But, I modified the shop cabinet plans from the overall dimensions of 38"x 80" x 4" to 48" x 96" x 11" (rough measurements). Since there is additional depth, I drilled a set of 3 shelf pin holes. That way I can use either a wide of narrower shelf.

The rollers, at the bottom of the doors, are patio screen door rollers. I am impressed at how well they ride on the aluminum strip. I did spray some silicone on these rollers which greatly improved their performance. Attached to the he tops of the doors are fender washers, which are captured in a channel. I did add smaller washers, between the fender washers and the doors, to reduce friction.
The finish is a water based polyurethane, made by MINWAX.
I will use the center compartment to store circular saw blades, sanding disks, table saw fence, miter gauge, etc. In one of the side compartments I will store anything related to drilling and routing. The other compartment I will use to store anything to do with the lathe. On the doors I will store smaller items such as Shopsmith wrenches.
My Shopsmith and power station fit nicely underneath this cabinet.
The plans this project are well thought out and easy to follow.
Any suggestions for improvements, for this project or the storage of accessories, would be greatly appreciated.
