For the last 8 years I have been storing all my Plastruct product in boxes. I decided to take some time to build a shop cabinet to store the product in. I have Sundays only so this will hopefully be a weekly update.
The construction method is one I have used many times in the past for other shop structures. Platforms are built with corner blocks glued and screwed to each rail. There is a hole in the center of the block for a carriage bolt. The posts have holes drilled in them so they can be bolted to the platforms. The shape of the posts is such that they can be pulled tightening to the platforms when the bolts are tightened and are pretty much self centering. All angles are 45 degrees so the cutting is actually fairly easy.
Since the posts are simply bolted to the platforms this construction system would make for a good knock down train table table for traveling shows.
Hopefully next week I will start the drawer system.
The stocking system as it now exists.
A cross section of the post - all angles are 45 degrees
A corner block. The dado in the rails are for a shelf - platform is upside down
The bottom platform bolted in place
The basic carcase
I had an old top that fortunately fits
Drilled a hole then tapped in a threaded insert for leg levelers
