Shopsmith Forums

You've got a lot of good storage space. The only problem I would have is with all those drawers (hidden spaces). I'd never be able to find anything. I have gotten use to open shelves.

I like your shop! Also I like how "this unit goes with seller, not part of house sale"... I've heard folks saying house-buyers are attracted to a nice work areas or benches sometimes.

Yes I have been asked if my shop goes with the house. One artist who saw the house forgot why she was here and wanted to talk tools. The problem being none of them wanted to buy the house. Jim

Thank you for the kind words, gentlemen. I had built quite a few shop cabinets in my old house. My shop was a two car garage that I shared with, you quessed it, two cars. In my new home, I am fortunate enough to have dedicated shop space. Any way, I left most of the cabinets in the old shop, but this particular one, I wanted to keep. This is one heavy unit (exceeds 300lbs.). I can only lift one end at a time. To install it, I set the ends on blocks alternating lifting each end as I added more blocks until I had it at the desired height. In addition to the screws holding it to the wall, it sits on a 2"X4" ledger that is lag bolted to the studs in the wall. The buyer was a backyard mechanic, and loved the cabinets that I left him. His wife also loved the new kitchen with the much fancier oak cabinets that I built. Sorry, I have no pictures of those.
