shop cabinet

Cathy,
Looks great! What type of wood is used for the cabinet?

-- Hailey, ID

Good looking and extremely functional, Cathy.

Hi Cathy,

This is a nice cabinet and towel holder. The cabinet provides much needed storage and the towel holder is an absolute necessity in the shop.

Good job and thanks for the post.

Great Solution. There can never be too many drawers and shelves in a shop.

Nice cabinet. Organization is a great thing to have in the shop. I’d like to find where to get some.

-- Maplewood, MN

I’m trying to get organized too!... I really like the functionality of this. I need something like this with the dividers. Thanks for the ideas!

Looks great. Nothing like having things in order.

Now that is functional and creates quite a bit of organization. NICE job!

Thanks for all the nice comments. I had to wait till Darryl got home to find out what he made it out of. I wasn’t there when he did it. It’s made out of 3/4 inch birch plywood. The bottom cabinet top has 3/4 inch plywood and on top of that 1/4 inch brown hard board. The bottom piece is 23 inch deep and 49 inches wide. And the trim on that is 3/4 inch. The top secton also plywood and 48 inches by 48 inches. Then he just made sections and cut the pieces of 1/4 inch to make those. The bottom drawers are as deep as the cabinet which really makes a good space for his bigger tools. Plus he did section the drawers out too. Those aren’t removeable. It’s amazing how much we can put in this. Now to get him to make some more but they will be smaller drawers. Thanks again.

Looks like a NYW inspired cabinet. Very nice. I think I need one.

I am thinking that the NYW stands for “nagging young wife?” I’ll take the YOUNG part…LOL But acutally Darryl decided HE wanted to be able to find things and have a spot for it. My side? I can find it in a flash..even my pencils now! It can get frustrating when you can’t find something when you do a project. I think he’s finally getting my theory. Not a nag..but I have to close the door between us as I can’t take all that yelling..WHERE’S this or that! Then I have to stop to show him where he left it from the last time, geesh. I’m just waiting to see if he actually puts things back in the place they should be. I know he never does that in the house! LOL But it is going to be pretty nice as long as he uses it. Thanks all for looking at the project and the nice comments.
