I mentioned a couple of times that I was working on a storage cabinet to hold my SS SPTs and accessories. I finally finished it yesterday. My goal was to have all of my SPTs in one place that was conveniently located to my Shopsmith. This cabinet will be located within 5 feet.
This thing holds a ton. I revised various parts a couple of times trying to get it just right for me. I am very happy with the outcome.
The SPTs are mounted on pull out trays supported by full extension drawer slides. I added a drawer to hold the various small parts, measuring tools, etc. The inside is lined with pegboard that is accessible from both the inside and from the sides which open up. The sides are actually doors that open and provide additional storage as you can see. They are each mounted on 4 heavy duty concealed hinges. The outside of the left door holds the connector tubes and floating tables.
The dimensions are 42" wide, 22" deep, and 91" tall. This equates to about 6.4 square feet of floor space which is much more efficient than my old method of placing them wherever I could find an empty spot.
The first pictures are in this post. Additional pictures follow.
