have to show this to my wife. Looks like just the ticket for her furniture shop.
