This sturdy wall cabinet delivers lots of storage options, including charging and storage for common handheld power tools.  Use the built-in door racks and custom shelving to easily customize the plans to fit your storage needs.

OVERVIEW

This cabinet is primarily built from one full sheet of ¾” birch plywood, including the frame, the shelves, the drill holder, and the door panel.  An angled platform with dividers made from ½” birch plywood is stylish and makes it easy to insert and remove batteries.  Built-in shelves behind the doors allow for added storage options for frequently-used smaller items.  Add a few quick-release couplers to easily hang your pneumatic tools.

Step 1:
Breaking Down Panels

First, break down all of the cabinet pieces to smaller, more manageable sizes. There are many ways to break down a full sheet of 4’x8’ plywood. One option is simply to ask your lumber dealer to crosscut the panel down to 1×33-1/2” piece and 1x 33” piece.
