My first home-made shop cabinet

Wow, very nice. I like how the grain is continued from drawer to drawer. Did you resaw boards to do that?

Thats almost too nice for a shop cabinet. Nice work.

Great cabinet! I like it! Plenty of storage space. Reminds me of the one I made for my planer some years ago. Did you ever think about putting locking casters on it so you can roll it around the shop? I mounted 2 1/2” casters on mine. Plenty big to carry the weight. Rick D.

Jimi_C: The drawer fronts are just nice plywood (from Lowes). I cross cut a piece 30” wide (the width of the drawers) and then ripped each drawer face in order (bottom first, then next drawer up and so on…)

And I was wondering what I was going to do for more storage…yes, you gave me an idea.

nice… but if you did have this on wheels (locking casters), do you think it would tip if you pulled a drawer out? Does it need to be fastened to the wall? Seems with the toe kick, I assume a wall cabinet?

Two of these could be support pedestals for a workbench top? Lots of ideas here. Thanks.
