Looks good. You can never have too much storage, particularly in a shop.

Some of those drawers look a little high. I assume some kind of foot
stool and lighter weight tools are involved.


I do keep lighter "stuff" in the top drawers, but I'm tall enough to
see/reach into each one without a footstool.

Also wanted them to be just under the cabinets in height, which,
luckily, turned out to be the same height as the old mobile drawer
cabinet stack I made a few years back out of three shorter cabinets.

Besides, I Don't like sawdust, and other stuff/things, spending years on
top of tall objects if I can help it. Linda is in charge of doing that
in the house ...a philosophy that all horizontal surfaces need to be
filled is not mine.
