The two hanging tool cabinets (above) are 36 in x 36 in x 13 in deep. They are made out of solid maple hardwood and plywood door panels. They hold a variety of tools and they are near the main workbench and there are 2 more workbenchs below. The next few pictures show several more views of the tools. The cabinets are heavy and are hung with two french cleats for each cabinet. Each french cleat on the wall has several long screws mounted in several studs. In addition to that there are several of the same special screws going into the studs through the 3/4 in cabinet backs. The mounting system is over engineered.
Thanks for looking.
