  1. Shop Cabinets

    This design evolved from an article in the November 1984 issue of Popular Mechanics magazine. However, I decided to enlarge the tool units and use glass doors instead of solid plywood as shown in that article. This was my first major piece of shop furniture to be designed and built after I...
  2. Oscillating Spindle Sander Cabinet

    This cabinet is mounted on a Mobile Machine Base and can be rolled to any work area in the shop as required. The mobile base has a foot operated control lever which makes raising and lowering the cabinet easy. The base foot lever is currently located in the back. I will be moving the lever to...
  3. More Shop Stuff

    This is my latest addition in my quest for shop organization. I was tired of digging in a tool box drawer everytime I used a hand saw or square. The Japanese hand saws and squares are Bridge City. The three western saws are Crown. The depth gauge is also Bridge City. The cabinet is maple and a...

Here's some specs: Smaller Cabinet: 36"w, 40"h, 11 1/2"d 3/4" birch ply case and shelves (chose the figured "bad" side for the outside - I liked the look) 1/4" birch ply back 2 fixed shelves and 3 adj shelves (kept 2 fixed for stability of case) doors: hard...
  5. Shop Cabinets with a little decoration

    I updated my shop storage with some new cabinets. They are constructed with 3/4 plywood with hemlock trim. I put details of the construction in a blog (the final post is here ). I had thought of the name "Board Room" a while back and had been looking for a way to use it. The big expanse of...
  6. Got Cabinets?

    My wife (and I) wanted more cabinet storage in our garage. I hate open shelving as it gets dusty and cobwebs, etc. I have really tall garage ceilings - might as well build up. These are pretty tall - but I will only place storage things up there that receives seldom use. Or the kids' sports gear...
  7. Shop Base Cabinet with Drawers

    I built this 5' wide base cabinet for some extra shop storage. It has 4 pull out trays, 2 behind a door on each side, and 3 drawers in the middle. I made the whole base and shelves from 2 sheets of 3/4" plywood and one sheet of 1/4" for the drawer bottoms. I used a portion of a 3rd sheet for...
  8. Miter Station Cabinet #2

    This is the 2nd of 2 cabinets that I built to utilize the ridiculous amount of wasted space (picture 5) below the fold up wings of my repurposed tv cabinet miter saw station. The first cabinet that I built is a router table with a flip up lid and tons of storage. That project is in my project...
  9. Basic Shop Drawers

    I recently built a new miter saw station out of 2×4s. I left the bottoms open with the intention of adding different storage options underneath and I just finished the first step: building a set of simple drawers under the drill press module so I can store all my bits and various accessories. I...
  10. Dragons head Axe and shield

    I think this was my first axe and shield set… The shield was made from a very old oak floorboard and uses car body filler as metal detailing. The axe handle is carved in oak and is based on one carved by Ian Norbury. It has inlaid copper details and has a real steel head. (I know its on the...
  11. Its whatever just not a cutting board lol

    My wife asked if I could make something cheap and easy for all of her family (6 people) for Christmas so I went into production mode lol. This is a simple tray made out of Oak and Walnut and finished with wiping varnish. I told them it could be a candle holder or sushi board or cheese serving...
  12. Shop cabinets - my first raised panel doors

    I enjoyed building this set of shop cabinets using raised panels on the doors. I probably would not have gone to such trouble except I'm about to embark on a new set of kitchen cabinets for our home which will be built out of hickory and raised panel doors, some will be arched. This project...
  13. Cope and Stick Cabinet Door - Kaizen Foam Panel (VIDEO)

    Hello fellow LJ'ers I documented this build on my YouTube channel: On this weeks project I decided to cover my upper cabinet with some doors. Not only is this to gain more wall storage back with the kaizen foam, but it will also make my videos look cleaner. I used 3/4" oak hardwood, 1/4"...
  14. Shop Makeover 1- Tool Storage

    Here's the first post of my Garage/Workshop Redo. I've built all new workshop cabinets to make my half of our two car garage usable for my projects. This one is for my routers, palm sanders and other handheld power tools as well as whatever else I can think to stuff in it. Closed it is 36" wide...
  15. New WorkShop Cabinets

    Just finish these Shop Cabinets - Been working on them for about 3 months. Use a minimalist cabinet construction. Use Poplar to make the drawers (dovetail all joints) Drawer fronts and edge banding done with Oak. All solid wood came from trees we cut down from our property when we built the...
  16. Shop Cabinets $70 Tax included.

    My second project post. Should be posted on Matthews LJ as well since he did just as much as I. Anyhoodle, 3 sheets 5/8 Ply, 1 Sheet Masonite, 1 value pack hinges, 95% pocket hole construction. Cheap, functional. Not pleased with the corbels, a little on the large side but meh, they will do...
  17. Shop cabinets under lathe

    I built these cabinets under my lathe. I found the basic design from pictures I found on google. There is an opening under the cabinets that is used to house the ballast (100lbs. sand). The three cabinets are screwed to the base. They are made with 3/4" ply. The drawers are made with 1/2" Baltic...
  18. Designing Woodworking Projects
    I am turning one of my bedrooms into a wood shop. I have lumber shelves and scrap bins on one wall. I want to build an L shaped counter that is 6 feet by 2 feet on one wall and 8 feet by 2 feet on the adjoining wall. I plan to use 4 X 4 posts spaced every 4 feet, with 2X4x as the frame. My...
  19. Designing Woodworking Projects
    My first attempt at building cabinets of any type. These will be for my garage shop. I decided on two sets of 48 inch outside dimentsion wide cabinets that will have 4 drawers.
