Shopsmith SPT storage cabinet

Post by 8iowa »

I made this cabinet according to Shopsmith plans that I purchased at their retail store several years ago. I don't know if these plans are still available, I can't find them on the web site.

Great set-up!

If I ever get my shop organized to a point that I can fit something like this in, I will certainly think of it, or something similar.

Shopsmith SPT storage Cabinet

What you have meets all the requirements of similar cabinets. Among these are no wasted space, and the cabinet is on wheels. Now, just come up with something for the sides, and back side..............ie. Blade storage, table storage, etc.

Very nice job!

Hi 8iowa,

Is that the inside of your "new" U.P. shop? I see what I think is a desk on the left and a microwave sitting on a table to the right. Nice digs. :)

Yes. This is the "Workshop in the Woods" in the middle of the Hiawatha National Forest. It is still a work in process. I get better organized as I work in the shop and learn as I go.

I've been a little under the weather today. Now that I have the pixel problem solved I'll put some more pictures up when I'm feeling beetter.

Hi "8"! Yes!! Your Shop has been a thing of beauty since the get-go and now it is getting better! I know we all will enjoy seeing more of your photos. When you get feeling better, I hope you show photos of your electrical system. As I remember, your design and application is something for all to use as an example and to envy!

8, Sorry to hear that you've been "feeling under the weather", get better soon!

The storage is most excellent!
I really like how you are storing the Pro Fence on the extension, I think I'm going to have to "borrow" your idea as mine just sits inside the cabinet, on the shelf when I'm not using it. (I've never felt comfortable just laying it down like that)
Thanks for sharing the photo of the storage, and your shop.
