Dream Shop (in progress)

Looks great. I am a fan of the lower priced wood at the big box stores. Great for my entry level practice. I would recommend some levelers on the bottom of the cabinets. The guys pouring concrete are not big on perfectly level, so you end up out of alignment when you put nice square cabinets on this uneven surface. The levelers on my cabinets have come in very handy. My last garage had a low spot that required about 2in of elevation across my 12’ section of benches.

Looks great. Just as a side note you may want to look into buying S2S (surfaced on the faces, the edges are still rough) lumber from a hardwood dealer as you can generally get it for much cheaper and milling it up your self. Of course you have to joint the edges which can be done with a router, table saw or of course a jointer. Anyway your shop is looking good, nice cabinets.

These cabinets look first-rate in my book. I’d say you are ready to take on the kitchen.

Humm I found Poplar at home despot to be twice the price of what I pay at a wholesaler. Nice cabinets. You could post those on Homerefurbers.com also.

With a shop that nice, my family would never see me unless they visited.

Those cabinets look like they will hold a bunch of tools. Any though as to what you are going to use for the counter top?

What a shop. You could go to work for a cabinet shop anytime by the looks of those cabinets. Very nice job. I work in a cabinet shop and I wish I had the time to make cabinets for my shop. But then again, I don’t have much room for too many cabinets. I have a rather small home workshop.
