Seamless. Love a colour-coordinated storage solution :D

He he, so do I. I was amazed at how good a colour match I got.

Great addition to the cabinet Bob. I would probably put some rubber matting on the shelves to stop possible sliding when being moved around. Cheers😀

Good idea Brett 👍👍👍

Nice job Bob, those chucks look very heavy I wouldn't want to be carrying them about too often, The riv nuts are a tool I keep telling myself I don't need (I would find a use for them about once every two years ) Great demonstration 🛠👍😊

[@whitedoggarage]

Thanks Tony, the chucks are heavy and it is good to be able to roll the cabinet over close for a change over. Yes, I knew about riv nuts for years before I got into them. I had a job come up a few years ago where I needed them, so I invested. Thanks again, Bob.

[@Everythings_Adjustable]

Thanks Bob you have me thinking about investing in them soon 😁

@@Everythings_Adjustable Tony, get one that the pliers go from M5 to M10, I made the mistake of just buying one that went up to M6, because that was what I needed for the job I was doing then. But since then I have had to buy a bigger set of pliers as I needed to do some M8 fittings.

You are a bad influence Bob 🥃 👍 😁

23:44 I Have to admit: When I first saw the cabinet, and then the shelves, and the things you wanted to store on them.... I was sure that cabinet was going to tip over! LOL. I assume there is some substantial weight in the drawers?

[@whitedoggarage]

He he, I did not mention the castors, now there is a story. I do not know what weight the original casters could hold, but they collaspsed under the weight of the cabinet a couple of years ago🙄. The new casters together can hold 1640 kilograms, about 3600 pounds, and as yet they have not failed, but I have had to beef up the body mounts since fitting them 😉. The drawers are all full of tooling for the lathe, mill and drill - lots of it, all steel, collectively very heavy. I had to tip the trolley on its side, to do the riv nuts, so I removed the drawers. There are seven drawers from memory and I had to unpack three of them to be able to lift them clear of the trolley.
