Standing Tool Cabinet

Project by Chris posted 247 days ago 825 views 6 times favorited 7 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Seems like I’ve been building a lot of storage lately. This came from plans in ShopNotes. It’s a pretty goodsized cabinet with a decent amount of drawer space. The moldings were made from the same stock as the cabinet on the router table. There is a shelf that i managed not to capture near the bottom that I keep some larger jigs on as well. All in all I’m pretty happy with it, and it’s one of the better looking things in my shop.

Hey Chris this is a nice looking unit. I really like the 2 panel doors. I have that door on all the cabinets in my house. I see that the bottom 2 drawers use metal extensions for rolling smoothly (make up a description when you can’t remember what they are called). Are the smaller drawers inside the cabinet on drawer guides (I knew it would come to me) too?

Hi Gary,
The drawers inside the doors are made as an assembly that goes in after the carcase is complete. These drawers have dadoes on the sides of the drawer and runners on the box that they ride on.

You think you had trouble remembering something – I had to go downstairs to see how they were set up!

I can never make something that nice for my shop. I always slam something together that just makes do. Nice addition to your shop.

Very Nice,

I wish I had something like this, although I don’t really have the room for it, it sure would be nice to have all my tools in one spot, I was just using my block plane the other day and now, you know the rest. I can’t find it
until I don’t need it.

Great Job
