Painted steel wall cabinets from McMaster Carr. With most of my equipment backed against the paint booth, the space above was wasted, so bolting these to the booth provided some much needed storage...
What do your Storage Cabinets look like?

Robert you have me drooling over your sheet metal equipment, I badly need a source for equipment like that!
i built this a few years back because my roll around was getting too full. Now this is full and i may have to build something else
Dave
very sharp!!
I just got mine installed not too long ago. They are Diamond Innovative Garage DIG6 kits. I really like them. My one car garage was so cluttered, these things really helped. I still have some cleaning to do but here are some pictures of them...
3ft wide tall cabinet sits in the corner on the opposite wall next to the tool boxes. Thinking about getting another tall cabinet to replace the white one on the left.
@lowheat, good use of a small space. What is the width of your garage? How much clear do you have with the cabinets and benches installed?

I like what you did on the bases, one could just build door fronts screw em on and your off.

Diacro model 16-24, rated at 8 tons IIRC, the nice part is the small size and manual operation, comes in handy for making patch panels, etc. Purchased used, I probably have a little over 1K in the two of them. Just to stay on topic, here's a picture of the storage cabinets mounted above the brakes...........

How did you make the racetrack layout that is on the wall? Which track is it? Nice looking garage for sure.

I got the paint from Sherwin-Williams and didn't really match it to anything. Sorry, I don't remember the color name. The inspiration was the blue color of my Atlas lift, but the cabinet paint is actually a little lighter blue.

VCT, Vinyl Composition Tile, same as used in places like Walmart and Target. It is 1/8" thick, and goes down with a special glue. It is very durable.
Thanks Jack, not as slick as yours, but getting there.

Jim,
the garage looks great. The cabinets are straight and level. Kudos to the builder of your house for keeping the floor and walls plumb level.

Thanks! They did pretty good there. I just wish they had spent a bit more time on the mudding of the drywall there in the garage!

I like the rounded edges on the storage cabinets. We've been hitting the flea markets and antique shops in the Bay Area and have seen a few of these but not many. They are very cool.

I'm surprised I haven't seen any of the Performax inexpensive metal cabinets from Menards found here: http://www.menards.com/main/shelvin...max-2-door-wall-cabinet/p-1458890-c-13051.htm
Does anyone use these? How is the quality, are they flimsy?

I couldn't afford the real expensive cabinets like Lista, although I lusted after them. I went with the NewAge Pro Diamond series when I redid my garage and I have been very happy with them so far, little over a year. Here is a shot of half of them. I have another section, with one less large cabinet, on the other side of my garage.

They look pretty cool.
We're having a close out sale on the Diamond Plate Pro-Series NewAge Cabinets for the month of October. NewAge is bringing in a new style of diamond plate cabinet in the Performance Line. To close out the Pro-Series Diamond Plate Cabinets we're offering an additional 20% off the "build your own" prices of 15% off orders over $1000.00 and 20% off orders over $3000.00.
The close out extra 20% includes the Pre-configured Pro-Series Diamond Plate sets shown on our website. These sets are already discounted for the dollar amount, but you'll get 20% off the price listed for the sets.
This would be a good time to add some more cabinets to your garage.

I currently have some cheap-o white melamine/particle board cabinets from Home Depot. After having one break and fall off the wall onto the hood of my truck, I'm dedicated to erradicating all particle board from my shop! It's all metal for me from here on out.
Those New Age cabinets looks nice! Are they sturdy enough? If you plop a gallon of paint down on one of the shelves they won't buckle? I was in Ikea yesterday and noticed some sheetmetal cabinets that I deemed much to lightweight for the abuse they'd see in my shop. I'm wondering if the low price on the Menard's cabinets reflects too light of metal as well. I have a sheet metal fab shop, do powdercoating, and *could* build my own cabinets, but if they are around $150/set it isn't worth my time.
