Shop Cabinet / Secretary - #NWW012

A real space-saver

Difficulty: New Woodworker & Up

The NewWoodworker.com Shop Cabinet / Secretary was designed to reduce workbench clutter caused by paperwork of various kinds using space that could be better used for projects.

At 31"-tall, 25 5/8"-wide and 8"-deep, this Cabinet / Secretary easily fits above most workbenches and adds useful storage space, something no shop has enough of.

The tilt-out writing surface lets you keep instructions, notebooks and other paperwork handy, but out of the way. The tilt-out door covers a large storage bay in which often-used hand tools, clipboards or manuals can be kept out of the way, but easily accessible.

Though designed for the shop, the Cabinet / Secretary can easily be converted for use in the kitchen, pantry or elsewhere in the home by using your favorite wood. No design changes are necessary.

This is a good project for even the new woodworker as basic construction techniques are used. If you are un-familiar with raised panel doors, this is a great time to practice a valuable skill. The Plan Set offers more information on building raised panel doors, and alternatives if you would rather not use them.
