Looks nice. Good clean lines, not too fancy, not too plain. Me likey...
I am thinking that looks like pine, and?
I guess that is hardboard you are using for the counter top inserts, is that right? That would make for a NICE slick surface. I know I really hate my B/C plywood top and have often wanted to cover it with some laminate of some sort...
I have a mess of discarded Southern Yellow Pine 2x4s laying around taking up space in the garage. I might just try building up a rolling workbench / cart of sorts for tool storage, and assembly space. I am seriously unhappy with my current bench layout... It worked good for me with small wood projects, and was GREAT for auto projects, but for larger assembly projects it sucks... The wall kind of gets in the way you know?
From the sheen on it, and the hue it looks like you simply applied a gloss poly over the prepped pine. Are you having curing problems with Poly this time of year? It is so humid here I can't seem to get poly to cure...Please like and subscribe to my YouTube channel. Please check out and subscribe to my Workshop Blog.Comment

dbhost,
The frame is made up of 2x pine with 3/4" MDF end panels, shelves, and double-thick top. The doors are #2 pine with beadply panels. I then added 1/4" hardboard over the MDF top. I only finished the top and top edge banding with oil base poly. The rest was left natural. The hardboard top is held down with double sided tape for easy replacement when the time comes. The poly actually dried really quickly! it was ready to sand and recoat within a few hours. I'm hoping that the poly keeps the top in decent shape for a while.Comment

Great looking cabinets!!!
One question,,,,,,, did your cased tools just happen to fit or was that a consideration while building?
Anyways, looks like very good organization and I really like the corner section with the drill press.Do like you always do,,,,,,Get what you always get!!Comment

One of the great uses of a DP with a fence is drilling repetitive holes on a long piece at a fixed distance from the edge. With this kind of placement, its hard to imagine how he would handle drilling holes distributed along a 6-foot piece of wood - the walls would get in the way and there's no place for auxiliary outboard supports.
Just my 2 cents on DP placement. The original cabinets look great BTW- but his cabinets looking full, needs more places for more tools (just kidding I'm sure he just showed the ones he loaded up and he has other empty ones.)Loring in Katy, TX USA
If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

I never noticed that, but you are dead right... Maybe lose the shelf, and build a rolling cabinet that can be rolled into that corner to mount the DP on, roll it out when you need to use it?
If the OP is still around, how is that DP placement working for you?Please like and subscribe to my YouTube channel. Please check out and subscribe to my Workshop Blog.Comment
