Topic tags/keywords: cabinets dust

Need to build cabinets in the workshop. Want to store magazine and books, etc. How do I make these cabinets as dust proof as possible?
Thanks – I know you guys will have the answer.

Flanged doors with weather stripping might work.

Chunky:
Don’t know yet how it will work but I’m putting the finishing touches on some cupboards in my shop this weekend and I’m using the technique suggested by Kindlingmaker. I made frame and panel doors and there are 2 per opening. Where they meet I have complimentary rabbets. I hadn’t planned to weather strip that joint. Still thinking about it.

Positive pressure with a small fan and a filtered intake should do it.

I would build a deep cabinet with doors on them. I think cabinet needs to be at lease 24’’ deep.

Besides the weatherstrip, paint them with a high gloss paint.

Buy a dust collector for the tools and a down draft table for sanding. You could also use a shop vac and attach the hose to the sander. If you’re making that much dust to have to worry about it getting into the cabinets then it’s time to upgrade the dust collection system.
