Mike's tool cupboard build (finished)

This is where we don't want anything but evidence of your finest wood butchering in all its glorious, and photograph laden glory. Bring your finished products or WIP's, we love them all, so long as there's pictures, and plenty of 'em!

I just sat and doodled for a minute or two. The most storage for the least effort was my design criteria.

Trivial update. I put the handles on and filled the parts bins:

This involved hours and hours of sorting out screws and so on. "Do I chuck out these 2-1/2" black Japanned dome-headed slotted screws I haven't used in 25 years?".............

And I spent a whole day just cleaning and tidying the rest of the workshop. From this:

To this:

So that's it. Done. No more posts on my workshop. I've sorted out my timber racks and storage and will be starting on an unusual stair build in the next week or so. Now that I've created the space I am looking forward to using it properly.

A clean and tidy workshop is always a great motivator for getting the next project started. Looking forward to the staircase build.

Just doing some catch-up reading ................. :o

Read the thread from the start.

Mike, that is some very nice work and really looks good.

Must a pleasure to have it finished and in use.

Cheers

Thanks Phil. Yep, indeed. I've always enjoyed my workshop. Now I just enjoy it that little bit more.
