Made this beast of a cabinet 27 years ago when I bought the house. Needed a large cabinet to put my rapidly expanding tool set. It is NOT pretty, and yes it is made of a quilt-work of materials, OSB, plywood, Particleboard shelving, MDF, and cheap #2 pine. Measures 8 feet long, 25 inches deep and 32 inches tall. Heavy, YES, why? It seemed like a good idea at the time. Even put the beast on wheels thinking I would pull it out and clean regularly. Never happened, ever. I have plans drawn up for this to be replaced, but that may or may not happen. In the meantime, inspired by @Gerald recent work on his miter station and additional cabinets, I decided to get started. So having sold the unused benchtop joiner I had kept in the drawer I now have room for other plumbing supplies I keep in stock. This helps because I need the drawers those are in for my expanding machine screw and stainless steel screw collection. This is where we start: Used scraps from previous projects and kept with the theme of use whatever we have on hand. Took 7/16 OSB and edge banded the upper side, less splinters this way. Did the same with some scrap 3/4 plywood for the front and backs. The bottoms are the old backsplash from the sink project. Most of it was okay looking and so it gets used up. Took me a night to wait for glue to dry but had these done in short order the next night and gave them a few quick coats of poly to seal the wood somewhat. Once that was done I spent the afternoon installing these three. reused the drawer front from the original drawer and cut it down to fit all 3, got lucky here but I will take it. Drawers are installed now I need to make inserts for the PVC, CPVC, copper and some steel fittings I have. Have to get back to you on that, this was as far as I got today. Glued up a few pieces for tomorrows work.
