GARAGE TOOL STORAGE CABINETS

With the popularity of Netflix and therefore the demise of video rentals our local supermarket decided to eliminate their DVD rental business and so discarded their DVD storage cabinets. I spotted them in front of the building and asked if I could take a few. Well I was able to fit 6 in my van and I felt like a kid in a candy store. They are heavy gauge steel. Each cabinet has 3 drawers with heavy duty full extension drawer slides and measure 36" wide, 21 inches deep and 24" tall. I built framework out of 2x4's and faced it with some 1x4's. Inside the drawers I made sliding trays which keep my tools in order so they are easy to find. That was one day I didn't mind going to the supermarket for my wife. The top of the cabinet is white aluminum left over from a siding job and on top of that I keep some of my parts drawers. The other 4 cabinets are in the metalwork shop and they are great for jigs and accessories.

That's an awesome find!:thumbsup:

I am Envious!

Hey Bruce, I know it! I'm almost tempted to ask my wife if she needs anything from the supermarket to see what else they're getting rid of

Thank you, that was a lucky day

Lucky find being at the right place at the right time. This is an excellent addition for any shop.

DUKESALLEY,

What a find!! Thanks for sharing.

You're absolutely right Paul, makes up for the time I was at the wrong place at the wrong time
