A certain sander came with one of those real estate wasting enclosed cabinets with no door, no drawers, zip. Not in my shop; I gots stuff to stash . I had some scraps of ply that had sat around so long it got little black veins running through it. It was up off the floor so maybe it is just some Baltic Black Death. Anyway, perfect material for a shop cabinet. Here's the hole that the factory solid panel is intended to cover:

This thing is purely functional and was a distraction project (you ever have any of those?) so I just pocket-holed the drawers and webframes. I'm using a guide method that I have used on occasional tables and buffett's for folks. The runners guide the drawer from underneath and inside the box sides. They also act as a stop system when closing the drawer but, the overlay drawer fronts pretty much take care of that on this guy. This was an experiment as I normally use this method on drawers with hardwood bottoms. I added some UHMW tape on top of the runners so the ply should fare pretty well. For hardwood bottoms I just use a bit of paraffin.

I'm sure I'm not the first guy to use figure 8 fasteners as drawer pull stops :

Slap on a little shellac and she looks like this. The wheels are used wheel-barrow style on the rare chance when I need to move it a bit for access.
