That's a super-smart design. I especially like that you can see through your swing-out shelves. BTW, I like to give all my shop furniture a quick coat of finish, even if it's just shellac or wipe-on poly. It keeps them cleaner over the years.
Really great build. One thing I would add is a tiny caster on the bottom of each hinged shelf to support it when it's closed, eliminating any long-term sag in the hinges.
I love that you're Canadian and get your supplies from Canadian stores! Nothing worse than trying to build a RUclips project and finding out half way through that the pieces you need to complete it aren't available in Canada!
Another interesting, and entertaining video and build. BTW, it seems that building things that fit in awkward, unlevel, and tight spaces is kind of your jamb.😂 And, you do it so well. 👍
Great job Marie! Very clever use of space. Storage projects are among my favorites to build because storage space leads to organization, which leads to better work efficiency, which leads to a better focus on creativity! I love that columbia purebond plywood. I use the poplar faced variety for shop projects since it's a bit cheaper.
As an aspiring woodworker, I follow a LOT of woodworking related content. If you look around my house, you will find items inspired by this lady! Another good one Marie! Keep producing this kind of content.
You say you are not a seasoned woodworker and it is just a shop cabinet. I think it is wonderful and would look nice in a home like a piece of furniture. Thanks so much for sharing!
That is the coolest idea I’ve seen in a long time. You may not think you are a seasoned woodworker. But you are a really, really talented woodworker. I’ve been woodworking for years and I get truly inspired by your videos. Thank you, and keep up these great teaching videos.
Very clever way to increase available wall space - by making layers. I like the little comment section at the end; clarifies a lot of your design decisions. Thank you for sharing.
Ingenious way to utilize that deep space above your router table Marie! I picked up a lot of great tips that will come in handy for other projects too. Thanks for another awesome video!!!
If its hard to slide the doors, you can add some paste wax to the dadoes and the bottom edge of the doors. I also use this trick on table saw glides on jigs and such and it works great. That is a nifty cabinet.
Candle wax or 'Canning' wax - its all Paraffin wax - harder than paste wax. Just rub it on either the door edge or in the bottom of the groove (or both). Lasts a few years of regular use before you need to rub some more on.
Paste wax is good, candle wax is horrible. The best is bees wax. Great for wood on wood, and metal on metal, like sliding doors. I have used it for years, and never have build up, or changing colors.
Great build Marie, i nearly died of shock when i saw how much a sheet of Plywood costs in Canada and i couldn't tell how many you bought, if you have to buy Plywood every week you would need a bank loan just to get a few. As i mentioned at the start another great build, but i did notice the non straight wall when you first showed the nook i think you called it, it's the same in my house you should see our kitchen 😂 Anyway take care.

This is great. My wife and I bought our house that was built in 1952,15 years ago. When we needed garage storage I built shelves in place along one wall above existing cabinets. These cabinets are much better and seem to hold more things in the same area than our space. I also noticed that you have a garage somewhat like ours. If you look at the bottom left side of your cabinet next to the wall, you can see exactly how houses settle over the years... nothing in my garage or house is square. Great job!
Brilliant idea, Marie -- that is one great shop cabinet. And congrats on figuring out all the space and clearance challenges. You're one of the best teachers on YT, IMO. Thanks for all those little helpful tips.
Great idea and build, Marie. I saw you use that narrow Gator sander once before and had to buy one. I liked it so well that my daughter stole (not really stole) it so I had to buy another. I expected you to inlay some hexagons into the doors lol. Bill
Great solution! This is the type of creative cabinet content access I'm looking for in my leather studio! But for any wood on wood sliding, I recommend some wax or "slick it" in the slide tracks & door edges to prevent binding.
Super cool. I was thinking about cabinets for my garage. Now I have direction. I need to figure out how to go about designing plans. Love your videos thank you for your work.
Awesome! I have plans for this build if you want to use that as a starting point, but also get if you want to design your own! Here's the link to the plans: www.diymontreal.com/product/swing-out-wall-cabinet-with-sliding-doors-pdf-build-plans/
Over the years I've evolved my cabinet builds toward using more half inch plywood. It gives you a little more space and is lighter, which makes mounting them easier. Three quarter is overkill for most cabinets.
I've been looking at shop organization videos all day for weeks and this one just made everything click. Great idea and execution. I think ill use this idea all over the place. Really helps to utilize a lot of depth, without needing to spend a fortune on heavy duty long drawer slides. And great for keeping things from getting lost in the back. Thank you!
Well done Marie! You executed this cabinet very well :) I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos! Very informative without the fluff. Thanks for sharing this!
Good to see a new video from you. Nice job on the cabinet. I also snapped the ends of the edge banding with my fingers. Little paste wax on the doors and track might be useful for helping them slide better.
Back in the 1960's in Australia you could buy aluminium extrusion for sliding door tracks. I no longer see it in the 'home center' stores but it seems to still be available (or was) from places that supply the shopfitting trade. Just cut one rebate or dado then glue/screw the extrusion in place.
I recommend full length piano hinges instead of the hinges you chose. The fully loaded swing out cabinet is going to put a lot of load on those hinges.
Great job. It looks neat and the result is extremely thoughtfull! Great way to maximize a "wasted space" by the garage door track! Should have gone to Canac! The plywood is way cheaper! 🙂
Great project. I love how you addressed the two major obstacles - the depth of the niche and the garage door track. I will definitely be stealing the hinged shelf design idea for a shop project I’m looking at.
love the creative problem solving. great use of space. gives me some ideas for getting more organized space behind my garage door tracks. thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this video. I have a lot of odd deep cabinets in my home and in my workshop, and this gives me great ideas for ways to utilize those spaces without paying ridiculous amounts of money for complicated hardware. Mine will be somewhat scrappier than yours, but functional nonetheless. Thanks again.
I'll usually do sliding doors with ends rabbeted. Weight same, still enough strength, but noticeably reduced friction in track. Nice project, excellent video. Thx.
Awesome cabinets. Just when I started to think about organizing my own shop and home, this popped up in my feed- just what I needed as inspiration. Thanks!
Cool channel. Very creative with how you used the space you have. Its actually hard to find videos of "actual small shops" When folks say their 2 car garage is a "Small Shop" Lol... I am in a single car garage as well and might borrow some of your ideas. Hooked On Wood is a channel you may be interested in. He has some really good ideas for small shops as well.... Thank you for posting this!
I end up doing the same thing with plywood - designing things around what I know I can get rough cut at the store to fit it in my car. Definitely has some limits and I don't always get the most material-efficient layouts from the rough cut sheets, but generally I've been able to build most of what I need doing it this way. Much more practical than spending a few thousand dollars on a truck or renting one every time I need a couple sheets of plywood.
For cinderblock with voids, I much prefer a hollow wall set with an insert and bolt to a tapcon. I find that the latter has a tendency to blow out the back (inside) side of the hole allowing for the rest of the hole to disintegrate over time.

Plans available: www.diymontreal.com/product/swing-out-wall-cabinet-with-sliding-doors-pdf-build-plans/
This would probably work good in a laundry room too.
after sanding the sliding doors you could also put pastwax on the top and bottom tracks to help it slid aswell

You're probably right about that; I'm just too lazy 😜
@@DIYMontreal You don't strike me as the lazy sort. More likely you're not OCD like me 🙂

Very true! Love it.
Absolutely!
Hopefully, will make a celebrity appearance at Princess Auto someday soon!
AGREED! And must say, it is great to see that there's so much Canadian talent out there 🍁💪🏻
Firstly gather all tools, materials, etc. and only then start building.

Definitely! Thanks 😊
I love this build and overall the way you film it and explain the way you went through the build. Thank you
Appreciate that!

Great tip!
Slip It is a great product for a sliding door/ drawer/ whatever that is a bit tough. A cheaper option is a good old candle tube along the track 😊

Brilliant build and you always cover everything great
Really appreciate your thought-out, fit-for-purpose designs; clear build explanations; and great looking results. And the way you say "eye ron."
Nice build. This would make the perfect storage cabinet for finishing, painting, etc. items.
Great designing going on there! I make sliding door cabinets often and a little paste wax in the groove helps a lot.
Love this project Marie! May have to borrow some aspects of it for one of my own! Thanks for a great build!
You can still add strength to the support screws that go to the wall by adding some washers.
Will look into that for next time
love the creative problem solving. great use of space. gives me some ideas for getting more organized space behind my garage door tracks. thanks for sharing!

Those are pretty slick.
Bravo 👍 c'est très propre !
Merci!
Super idée !!!!! Je l intègre dans ma shop merci marie
Super 👌
Really like this build, will be getting plans for sure!
Awesome, thanks!
