Mike, when I have mine made and test fitted, I can ask him to make another. He can also powder coat to match.
That would be great, Nick, thanks. Maybe we can get a twofer discount. I'm still a few months away from that stage of my project but at least the cover will be ready to go! Let me know the details on the fabrication when the time comes.

like ur style. I have cabinet festish

I have two EPIQ three MASTER SERIES (they are in fact identical construction, I have talked and called snap on so often last five years, they recognize my name from my voice alone!) I prefer master bc the opening slide are more child proof. EPIQ u just pull, MASTER u need a slide motion


LISTA I also have, they are better than snap on for storage but SnapOn better for tools. I .ike their bearings. I can sit in the drawer ( in my attempt to evade the nagginge wife and noisy kids ) and u can open and close it smoothly like I'm not in it

saber is great quality and the service is wonderful and u will save a HUGE amount of money.

mech33 is a bad influence but a great help. Money####, if you are reading, you are just as bad an influence with your great garage set up. I bothered mech33 to no end last week to get my floor polished (997gt board "madness continues" thread, toward the end). large number of lista coming. wont be done until February.

I'll post the boxes I have or had in a bit.

mike if u want to know the relative price and quality of tool boxes (which is not the same as cabinets) ping me. I have had every thing under the sun

Yes, that was what I suggesting for a more economical cabinet besides my snap on. If you look at my pics earlier in the thread, the blue overhanging is a new age pro series(I believe)

I don't **** around when it comes to tool boxes

they had to diliver it with an 18 wheeler and an additional flat bed toe truck to get it off and into my garage.

Yeah, it's like a peace of art and would look great in a living room, just not sure the lady would go for it

Damn, not sure how I missed this, beautiful collection! Love those EPIQ's, mine has all the power tops/power station, shower and Urinal and bunch of other features I can't keep track of.

Yup, I believe that blue overhang you have is the NewAge Pro Series. However, I am trying to decide between the NewAge Pro Series (like yours) and the NewAge "Stainless" Pro Series they have out now. I think I am leaning toward the NewAge Pro Series (not the stainless.)

After two prior whole house remodels, saved & recycled Youngstown Steel Kitchen cabinets - added sturdy
wood countertops in our current garage (s). Floor is a dark stained concrete - big mistake. Drop a one of a kind fastener & it disappears.

Cabinets work well & look pretty good....also have a couple roller Husky (Home Depot) stackable tool chests & cabinets.

Very interesting....that's something I hadn't thought of. Thanks for the insight.

bump....

My Saber cabinets are arriving this week. What, if anything, do you guys use to line your cabinet shelves/tool drawers and where is a good source for foam liner or.....?
