Re: home made shop tools etc?

I don't have a pic or time to clear the way to get one but my workbench was built from Kitchen cabinets.I used 4 3 w/doors and 1 with drawers.The doors are 2 ft wide and the drawers are 18".The top is made from 4 2X8's on a 1X4 frame(8ft long).I wanted closed storage beneath because my shop tends to be cluttered enough without open storage and the closed doors help keep stuff cleaner.I also used a couple of wall cabinets above it to store other stuff.The back wall is pegboard and the top is spanned by a 1X12(top cabnets are 12") with a 4ft flourescent light.I added 2 8ft flourescents where the original incadescent lights were.I have some open shelving and a folding table for additional space.Plugged a retractable shop light in at the plug for the door opener and mounted it to the support for the GDO.
