The Woodshop Shed

Utility Cabinet

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


I could not take the accumulation of ” stuff ” on my workbench in the barn any longer. So last night I started cutting up all kinds of plywood from my stash in the barn to make this cabinet. It is cobbled up from 3/4” and 5/8” maple, Baltic birch and oak plywood and the top is a cutoff piece of a laminated table top from another project.
It has 4 casters on the bottom so I can move it out of the way if needed. People give me stuff all the time…I can't say no to free stuff..but it has been piling up there for 30 years. I took a before and after shot of the work table and the new cabinet filled with the “stuff”. I have not seen that whole top for a long time. I had to make it sturdy with cross braces screwed and glued under the bottom because it has a lot of weight in it. There are 5 microwave transformers and about 70# of lead ingots in there.The cabinet is finished with shellac just to make it clean up easier.Cheers, Jim
