Am I correct in assuming that the outer cabinet has its back wall in the middle? How thick is the outer cabinet? Could you provide some dimensions? I actually built the inner cabinet a few years ago and never got around to hanging the doors. Part of the reason is it did not hold my larger tools and many of the accessories. If I added your outer cabinet that would allow me a place for my large tools, tool rests and center (some of which are on the shelf). Did you use 1/2 or 3/4 plywood? It looks like 1/2", if so what size hinges did you use.
Sorry for all the questions but I love the design.

Wow..nice set up. You are way, way more organized than I. If you took a pic of my turning corner you'd see tools laying all over the place, shavings everywhere, stacks of wood under my feet, etc....hmmm...maybe that's why I can't ever find anything.
Do you contract out your "organization services"..my wife says I need some help in that area

I have to say that is about the best looking tuner's cabinet I have ever seen. Well done!

Very well thought out, designed and executed! A whole lot more orgnanized than my turning area. Nicely done!

WOW!!!!!! John K. is proud today. Organized. No clutter. Dust free!!!!! Your turning corner makes you grit your teeth every time you turn the lathe on. Nice job.
I turn, therefore I am

That's as fine a turning corner as I have ever seen posted. Very organised. Everything looks to be in reach of the lathe.

I really like the doors on the tool cabinet. I have a similar rack in my turning area, but no doors. It can be a real mess when roughing out a lot of green bowls. Nice job.

Looks far too organized, but looks great too.

Very nice. I hope you intend on getting it messy...

Very nice setup John. The tool cabinet is beautiful and I like your dust collection hood on the lathe
I was sad because I had no shoes,
Then I saw a man who had no feet
