@kasnerd here is the new cabinets my dad had built in his new garage. His garage is a 3 car tandem, so he decided to do the back area as his workbench and tool storage.
The slide out shelf’s/drawers for tools turned out well. So nice to not have to rummage through deep cabinets looking for a specific tool. He’s got 4 of them this time around rather than just two. He also had them make the corners into a lazy Susan thing for easy access.

A ceiling fan above a workbench. Genius!

 

[Slim-Whitey]

What is it?

It's a 10 tonne press. Not enough to really play, but it was 200 bucks.
With some sleeves and dies, it'll press bearings and races, and maybe do a little bending.

I was gonna say that's a downgrade until you posted the pic of the single car section.

I've lived with kitchens that weren't that nice.

Press works. New pinion bearing and seal and I'll be off and away.
Set it up in the basement cause fuck doing this shit outside in the cold. Don't hold me accountable for the shit on the walls, we didn't do it.

That's a tiny fucking press. I can get a 20 ton for a couple hundred from harbor freight.

Harbor freight must sell some real shitty stuff. Even princess auto is more than that.

Mine is just made to be bench mounted. Which I'm fine with.

Lol right?
This is his 5th home with cabinets like these installed. It’s so worth it if you have the funds to make it happen. I really want to do something like this in my garage but it’s just so damn small that I barely have room for anything nice like this.

 

[Slim-Whitey]

I don't intend to ever have cabinets like that. Gorgeous as they are, they won't stay clean, and I like plywood anyway. Melamine isn't durable enough for me.

I'm bringing home a truckload of 1/2" plywood this week from our temporary hoardings at work. I'll glue it all together and make up some 1" cabinets for the shop. It desperately needs more space.

Holly shit slim. You mean to say that there are crazier Canucks than you up in the North Pole. That's some mushrooms and peyote shit right there

It was some quality peyote.

Honestly boss, I'm tame as fuck.

You'd have a hard time telling.
