Howdy Everyone,
I had an area in the garage where the house could have been extended 
another 3 feet but it was not.  Instead of moving the wall for the 
dining room, which is on the opposite of this wall and wasted space, 
they just left a 3 feet deep by 10 feet long area of the house slab 
exposed in the garage.  The house slab is about a foot higher than 
the garage so this entire wall, or what would have been a wall, as a 
total waste of area.
I only have two walls in the garage instead of three so the radial 
arm saw was removed and stored.
I miss the saw not because of the saw itself but because of the 
massive storage under it .  I but a table, 12 feet long, and 44 
inches high.  Beneath it was nothing but storage for my rough stock 
and it could hold pieces up to 12 feet long.
Back to the project.
I had decided to put cabinets in the 3 by 110 "dead area".
After pricing the materials to build these cabinets, I could buy pre 
fabricated kitchen cabinets and stack them on top of each other to 
create my wall of cabinets.
I purchased 6 36 inch wide base cabinets and 2 fifteen inch wall cabinets.

I place three of the base units across the bottom row...then placed 
two of the wall cabinets on the two most left base units, and then I 
flipped the last three base units upside down and stacked them on op 
of the other units, the two with the wall cabinets and the remaining base unit.
I had to flip over the drawer hardware and drop the cabinet bottom to 
the top or now, the bottom of the upside down cabinet.
Now adding in the time, I actually saved a bunch of money doing it this way.
The cabinets too were on clearance when i got them so Eaves an 
addit9onal $50 on each base unit.

In case you are wondering why I did not buy another wall unit, I 
needed the extra open space between the cabinets and the ceiling for 
my TB, refrig, and stereo.
What is a wood shop without a TV, stereo, and a refrig to keep my 
"root" beer cold! (grin)

Later ya'll,
Dale
