Metal drawers (Not wood) LOL

admin

Decided I have had enough making wooden cabinets, so I made one out of scrap metal had laying around? Exterior paint is silver hammerstone and all other metal areas were primered.  Attached Images
Reply:Really excellent work!  I need to make only one drawer for the bottom of the welding table I just made and I envy your expertise.  Could you give us more information on your project, like what guage metal you used, what welding machine, etc?  Thanks, Steve.Lincoln Pro Mig 180Everlast PowerARC 200

Reply:Used mainly 16 ga thinner metal everywhere but the outer drawer face plates that are 1/8 th steel for stability. I have a plasma cutter I used to make my cuts. Don't have a way to bend flat steel so I used plasma to do partial cuts every few inches to weaken the metal for a easy bend, but kept the stabilty to hold lots of weight. Already had roller bearing style tracks, but you could use any decent metal drawer tracks from a hardware store. Used 1 inch square tubing structure for main frame but 1/2 on sides. 24 inche wide, 20 inch deep and 48 inch high. Had a spot in my garage that would only allow the 20 inch depth or I would had did a 24 inch depth to eliminate cutting my scrap 2'X4' sheets. Left top drawer(s) off to eliminate gravity issues. Heavier things placed in bottom drawer to help. You need more info let me know. Good luck
