I've made several of these cabinets over the years and am always looking for new ideas. I found one with your sandpaper storage. I've probably got a dozen different grits and now have a box with drawers for each grit. Combining more than one grit on a pullout tray integrated in the cabinet is a great space saver. Looks like I'm going to be building another cabinet soon. - Chris
Great cabinet. Way more sensible than the dedicated cordless drill/driver versions. This could become a modular or expandable plan for even more things. Cool. You just gave me a thought! Also, I definitely would have hinged that charger shelf. That would make your life so much easier, plus a little extra storage for random stuff, like extra cash from product endorsement deals!
Really nice. Thoughts on the charging shelf being pinned (dowels?) at the top and not glued in so it can pivot up to get behind it for plugging in/out and whatnot?
That's a great idea. I could see a design where you can pick it up off of the dowels. This one is attached with pocket screws and not glued, but it still can't be removed. That might be a change that I make in the future.
@@OutoftheWoodwork using a piano hinge is a quick and easy implementation to just lift the top and access the batteries. Personally I would also include a switch for the battery chargers, dont like those green lights when all the batteries are full of charge. But that is the beauty of creating your own cabinets!
Exactly my idea. I would have used a couple of hinges so it can be lifted. And I would add a strip of wood on the front so the chargers can't slide off of it. Nice cabinet, Tommy!
Superb project, very well executed. So neat now! I think if the tilted battery charger shelf could be lifted up, you could store the batteries in there. I hope that space is not wasted. I would also use a fancy wire loom for the charger cables on the side. Looks nicer. The sliding trays for saw blades, sandpaper, are genius. Beautiful work! Thank you for a lovely video and good instruction. I must build this. FYI The music was very hard on the ears and is very stressful for viewers.
Thanks Tommy for sharing your ideas! There are three things to consider when upgrading this cabinet: 1) The cleaner the contacts of the chargers, the better the quality of the charging process. There is inevitably dielectric microdust in the air, which will be deposited on the contacts. Therefore covers are needed for each charger. 2) Why drill such a big hole, you can only drill for the wire, which you pull inside by disassembling the extension cord socket block. 3) You will have to remember what's in the center drawer, because even when you pull it out you can't see what's there. Therefore, the front wall of the drawer can be replaced with acrylic, adding LED lighting inside.
Good ideas. It's probably the best possible scenario to have covers on the chargers, but it's easy enough to clean the contacts should they ever need it and they hardly ever need it. I had to drill the hole just big enough for the power strip to fit in the cabinet. Anything I take apart has to be put back together through the hole inside the cabinet. The drawer idea is a good one. I do remember what's in the drawer, but getting to it isn't the most efficient since I take it out and put it on the bench to see what I'm getting. Ideally, this could be mounted much lower, but I'm going to put cabinets underneath it, so it needs to be at this level. Thanks for the feedback!
really cool build thanks for sharing. Another option for you and others that my read this is your sloping shelf for the chargers could be fitted with hinges allowing you to lift it and get easy access to the power strip. Please Im defo not knocking your build just trying to share info back. Regards Conor
Awesome build! Very clever features. Love your videos and your sense of humor. Great Tee Shirts. All the best. Peace and Good Fortune and Good Health to you and your family.

Ha! That's the danger of watching woodworking videos.....your project list gets bigger and bigger.
How long does it take to make these? I keep thinking about making them for Father's day if I could batch them out

Definitely would hinge it if I did it again. And, I've already ditched the drawer, so there's always those things I would do different!
@@OutoftheWoodwork It's always evolution, am I right! LOL

Nice cabinet, Tommy!
What splitter do you use for your delta? I have the same saw and only have a splitter on my zero clearance 90o insert. It isn’t ideal…

Ah, clear plastic! Works for me see, but not reach and remove!
Yes!!! Adding this to my to-do list. 17 days eh? :)
😂 just felt like it

You're the best!
Been looking forward to this video since I first saw you mention it either on here or Instagram.
A lot of good ideas in one cabinet!
Thanks!
Great job. I think I'm going to try this one for my garage shop.
Enjoy!
Nice. Couldn't the table saw blade portion just be a piece of plywood with a short dowel that's the size of the arbor?
Superb video George U.K.
Serious issue with the drawer. The center of teh drawer is just at your eye level (in the video) so, how d'ya see what's init?
I ended up removing it and just stacking stuff on the shelf.
Very neat
