Nothing better than Lista cabinets.

If you take out the top few drawers you can lag screw up into the bottom of the wood bench top and secure it. That’s how it’s done at the factory I work in.

love the pro tip about the saw guide, we've all made those kinds of mistakes before.

Those cabinets are the best I know When I worked in a machine shop I was given the task of reorganizing all the wooded cabinets around the machines and the company went with Lista cabinets which I had to install These cabinets are heavy and solid as a rock Unfortunately when the company closed I wasn't able to reclaim some of those cabinets only cause I didn't have a garage only a basement and they would have been to big to get through the door and to heavy to drag them down 10 steps into the basement Dam shame for me would have loved to bring a few of those cabinets home for my wooddshop in the basement Lucky you of got them used cause they are really expensive new Those cabinets will last forever

I just bought some drawers with full extension slides off CL (32 for $25) which I have build a cabinet for. Getting a lot organizing tips off KZread! Thanks!

You gotta love these cabinets! I just picked up three of the 7-drawer Lista cabinets for $60ea at an auction...I know, that deal blows my mind too!!! Man, I couldn't get my old Craftsman tool cabinets listed & sold fast enough. Got rid of them by the end of the week & never been happier. I'm using two of the new cabinets as a stand for my metal lathe, which sounds like you may end doing too. Best, @HoneyOnWales

I got 5 - 6ft ones for $30 each from work. Too bad I was at the Cali campus when they auctioned off the remainder.

I predict you're going to very far

i did the same thing the other day to two of my cabinets like that, i just built a base and put some wheels on it so i can move it around. nice work.

I was screaming... NOOOOO to cutting that butcher block. I think a simple rounded router edge would look good.

Very nice. Love lists cabinets.

Hey, my friend ... good buy ... put some coasters in this beast. This thing is very heavy weight

Lovin the new bench cabinets. It looks very professional. I was also admiring your drill organizer rack. I need to build one of those.

Each drawer is rated to hold 400lbs and is 22"x22". I bought plenty of rubber kitchen cabinet liner for all of mine. I have several of the tall model of these.

Love the content (although brief)...always look forward to these episodes-they’re unique!...hope to see many more..

Great video, great idea 👍👍👍

Channel is coming along great! I run Lista cabinet work bench in my shop 🤗 Lista drawer organizers are expensive- should do a video on making organizers!

I like that idea...

Perfect!!!

You can take out a few of the upper drawers and secure the top to the cabinets with a couple of small lags. It will be rock solid.

Great idea, I’ll likely end up doing that

Nice job.

I really envy your assembly table but I live in the mountains where we have mice so cars have to be kept inside at night. Never enough room. Ordered a sticker and t-shirt to help out a little bit. Glad to see your channel growing.

Thank you so much and appreciate the kind words!

Enjoying the videos. Good stuff man. Was wondering to myself if cutting the top was the best idea if you’re wanting to get into machining down the road. The full length piece would have been a great base for a lathe. Either way it looks awesome, keep the vids coming.

Looks nice! I think the only thing I would've done differently is I would've made the guides, on the underside, out of the cut offs to kinda give it a wrap-around/waterfall kinda look but it's easier said than done. Nevertheless, I like the color combo of that baby blue with the natural look of the butcher block. Maybe bc it reminds me of my kitchen haha!

Great cabinets some foam in them know then tools

Nice, 👍👍

Love ur videos keep up the awesome work bro

Nice cabinets and top. Question. You added the guards on the left and right to stop it sliding are you going to add one on the back to stop it sliding forward too?

They are certainly some cool cabinets and it's great to see the Butcher Block top get a longer lease of life. But I wonder why you don't consider building your own heavy duty cabinets out of wood? No matter, I always love watching Shop Nation 👍

Because wood cabinets can’t hold 200kg per drawer.

Second to comment....!!!!! I’m as cool as you :) fine work sir, love your content!!!!!!!

Listas are the best. What is the height of your Listas?

I enjoyed the video. Do you have any videos on garage organizing, building shelves?

What are your thoughts on the Kobalt Circular Saw? Good value for money? Or do you think it's worth spending extra for one of the more expensive brands?

It has been fantastic for me so far. I got tired of my battery powered one getting bogged down or running out of juice - this has been a big upgrade 👍🏼

5 drawer cabinets retail for approximately $1599 apiece.

Pricey drawer cabinets for a shop garage in my opinion and I would rather build my own. I guess if you have the funds for them great. They sure are nice though.

They can be pretty reasonable used, I was surprised given how much they are new

Dont poly it oil it

Know you where tight on space there, but you threw away a lot of working space by cutting that much of the butcher block off.
