My old workshop cabinet finally hit its breaking point—cans stacked on cans, finishes I forgot I owned, sandpaper everywhere, and every project starting with a five-minute scavenger hunt.

So I finally admitted it… my garage shop was a mess, and I needed better storage.

These plans are for a for a garage or workshop cabinet that can actually keep up with a growing collection of finishes, paints, stains, sandpaper, and shop supplies. This cabinet features deep adjustable shelves, four drawers for smaller items, and a dedicated sandpaper storage system, all built with simple, beginner-friendly methods.

I walk you through the entire process step by step—from breaking down plywood and assembling the cabinet carcass, to cutting dados, drilling shelf pin holes, building drawers, and adding a clean face frame. Along the way, I share real-world tips, mistakes to avoid, and alternative methods so you can build this cabinet using the tools you already have.

This is shop furniture, not fine furniture—strong, functional, affordable, and designed to evolve as your shop grows.
