A while back I asked for some input on building a rolling tool cabinet. I got some great responses not only on cabinet styles but also help on things like how to mount the drawer boxes on the slides. (which I am greatly appreciative for!) Well this is the result of that thread.
The frame is made of 2x4's ripped down to 1 1/2" square which I put on three coats of clear satin poly. The panels and drawer fronts are 3/4" particle board, and the drawer boxes are 1/2" chineese birch BORG plywood. Definitely not the greatest but it worked ok for this but it did NOT dovetail very well. The top is 3/4" melimine which a buddy of mine donated to the project.
I know it may not be a show piece being made of some pretty basic material but functionallity was my main goal here, and I think I've achived that very well.
Thanks again for all who offered there help and input!
