Spent the last week and a half cleaning my garage and organizing. I had to build cabinets cause I didn’t have anyplace to put anything. I finally got finished and the result is astounding. I should have done this long ago.

I'd be happy with your 'before' state!
tony,
mighty good for the soul, ay? did the same last year. as a special bonus feature i got rid of every tool, hand or electric, that was broken, every clamp missing its little pad, each dull file, all the useless chemicals and, in a moment of total, bliss-filled abandon, all of the scrap wood that i have known, with certainty for years, i will never use.
con hueves,no?

They're looking good. I'd like to do something like that for my garage. What materials did you use ?

I used 7/8 MDF that I get for free from a place I used to work. They make interior doors and use 97 x 60 sheets of 7/8, 3/4, 11/16 and 1/2 inch material. When they make a door that is only 80" tall that leaves alot of material left to go in the dumpster. They fill an industrial size dumpster once a week so they don't care what I take. The whole wall of cabinets cost me less than $200.00 for paint, hinges and drawer slides. I will eventually have this look around the whole perimeter of the garage.
I also make all my jigs, crosscut sleds, router templates and such out of it. I saw a post on finishing MDF and there is a beautiful finish on a chest and how he did it in another post which opens up an opportunity for me to use this on even more stuff.
for free you can't beat it.

Oh beautiful, Do come show me how you did it.
Your workshop?!!!!
I'd be happy if that was my living room.
