[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 4024525, member: 14646"] Those are some great ideas. A small dorm fridge is high on my list of things to get. I like the cart idea for the tools. GOing to have to check into that. You are right about the enjoyment of the shop. Even if I'm not working in there on a project I find myself going inside and sitting on my mechanics stool just sitting there or opening up one of my directors chairs and sitting; doing nothing but relaxing. Will be even better once organized and cleaned up. I've thought about the plywood on the top of the 2x planks as well. if the 2x12s end up being pretty uneven I'll definately put plywood down. It's a great idea. THe garage in my old home had good used quality cabinetry that was sturdy as heck and we use good condition used 1.25" solid core doors with an Oak veneer on them. THey were the best garage countertop I've ever seen. The toe kick is a great idea.
