5 Garage Shop Cabinets for Ultimate DIY Storage

[@MrF1230n]

There's a reason you're the first Google result for 'build garage cabinets' - nice and fast for the more advanced builder, sense of humor, and plans available for those just starting out. Great balance!

[@PewterC5FRC]

Probably my favorite woodworking KZbinr out there. I've never felt like I got shafted when I purchase plans from this guy.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Glad I've been able to serve you well! 💪

[@bradleycramm8950]

Where can your plans be obtained. Thanks

[@MCHammer0000]

Great work! I purchased the bundle of plans and then realized that the cost of the plywood vs buying premade cabinets are around the same. With the current cost of plywood, i'm looking at around $320+ for just plywood. For $325 I can get 2x premade ready-to-mount cabinets. I'll be holding onto these plans i just purchased for when plywood prices drop in the future... If they ever do...

[@Drewtube64]

you dude gotta say i agree with 99% of what you did and said in this video but the plastic toothpick bit about the swiss army knife maaaaan i can't live without that thing 8) still got it. Love the cabinets. Thank you for sharing your skills.

[@twalter32]

I just built these with my 6 yr old daughter who was actually a great help. Got to discuss a lot of basics with her about why pocket screws work, how to use jigs to get consistent results. Really a lot of fun to do. I am still a little concerned about them being top heavy, but so far it has come together really smooth and the plans worked out just fine. Thanks!

You're my inspiration; your free plans for the outfeed table has inspired me to build a new table for my Kreg Adaptive Cutting System, a mitre saw station, and now a drill press table. I can definitely use these cabinets. I'm getting going with my own KZbin channel and goal is to inspire others into the world of woodworking.

[@Jamiewalker2097]

Just bought the plans and looking forward to building these for my workshop. Can't decide between dowel and glue or pocket holes.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Awesome, enjoy the builds! Both methods will work great, so go with the one you feel more comfortable with.

[@brandonscott745]

Hello my name is Brandon and I suffer from KTT. I am impressed that you kept it to 1 corner. Mine is in all 4 corners and everywhere in between.

[@RodHartzell]

KTT sub rod = 2. Most of my kids are grown and flown. The final HS junior has produced limited KTT in his lifespan. So... I'm very lucky. Plus I have a full 2 car garage and a full 1 car garage. For now I've taken over the 1 car garage and am slowly building a respectable shop. Great video. I just subscribed. Thank you sir.

[@richardkusimenkah]

ive got pretty much all the tools needed for this, but looks like a pocket screw jig is critical for all of this! definitely my next amazon purchase

[@mustanglover06]

I think it would be a great idea to put the countertop on hinges so it can fold up and you can store your plans and maybe some small hardware organizers underneath. Love the build!

[@daverowe5351]

Brad - you are one of the best out there - got the bundle and moving to a new/old state and new house next weekend so hopefully over the winter a new shop will appear👍🇺🇲

My son is almost 2 and has his own 6x6 shed in the back yard.... planning for the win!! I just got done finishing my garage and am in the planning stages for my workshop layout. I am one of those viewers that has to share the garage with the wife's car. really inspired by what you have here, Thank you for what you do!

You are an expert. One question- Is there a need to sand or polish this?.

Bought the plan, this is my first cabinets in my new garage.

[@toplistcrew7645]

Our K.T.T. Along with grandmas hoarding had filled our garage space. The garage was filled with no room to do anything. After building a well built 10x10 gable style shed that solved grandmas junk and K.T.T. Overflow. But it’s time for these cabinets. Thank you for the video.

[@Rudimentary007]

Nice work👍. Cargo shorts and polo shirts all I ware and stone wash jeans. Yes born in late 60's.

This is such a smart design! I look forward to buying the plans and putting this to work in our garage this fall. I’m hoping my husband and I can do this. We are greenhorns with construction and wood working to say the least!

[@CraigLafferty]

I have bought and build your base cabinets. Easiest to follow plans ever made! Will eventually buy the wall cabinet plans too. I am also a big follower of your podcast since I've purchased my CNC. Keep up the great work!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thanks, Craig! Glad you're digging the plans

[@lancedooley7558]

Im actually very impressed with your skills. Your cabinets look better than store bought. I dont know how much time or money in it but very good video dude.

[@wb_finewoodworking]

I wear cargo shorts and cargo pants all the time. As for as I’m concerned they’ll never go out of style unless I can’t find them anymore. Your cabinets look great. When I get some time, most likely not until next year, I plan to make some for my shop. I’ll keep your plans in mind for that project.

I've avoided KTT in my 1 car garage shop by building a 12'x10' shed expansion in the back yard. Thanks for all this inspiration Brad! Making a 1 car garage a functioning hobbiest shop and still having a car park there has been a challenge.

[@TheSleepyCraftsman]

Thank you for keeping the guard on your table saw! I see way too many KZbinrs remove theirs.

[@tygrahof9268]

Like the idea of stuff on the doors as regular cabinets with full shelves rarely get the top shelf used or it is where stuff goes to be forgotten and die.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Yes, exactly!

[@phil.pinsky]

KTT is hardcore in my garage. It’s a little over 42% and rising. Winter will send all that kid stuff into storage though, so should be okay. Also, cargo shorts will always be dope. Rock on, Brad.

[@chris-channel-berlin]

GREAT video as always! Is there any video where you talk about what hardware (hinges, drawer slides) you're using? I'm assuming you'd need more top-end quality hinges to cope with the weight in the door racks, and also the slides always look super precise in your videos. Thanks!

[@letsmake8166]

Cargo shorts are very cool! All those pockets are very practical! 😎

What material did you use for the door/drawer fronts? If that's BB, what stain did you use? It looks fantastic.

Buy the plywood now so you've got no excuses :)

[@joshharvey9658]

I have two base cabinets done from your plans, 2 more to go and 4 upper cabinets. What drawer slides do you recommend? Preferably from Amazon? Thanks!!!

[@rolly5457]

I still wear cargo shorts everyday. My garage has 24in on center wall so will that be a probably mounting the cabinets to the wall. Do you recommend a French clear run spanning majority of the wall that will be cover in cabinets that is mounted to the studs? I have lots of KTT but don’t have any kids. Only my toys from when I was a kid that my parents won’t get rid of.

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Awesome video man. Well organized. I definitely need to build more cabinets in the shop.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thanks, Brandon!

[@marshallbrummel1860]

Nice work on some very useful cabinets. I would have liked to see you put the last cabinet (under the desk) on wheels so that you could move it out of the way to better utilize the desk. Keep the videos coming. It gives the DIY'ers inspiration.

So many awesome storage options! Makes so much more room for activities

Thoughts on using 3/4 MDF in place of 3/4 plywood for the cabinets? I have a ton of pristine MDF available and would hate to buy material i don't need to!

KTT haha Im using that from now on. I only have 4 bikes, 2 power wheels, a couple scooters, helmets, a bin of sidewalk chalk, etc... and there's more in there.

[@benjaminreinhardt259]

Building specialized storage for the K.T.T. is the key to controlling it. I have a shed in the backyard for the yard K.T.T. and will build a small lean-to beside the shop by the driveway for the bikes and power wheels.

[@georgevalenzuela2489]

[@craigmonteforte1478]

Very nice build on the cabinets i spent over 20 years working in Commercial Woodworking for m living and we built a similar Cabinet except we used dowels and glue and screws for assembly and some staples we did fabricate most of our components using. A premium grade Melamine over the 20 years. I never saw one of our cabinets. Come apart the way your store bought ones did Of course. I also used our cabinets in my own shops and garages as well and even when they were grossly overloaded they held up over time we did however use Baltic Birch on all our drawers for added strength and our customers could pay more for cabinets made out of it if they chose nobody ever did as our standard cabinets exceeded AWI specs and the company was in business over 30 years in the same area and most of the customers and Architects knew our products And quality as well as had toured our facility at one time or another i managed the Installation department for most of my years there as i once had done installation myself and enjoyed working in that part of the business I could go into the shop if it was needed as i. Did know how to work a lot of the equipment minus all the CNC equipment primarily i built using a Sliding Table Saw or a more traditional 10” table saw in which our 100,0000 square foot shop had many of

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Sounds like you've made 1000x more cabinets than me in my day!

[@itwasereonce]

Hey Brad. Absolutely love your videos. You really give me motivation with being able to do more 😊 just a question. You may have answered this for someone else already but I thought I better ask incase you havnt. When your installing the drawer runners to to cabinets you use a spacer block. How do you determine the size and where to put them in relation to the drawers? Do you use an offcut of the drawers or something? I hope this makes sense. Thank you again 😊

[@adamhutchinson8964]

I used this video as a guide to build my first cabinet for our garage! Thank you.

[@Mailliw1975]

Thanks for these videos - I just moved with my family (six of us) into a house with a double garage. This is the first time I have a double garage so I'm pumped about all the space - but I can see and know that the real estate in these can go very quickly (KTT!!!). I'm not a woodwork builder and am trying to get used tools, etc... I will definitely bribe my wife with stuff so she parks outside :-). Thanks for the inspiration and the content. Cheers.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

[@sandro53016]

Would have been cool to set up the cabinet that you made for the desk on casters so you can use it for storage most of the time but you could roll it out of the way and still have access to your desk. The rolling cabinet could also help when you need an extra place for plans, tools and/or fasteners while on another project. Either that or make the cabinet at seat height and use it as your stool... great work as always!! Cheers!

Glad I got the plan bundle. I had no plans of building the hutch. And now I’ve changed my mind and I believe I’m going to make one. Question… the drawer slides I get I think are from the link in the description. At least those are the ones I have on their way now. I used pro mark the last time. They never come with the screws to mount them. I’m struggling with finding a screw I like. Seems like each one I’ve tried sucks. Do you have a recommendation?

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Awesome, Angie! These are the ones I've always bought. I like them because they have a nice big head on them. Only think I don't like is they are stainless steel, so won't hold on a magnetized tip. geni.us/TqcIWWO

Hi Brad, love the videos. Quick question on the base cabinets, do you need to incorporate treated lumber to place them on concrete floors in garage?

I would use treated in my garage. But perhaps if you know that your garage is always dry - then don't bother.

I really like your setup. I know this is an old video, but ill try to ask anyway. Since you're building mostly base cabinets with drawers, could you just put stretchers in the bottom like the top rather than a full size bottom of plywood? With a big project like this it could save a lot of plywood.

[@peterschmidt9942]

Cool design. I've been looking at building something similar out of MDF and then ones I'd seen were all pretty much 400x400x780mm. I didn't see the point in adding an extra side so I think I'll build double cabinets something along these lines about 800mm wide (to keep with the 2.4x1.2m sheets). Not too sure about the spray can storage, but I think I'll retrofit some store bought racks. All I want around the bench is glues and fillers generally. Thanks for the ideas though!
