With the new shop in full swing, I found myself requiring tool storage for both automotive (4th bay) tools and machining tooling (3rd bay). Having too many rolling toolboxes would eat up space and probably get a bit counter productive.
Sometime back I found a work bench build by a guy that goes by "Steevo" on Garage journal. I reviewed his post of his build using four HF 42" toolboxes. I really liked his choice of materials for his build and decided to build my own with a twist. This will not be a welding table, but will serve to tack jigs for axel work and such.
I also incorporated two stool pockets (on either side) for those tedious assemblies such as rebuilding carbs or building guns rifles etc.
The main frames are 2"x2" .120 wall, the angle iron that supports the toolboxes are 3/16" x 1.5"x1.5". The same angle iron will tie in the two frames and run along the sides to secure the plywood decking.
I built the frames then had to tie them in on the floor due to the size of the work bench.
I purchased some HD leveling feet and was very happy with the results.
At this point, a test fit of the boxes was next. They load in from the top and rest on the angle iron cross pieces.
