A problem many of us face is having sufficient space for our workshop. I just added 3 cabinets I built from Birch Plywood to my garage workshop. They are really a great addition, but I seem to add tools faster than storage space :) The design came from The Complete Cabinet Makers Reference. Sure made it a lot easier.

Here are a few pictures of the cabinets stained in Mahogany and cherry.

I should be finishing an Arts and Crafts Toy Box/ Blanket chest next week and will post it on the forum.

Looks good Mike.

You put the pulls on sideways though. ;)

Todd: I wondered if there was a rule :) My thinking was to keep the low and out of the way. Live and learn.

Another advantage is that it give you another place to hang a shop towel...

Great job. I desperately need to do the same thing. I am constantly moving things from the top of one tool to another to get my work done.

Something I learnt in my metal working days was to hang often used items on the outside or sides of the cabinets, be supprised at how much ya can hang off a door.

Looks nice btw.
