Workbench storage drawers
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)
Over the Christmas holiday, I started a shop cleanup and re-organization. One thing I really needed was more storage in general. The shelf under my workbench was a poorly utilized space and had turned into a catch-all. I decided to start there and build a slide-in cabinet with a set of drawers. The full build blog is here.The carcass is 3/4” birch ply, the drawer boxes are 1/2” birch ply – all from Home Depot. The front of the carcass is edged with some cherry.I did not want to use any handle hardware that I would bang my knees on, so I wanted a recessed pull. This mid-century credenza provided the inspiration for mine:The drawer fronts are mdf, edged and veneered with anigre, with a 1/2” radius cove on the backside of the arc pull.The front of the exposed drawer box is painted black to disguise the exposed crack between drawers. Quite effective.And the obligatory stair-step drawer shots:
Now I just need to fill them up. In an organized way. Somehow. :)
