I've made several of these cabinets over the years and am always looking for new ideas. I found one with your sandpaper storage. I've probably got a dozen different grits and now have a box with drawers for each grit. Combining more than one grit on a pullout tray integrated in the cabinet is a great space saver. Looks like I'm going to be building another cabinet soon. - Chris

really cool build thanks for sharing. Another option for you and others that my read this is your sloping shelf for the chargers could be fitted with hinges allowing you to lift it and get easy access to the power strip. Please Im defo not knocking your build just trying to share info back.

Thanks Tommy for sharing your ideas! There are three things to consider when upgrading this cabinet: 1) The cleaner the contacts of the chargers, the better the quality of the charging process. There is inevitably dielectric microdust in the air, which will be deposited on the contacts. Therefore covers are needed for each charger. 2) Why drill such a big hole, you can only drill for the wire, which you pull inside by disassembling the extension cord socket block. 3) You will have to remember what's in the center drawer, because even when you pull it out you can't see what's there. Therefore, the front wall of the drawer can be replaced with acrylic, adding LED lighting inside.

Great cabinet. Way more sensible than the dedicated cordless drill/driver versions. This could become a modular or expandable plan for even more things. Cool. You just gave me a thought! Also, I definitely would have hinged that charger shelf. That would make your life so much easier, plus a little extra storage for random stuff, like extra cash from product endorsement deals!

Awesome build! Very clever features. Love your videos and your sense of humor. Great Tee Shirts. All the best. Peace and Good Fortune and Good Health to you and your family.

Been looking forward to this video since I first saw you mention it either on here or Instagram.
A lot of good ideas in one cabinet!

[TheOnlineCourseGuy]

Yes!!! Adding this to my to-do list. 17 days eh? :)

[geofferson]

Great job. I think I'm going to try this one for my garage shop.

Really nice. Thoughts on the charging shelf being pinned (dowels?) at the top and not glued in so it can pivot up to get behind it for plugging in/out and whatnot?

[dave]

Nice. Couldn't the table saw blade portion just be a piece of plywood with a short dowel that's the size of the arbor?

Serious issue with the drawer. The center of teh drawer is just at your eye level (in the video) so, how d'ya see what's init?
