I use a lot of craft paper and paper towels for glue-ups, painting and protection for my work bench so when I saw this cleaning station I knew I wanted to build one but that was last year when my wife was hospitalized but I've finally gotten around to it. I modified the plans a little. I used 5/8" plywood for the sides, shelves and upper dividers. The back is made from 3/4" plywood. and I widened and lengthened the case by 1.5". I'm still working on the paper cutter and will band the plywood edges and paint it machinery grey. Now I just need to rearrange my shop a little so I can mount it to the wall and be able to get at it. When I need paper I have to drag out the roll and try to cut it with my utility knife which isn't as easy as one would think plus it gives me a convenient place for paper towels and shop rags. Now I need to build an organizer for all of my dust collector fittings and extra hoses.

I'll post the completed pics once it's painted.

Looks great. I too take plans from mags and other places and modify them to fit my needs. I find them to be a great resource for sorting out the best of things that would work for me. Nice job, looking forward to the finished photos.

God bless and protect our troops that serve so we can be free.

Thanks Wayne. Hopefully in a few days it'll be completed and I'll post pics.

Nice!

It makes so much more sense to have all that stuff in one place!

Very nice Mike. I can think of a few places in my shop that I need one of those.

I can visualize this setup in my shop.  A great place to keep all of it together including glue bottles, various sanding disks, etc.  My only problem is that my shop is far from being as clean as you show in your pictures.

Hey Fred, Mikes no different than the rest of us, his shop is a disaster area except for the photo shoots!

sometimes my shop is so bad the only way I can see to clean it is to hire this maid service:
