I see the cabinets are on a little concrete pad but is there a toe kick to go under them?

'72 K5 - Greg's @MightAsWellK5 Build

This is the build description. I will improve this later. (GB)
The concrete lip is 3.5” tall so I decided not to bolt the supplied legs to the cabinets. Keeps the working height reasonable and that cement lip effectively becomes the toe kick for the cabinets. Nice byproduct of this setup is there is no empty space underneath for dust bunnies and spiders to accumulate!

well planned and beautifully executed as we have come to expect from you.

Admittedly, there isn't much going on with that website (yet) but at least I put a few dozen photos in that photo gallery so now there's something fun to look at.

Too bad it's a restricted website on the old company computer. Sure glad they haven't tagged CK5 as one of those yet.

This shop build is taking just as long as the Blazer build.
I remember when I was young and single..... things went faster in those days.
Progress is still worth sharing, if for no other reason than to prove I'm still alive and haven't stopped dreaming about keeping things moving along.

I like thems cabnets.
Thanks... I do too.
Glad I didn't just go basic black / grey (most common color for NewAge). The Platinum / White looks nice and ended up matching my carbon grey ceiling paint very well (total coincidence).
Using the lower 2-door base cabinets as "uppers" was a LOT more work due to the depth involved, but it's starting to pay off, and I will appreciate having the extra storage depth I'm sure.
You can never have too much floor space or cabinet storage, I'm convinced of that!

There's been a lot of talk about getting things off the floor in other shop build threads. I would have never even thought about that. Now I'm trying to wrap my head around how to get everything off the floor. I've got way too much and not enough room.
Now that I have the trolley hoist setup, I’ve already been scheming to store my big hydro-bender in the upper mezzanine area when not in use. (Just find the balance point, weld on an eyelet to the bender and up...up...and away! That frees up probably 16 square feet of floor space for other tools I want / need and gives me less clutter to trip over.

I’ve been eyeing those cabinets, they look to be really nice units
Man, you going to need a step stool or small ladder to get to those upper cabinets.
I can't complain.... they aren't LISTA quality, but the whole thing is a really big step up from my small Craftsman rolling toolcab. Having 14' of workbench will be a nice new luxury as well.
2-door "lowers" as uppers is working out just fine, I'm glad I took the risk and tried it.
