recyled file drawers

Those are the HANDIEST storage drawers for tools, but hard to find cheap or free!

Good catch!

YES! Over the years I’ve always scrounged metal fixtures and cabinets from offices, labs, machine shops and hospitals and re-purposed them in my woodworking shop. By keeping your eyes open for unconventional souces for furnishing your shop you can save lots of cash. Often this stuff is on commercial-grade castors, too!

Nice score! I’d have been on that like white on rice!
Any reason you didn’t want to use the original drawer label holders?

You Lucky Dog!! :^)

Great catch. I’ve only been able to find the smaller ones, over the years, but they do come in handy. This is a nice size. A place for everything and everything in it’s place.

Trucker they look like old map cabinets, great for tool storage. Lucky you.

Great find! I think you owe your son a cold one!

They work great. Good find. I was lucky enough to get a set very similar to these myself. I most certainly put them to use. I like what you did to create dividers.

Nice cabinets. They are built well and have a lot of space.

ratchet, my handwriting is bad enough without trying to fit everything on a small sized card. If i did that even I wouldn’t be able to read it, lol
