Rolling multi-drawer tool cabinet: Any suggestions?
I am wanting to build a rolling tool cabinet with multiple drawers and was hoping I could get some suggestions on where to start. I'm not going for the "work of art" thing, Pine & particle board would work just fine. (I hope I didn't just commit a sin by saying that PB word! :eek: ) I just need something functional. Any links you can send me to would be great too!
Thanks

Thanks to all for your suggestions and pictures. What great idea's. Those are very close to what I had in mind which only reinforces that I'm on the right track. I agree about using good quality wheels and bearing slides. I have never worked with full extention slides so that will be a challange for me in itself. Hey Paul & Bart, what is the height of your cabinets? (once again , looking for a starting place)
Thanks again for all the help!

HOLY COW! I fell like a kid in a candy store! What great suggestions. With all this help I should be able to build a tool chest that could blast off into outer space! ;) Brad, you took the words out of my mouth with doubling it as an outfeed table. I have to share my shop (garage) with wife's car so space is at a premium ... and the advise on tilting the slides back so the drawers won't all open and only using the rollers on the large lower drawers are excellent thoughts too, thanks Bill & Paul. I'm going to try to work something up this weekend, I'll post some pics for approval.
Thanks again everyone.

Scott, no relatives in that area that I know of but that's not to say that we're not from that same clan from the old country. I'm from Brooklyn, 2nd gen American as is all of my family. My grandfather came over on the boat in the early 1900's from Palermo Sicily.
Tell nanny I said hello and that's nice to know that I'm not the only "G" out there!

Scott & Bob, I guess we were nieghbors, I'm a Greenpoint boy! Boy it's a small world, huh! I only lived there until I was 8 then we moved to Missouri but I've been back plenty. It's stays in your blood.;) Nice to meet you both.
Anyway, here's what I cooked up so far on my tool cabinet. Pocket hole technology is so cool! I'm still puzzled about the correct way to install the drawer slides and what would be the best material to make the boxes out of.
