Now I have a wall of shame after that.
Great job.

Looks good! Nice selection of wood too! My projects are usually made of all that cheap knotty stuff.
Your shop looks great and very neat clean, and well organized.

I made it out of something called Agathis Plywood, Philipine Mahogany, Honduras Mahogany, and some pine.
I have to share a two car garage with one car, so most of the time, I need to cleanup and push everything to one side. I don't have much wall space or storage, I thought this narrow cabinet would help, which it has. But, still, storage and room are a shortage. I would love to have a second shopsmith as some of you have to eliminate some of the change overs, but there just isn't enough room.

Nice job, Pat! Very inspirational. Maybe your second project should be to make and sell a DVD on how to organize a small shop! I'm especially envious of that flat surface (workbench) with nothing on it.

My project is completely finished, hung on the wall, and most of it loaded. If I had it to do all over again, I would probably make it just a little deeper.
Hi Pat! Your project - especially for your first is most certainly very enviable! Good Work!!:D
I couldn't help but take notice of your observation that a little bit deeper cabinet would help. I have run into the same consideration after using my wall storage cabinets for a few years. This brings me to wonder just how deep is enough? Will deeper cause the unit to sag so that doors don't any longer fit? -or- How do I put my OPR in there?
My thought is that next time I will build any new cabinets deep enough to hold all of the things I wish to store there. However, I am brought to the conclusion that any cabinet depth will ALWAYS be filled with things that make me wish I had made it a bit deeper. Is this somehow related to a law of diminishing returns? (or one of Murphy's Laws that says - All available spaces will eventually be over filled.);)
GOOD JOB ON YOUR CABINET, Pat! ATTA BOY!:D

Pat, great job on cabinet. Can I come and play in your shop? It is much better organized than mine. Actually mine has no organization at all right now
I really need to change that. A lot of you guys that post pictures of your shop space make me jealous.
