I work in a shop during the day and in my own shop during the evenings.  While they provide some old cabinets to use to store my tools, it didn't seem fitting to use them to store good quality tools. Working long days and becoming frustrated with an unorganized work area, I decided to remedy the chaos! Tools without a home, and sharing a fridge and microwave with a shop full of guys and a slight addiction to coffee made this happen. I built it at my shop and brought it into work. Next, side cabinets built with drawers like a sysport!

Dude !  Very nice!

Now you just need to add locks to keep the riff raff out.  [wink]

Thank you very much!  Seth, I do plan on adding locks, but locks are only there to keep honest people honest.
 
Dude that is something you should be smiling about. Awesome job. Love the laminated table top. Especially love the coffee maker :D
 
now that's a toolbox!  very well thought out and executed.  that's nicer than some of my house furniture.
i do have to ask:  is there any worry about warpage with the 3 large pieces of ply?
 
I think Peter would say 'Spot on' or 'absolutely brilliant'!  And then I would have to agree with him!

Seems to be missing the kitchen sink, but that's about it... [big grin]

Teocaf, thusfar there hasnt been an issue with any warping. I also have a door on the back that has clamps behind it. It is all prefinished maple ply and everything is edgebanded on all sides. My OCD would drive me crazy if there was unsealed edges.
 
Being in the automotive circle the first thing I thought when the pics loaded was "Cool, SnapOn for a wood man".  Sweet setup.  Bet the guys at the shop are jealous.
 
Scorpion, I partly blame my mechanic and his giant 4 bay Snap-on box! He has the top hutch and side cabinets to make his toolbox about 12 ft wide and almost 8 high.

You chose an excellent pattern...you probably could build 2 of yours and fully outfit them with Festools for less than he paid (and maybe then some) for just his box.

Ditto. I have always toyed with doing something similar after parting ways with my Snap On roll cab.  Awesome job!!!
