Topic tags/keywords: cheap cabinets garage shop

Hey everyone. Im building some cabinets for the garage to store all non-shop stuff. Ive been doing some designs in sketchup, but I havent found the “magic” cabinet yet. What Im looking for is a cabinet that uses the most of the material to get to the finished product. Is it possible to get 2 decent cabinets per sheet? Im using Big Box birch ply.

I screwed up on the last set of cabs I built and over ordered the amount of melamine sheets I needed so I made the carcasses out of melamine and the drawers I’m making out of 3/4” birch ply. I don’t see you getting 2 cabs out of 1 sheet unless your cabs are 16” wide. -- New Auburn,WI
