I am a beginner about to build my first cabinet an would appreciate your advice on my current plans.
OK, its just a shop cabinet. Mobile. With Levelers.
My current, tentative plans are:
1. Use 3/4 MDO because plywood is too expensive and MDF too heavy.
2. Use pocket screw joinery because its simple and low cost. Kreg jig inexpensive and don't need a ton of clamps. Will also use glue for additional strength.
3. Base will be a torsion box for stability when moving.
4. Casters will be 3" polyurethene.
5. Will use ?? for leveling. (want to eventually have multiple shop cabinets and benches all at same height and garage floor is far from perfect).
6. Will have 3 small drawers and 2 large slideouts. Will use 200lb capacity slides as will house relatively heavy tools. Best slides are ???. Are manufacturers weight specs trustworthy?
Thanks in advance four you suggestions all of these 6 items.
