New cabinets for my workshop's "Tool Crib"

[Randy Caswell]

Over the recent holiday break I got out my hand dandy Kreg Jig and built 16 linear feet of tool storage cabinets for my workshop's "Tool Crib".

Here are the base units. Notice the pocket holes in the drawers;

Here are the upper units;

Here are the units painted and installed looking down the room to the left. Notice the pocket holes up under the cabinets;

And here is the cabinets looking the other way;

My 77 year-old father-in-law helped and fell in love with the Kreg Jig.

Thanks for looking!

Did you use a 3/8 roundover bit for your drawer fronts and doors on your great looking cabinets.? Your cabinets is every shop owner's dream.

[Jim Carroll]

That is so cool now I have shed envy.

Only one thing I would add is lighting under the overhead cupboards because when you stand in front of the bench the overhead light is behind you so you will be casting a shadow over your work area.

Great project!

[Glenn Whalen]

Ok now that's Awesome....I now officially have..... Garage Envy.

Nice Work..

They were of my own design. I just followed basic cabinet building rules.

[Mark Werle]

These are fantastic!! Did you have designs for these or did you design everything yourself? I would love to install something similar in my garage.

Awesome project.

Thanks for showing how you used the pocket screws on the drawers. I will file that method away to use later.

Cabinet grade 22/32 inch plywood that Home Depot sells for $24 a sheet. The entire project including hardware and paint came to a little under $500. Cheap compared to buying tool boxes.

those are nicer than my kitchen cabinets. what kind of wood did you use?

[Joseph Scharle]

Whoa! That's a body of work. Nice!
