Shop Cabinet Featuring Kitchen Utensil Trays

When it comes to this sort of thing …. nobody does it better.

I wonder whether … if you had the interest … there wouldn’t be a commercial market for you, in custom organization for peoples’ wood shops.

Just another great project, Serge !

I’ve been looking at those Lee Valley steel drawers for small items…. glad I held off. When I return from Dollarama..I’ll be getting to work!! This is a brilliant idea!! Wonder how many pounds these trays will support? Excellent!

This one’s going in my favorites.

Great idea! Innovative and look at the money you saved. Use the savings to buy more stuff!
fireone has a good question; are you going to label them?

-- Regret- the feeling you get just after you do something really stupid.

Serge,
You really are Mr. DIY, you allways come up with such wonderful simple and effective ideas.

I am also interested in knowing how the trays hold up when you get some weight in them. I have also been looking at the metal trays similar to this from Lee Valley, but I would guess these are much less expensive. This is a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

I like this cabinet so much that I’m glad few LJ’s are interested as well.

First, no label on the front of the drawers? Nope. I believe this is good to stretch/work out my memory. And I must agree with Fireone: Sometimes surprises and sometiimes frustations. As Dr. Scott Peck’s book title says: I take ‘The Less Travelled Road’.

Second, the following picture shows the heaviest stuff (sorry, treasures) stored in this single drawer: 115.5 oz/7.18 lbs. Watch closely, the drawer is sitting on a scale.

Thanks for stopping by and for your kind words.

Best,

Serge
