Not a very significant project as my first listing but with limited ceiling height I need to think about storage space as well as dust collection ducting I will be adding in the future. The cabinets are just melamine conti board from the home centre screwed together with drywall screws and some scrap 1/4” ply I painted and used as the backer board.
These particular cabinets are for my seemilngy endless stock of screws…I think I must be a screw nut, just can’t get enough of them Lol If I have enough space left I’ll store my finishes up here too.
I need to build some more cabinets and a tool chest, I’ve got some mahogany for that project reclaimed from desks at work when they went all modern and replaced them with stainless steel and plastic laminate. I couldn’t get into the dumpster quick enough to haul it back out!
Next project will be a work table, I’m getting to old and stiff to be working ion the floor all the time
I’ll get around to building some doors at some point.

Hi David
Good looking set of cabinets. Very nicely done. Being made out of melamine should make them easier to keep clean. Love to see a neat, organized shop. Thanks for posting. If you put this in projects you might get more feed back.

Hiyya David,
One thing’s for sure….. you can never have enough cabinets and storage in the shop…. Looks like you got a good start on yours….yours looks better than my first ones….they were pretty bad…lol. It’s tough to have stuff, and nowhere to put that stuff…..I’ve got a couple of items I just built I want to show you….I’ll send you a PM…..well it’s about 7:45 pm now, so you’re probably in the land of nod…...lol. Carry on with the build, my friend…..Things are shaping up…...Your American amigo….me.

Thanks for the feedback gents, kinda nice to have positive feedback from two guys with fab shops, something to aspire to I think.

Thanks for looking devann, I’m still very much at the setting up stage although I have just started my work table/bench. It might be a couple of weeks before I find the time to finish it.
I am too still trying to work out how to post projects into relevant fields. I’ve never been one for IT.
