Good garage storage transforms a chaotic workshop into a functional one. These wall-to-wall base cabinet plans create a continuous run of tool storage with a solid workbench top — built from plywood for under $300.
Design Overview
Build individual box units (24″ wide x 24″ deep x 34″ tall) that stack side by side. A continuous 3/4″ plywood top spans the run. Upper cabinets (12″ deep) mount to the wall above.
Per-Cabinet Cut List (24″ unit)
- Sides: 2x 3/4″ ply, 23.25″ x 34″
- Top/bottom: 2x 3/4″ ply, 23.25″ x 22.5″
- Back: 1x 1/4″ ply, 22.5″ x 34″
- Shelf: 1x 3/4″ ply, 22.5″ x 22.5″ (adjustable)
- Door: 1x 3/4″ ply, 22.5″ x 33″ (if using doors)
Key Tips
- Level the first cabinet carefully — shim if needed. All others follow from it
- Double the top layer for a heavy-duty workbench surface
- Leave a 4″ toe kick recess at the base — your feet will thank you
