72 inches of us general cabinet! a tour of skfarmer's main work box.....

Looks like just what you needed.  Glad they reworked their product line and you were able to get a 22" deep drawer model.  I thought when they first came out with the 72" model with only 18" deep drawers it was a waste.

I like the trays in the drawers. adds a lot of space. bought or made?

i had  the guy at the local plumbing and heating shop bend them up for me. i took a narrow and a wide drawer to his shop so he could build them to fit.they are very well made and cost less than 100 for the 4. for now they are just loose. i think i may just make a tab that hangs over the back of the drawer to keep them from sliding forward yet can be easily removed to let them slide forward or be lifted out for access below them.

That was an excellent addition

well it sure won't hurt... the big kitty needs lots of work before spring but as of this week that seems a long way off.

i think that would make a great workbench. my only complaint is the shear size of it. it has a large footprint, including wheel base. it is harder to move because of the length and increased weight.

on the flip side, i have no fear of it tipping because it is wider, heavier and the drawers lock when closed. i had many a scary moment moving the smaller box , hitting a crack in the floor that made the lighter box flex and several drawers start to self open! 

Your fears where good founded. Mine did exactly that and if it hadn't have been for my dad and a friend acting fast my crinkle finish box would have fell on its face.

What did you do with the old box? extra storage or did you sell it? I have been debating this, the new colors with the 5 drawer carts has me hoping for new colors in the 72" cabinets......that orange would look nice next to oliver green

The trays are pretty nice, great idea.

Very nice organization Harlan.  Mama was impressed also. 

I don't think those or any other that size were meant to be moved much though I understand the need in your shop.  I like a cart for mobile use and mine has served me well.  Last time I moved the big box was when I put it into service.

thanks, it is an idea i had been tossing around for a long time but never had the box to use it in. i think it is a good solution for storing bulky and smaller things in the same  drawer to conserve space.

i know that feature was available on boxes in the past but for some reason it seems to have fallen out of use.

well....... it looks organised now. it will get messed up soon enough i am sure. i really like all of the space on top for doing things but i am sure that will get cluttered up as well. 

say hi to mama for me!
