Great build, love the addition of the melamine top, really looks good with that hardware. Also really like the sliding tray. Thanks for sharing this one.

Great build! Thanks for sharing. Needs a splash of the grant gray.

[johnford]

Very nice. That black top really makes it look great. And thanks for the idea about predrilling the shelf pin holes. I'm sure I would never have thought of that.

This is so nice and clean! I really love your shop builds, I love all of your builds but currently my shop is a mess so these projects are my obsession till I fix it! Pls more anytime you can and thank you for sharing!

Hey John, I'm a tile setter by trade but have always loved building things. I've started to get more serious with it these last couple of years and I want to thank you for your step by step videos. You and a few other channels I follow have inspired me to take it to that next level. I recently did a bathroom renovation in my house and your video on bathroom vanities helped me get through most of what I had no idea how to do. Even though my vanity was different, I got the just of what you were explaining. So thanks! And keep up the amazing work and videos.

The drill bit half tray is a great addition that definitely increases the functionality. I think I'll do the same with several of the cabinet drawers I've recently built.

That came out nice! I just bought the crib build plans to build for a friend at church. Going to be getting these plans as well in the near future.

I see you finally upgraded your table saw from the Ridgid to the awesome sawstop congratulations that is definitely a dream tool for

[philshock]

Nice little cabinet and great use of the scrap gold! lol Love the sliding tray.
As I notice the Ridgid 4512 in the corner and your shiny new Sawstop, it reminded me of my own upgrade transition. The Sawstop is great, but I have to admit I miss that little saw. Had it's quirks but I had it dialed in perfectly and it served me well for quite a while ... all for under (at the time), less than $450. Highly underrated saw for the price, IMO. Wish I would've kept it as a second saw.

[nikkihopson]

[redscortgt]

[snapjamwoodworks]

Yep, another quality build and video!!

[smtkelly]

Every time I watch one of these shop cabinet videos, I go check the cost of ply then cry alittle lol

[wanpengqian]

A build that others can duplicate! Thanks!

John, great build. Really enjoy your videos. Hey, did you consider having the sides sit on top of the bottom piece for additional strength in supporting a heavy drill press? If you do it that way, the weight of the drill press is supported by the sides, and not by the sheer stress on the bottom piece pocket hole screws (the way you did it). If the cabinet were sitting on the ground, then your approach would be as strong, but with the casters, it seems like there’s a lot of sheer stress on those bottom pocket hole screws. Granted, you’d want to edge band the sides of top and bottom pieces as well if you did it the way I propose. Thoughts?

Nice little build. Do you have a video of the drill press table it looks great?
