I started this project about 3 weeks ago. It began with building these 2 mobile storage units from plans I got from plansnow.com and while I was at it I managed to incorporate a dust collector and a wood rack for small quantities of wood. I even found 2 jointers in the pile you see in the first picture. The storage units were fun to build and they store a lot of stuff and roll smoothly. I only wish I had build 1 extra unit and used casters with toe brakes instead of the brakes that mount to the side of the wheel. Other than that my garage/shop is coming together. Next I’ll build a solid work bench and then it’s base cabinets and work surface with miter saw provisions. 1/4 of the shop organized, 3/4 to go.

Very nice units… looks like they will really hold up… by the way, how to you like that Rockler DC I see in the background? I had the catalog open to that page…

Added to favorites. I am always looking for shop organization help. This is a really good idea…

I really like the Rockler DC. It works great for one tool at a time but for a small shop it works better than a shop vac and it’s very quiet. Well worth the money. Sorry about the fuzzy pictures, I think my IPhone lens had sawdust on it.

Nice job and WHAT a change. Now your task is to fill the place with sawdust and chips.

What a difference. i have seen these plans but I was not sure how practical they really would be. In magazines they are always in the perfect situation. Now you got me thinking they might be good for me. Ah! more work to do.
