Bandit you never cease to amaze me how fast you build and finish a project. It's another winner!Plugs done, latches installed, stain applied
Update on that plug cutter, needed sharpened…and a skinny board for the vise on the drill press. was having trouble cutting the plugs..

Once they were made, a small screwdriver could pop them out, dab of glue on the narrow end, and tap into place..

let the glue set a bit. Chisel and a tap with the hammer to trim the plugs down…block plane to smooth things out.
Sharpened the cutter, today..

And made the last 11 plugs. made a road trip to Lowes, and picked up the latches..
![Rectangle Tints and shades Jewellery Font Metal]()
used a tool by Irwin, to start the screw holes..

hard part was setting the latches so they closed the doors up tight..

Then installed the last of the plugs, trimmed them flush, and sanded them smooth..

IF you watch how the grain runs, plugs will almost disappear…almost…Then gave the door#2 a brushed on coat of Witch's Brew..

Added a strip to the bottom edge of #2

And a couple more keepers for the braces..

getting a bit crowded? Chisel rack also got a finish…to protect the steel from the Oak in the rack..

So…I think this is about ready to "open for business"?
![Wood Gas Machine Metal Toolroom]()
just be sure to close the doors, when done..

Might be ready to post as a "Project"?
Insides are still a work in progress, trying to find the best way to stash things…without a crowd…

Piling up in the corners…

Stay tuned..
Shop Cabinet build
Start of a plan, and a mess
Things are getting messy, dis-organized, and just needs something better,,,
![Motor vehicle Gas Machine Engineering Auto part]()
This entire area needs a "facelift" from the left side's messy pile..
![Motor vehicle Helmet Automotive tire Wood Tool]()
All the way to the right..
![Saw Gas Tool Machine Toolroom]()
Lines show the limits I can go to. IF a door would swing open on a new cabinet…it has to clear the plane til.
![Wood Engineering Gas Machine Auto part]()
This side, nears to clear the drill press handles….
I can go until the ceiling joists, about 48" above the benchtop. And 36" in width….maybe. Depth?
![Automotive tire Motor vehicle Automotive exterior Electrical wiring Gas]()
IF I clean off the "back porch", I'd have up to 4' deep….way too much for my arms…
I could slide the drill press to the left a bit…IF need be..
![Automotive tire Motor vehicle Bumper Gas Automotive exterior]()
4" at the most..meh.
Plan is, the next time Menard's has a sale on 1×12 x 4' planks, I'm buying a stack of the best on the pallet….4 planks for the top, bottom and 2 sides. The rest will be for shelves, and any drawers. Doors will get a 2-4" deep frame around a panel. Panel will be used to hang a few tools on. Back of the cabinet will be T&G planks, so I can hang racks, hooks, shelves and such….May just buy a plank of Car Siding? Or, just make my own.
Some of the tools will get sorted through….keeping the better for use, rest over in a drawer…
![Tool Wood Hand tool Set tool Metalworking hand tool]()
Need to sort through this drawer. Other piles need cleaned up..
![Wood Gas Brick Wheel Automotive wheel system]()
Maybe find a better place for the cases? And NOT sitting with the laundry soap…
![Gas Motor vehicle Audio equipment Electrical wiring Toy]()
So..about the first week of April….I'll get the lumber….and then we'll see how this goes…..
Stay tuned….
