This listing is for the digital build plans of the "Ultimate Shop Cabinets" as featured in a build series on YouTube on the Shop Nation channel. The cabinets feature a TON of storage, a miter station, and integrated dust collection. These build plans go into full color detail explaining how to build the upper cabinets, lower cabinets, and integrated dust collection system. The plans are 130+ pages long because each step is illustrated to aid in construction. In addition to the full color images, there is a 7-part video series which shows first hand how I built these cabinets.
This is a great project for anyone looking to build a workshop or improve the storage in their garage. What is great about these plans is that it is broken down into chunks so you can spread out the time/cost of the project very easily.
Approximate Final Size:
160" Long (standard, can be modified to be 130" or 190" as well), 30" Deep, 92" Tall (can be adjusted +/- 5")
The plans include a full material breakdown so you can approximate costs, but I will provide some rough cost estimates here:
Wood ONLY - $940
Hardware (hinges, drawer slides, leveling feet, etc) - $340
-----------------------------------------------
Total Estimated build cost without dust collection - $1280
If you do choose to add the integrated dust collection system, the cost will be ~$1800 when it's all said and done. Of course these values are purely estimates and your results may vary. Keep in mind this cost is spread over a good chunk of time - it took me 5 months to complete mine (I was traveling and filming so it naturally took much longer)!
