    Also good for powder coating oven https://hackaday.com/2014/09/09/diy-...hings-cooking/ and dinner https://www.instructables.com/Filing-Cabinet-Smoker/

    I have a two-drawer on in my shop that keeps all my rattle cans of paint organized. and the top holds my surface plate handy, covered, and out of the way under the bench.

    I would love to find one like olderdan shows, though. A Map cabinet would be a good substitute. Heck with an appropriate top it might even make a decent lathe bench for a 7 or 8 inch lathe

    I got really lucky with that cabinet, I was decorating an insurance office and they had just thrown it out for the refit, it didn't get thrown very far. It is a TRIUMP brand and it was meant to be as I was restoring a Triumph T100SS at the time.
