A meticulously designed and detailed power tool cabinet providing loads of storage and a mobile workspace.
The project
I needed to organise and store my power tools better so I built this cabinet. It's made almost entirely using repurposed wood from crates and pallets. It was an affordable build and kept me busy. I am very proud of how it turned out.
Building the frames of the two units.
Painted the inner shelves black.
The wheels transformed the entire workshop as I was able to skip all the hassle of manhandling them around whenever I needed them moved. The wheels are 45mm castors. I thoroughly recommend them as it really does make it easier when you need to reconfigure the workshop for a certain project.

More workbench and tool storage projects
In need of more tool storage and a bigger work area, Workshop member Rodney designed this custom workbench with loads of built-in tool storage.
Workshop member JoeAzza took apart his existing workbench to build a frame that would accommodate wheels and added a beautiful Ash timber benchtop from Bunnings.
