Storage Drawers for Workshop, above the stairs

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


More space is what is required in my ever shrinking workshop, this cabinet of very standard 1/2 ply construction. I also used it as an experiment for exposed dowels, which I learnt a lot about.The cabinet sits against the ceiling in my workshop and is just out of the way of head height walking space.
The drawers needed to be easily removable so as they could sit on the bench whilst being used. The handles had to be easily gripable to be able to pull a heavy drawer out and get it on the bench without dropping it down the stair well.The only real special thing here is in actual fact the hand made handles from Beech dowel and Mahogany ends.
Anyways I was thrilled how they turned out , I've added a picture of the jig I made. I used it to get holes with no tear out in the mahogany ends which house the dowel. I then used a fine tooth back saw to rip each small end by hand and sand them up. Honestly, I don,t know how you model makers do it. Working with little pieces of lumber is frustrating for me. (((which reminds me , I,ve got to get the rifle finished at some point.)))Thanks for reading ,
