Looking at the box photo you see a medium base with six bins on right with on deep wood drawer in stack. There is ledge on top to stack supplies or tools.
The back of interior has shelf with holes to hold tools.
The right end has two rows of boxes for wood stock or tools.
The top is a work tray with adjustable braces for holding a ship hull in work. The top assembly is removable to sit down and use as work base

Ok top tray is completed. Nice long removable work tray set on top with tabs holding in place on cabinet base.
Top has adjustable end brackets that can be set narrow or wide or if reversed a very narrow straight slot.
The kit comes with small black rubber tube that you slice and glue to top of brackets.

Ok started tough part of build with left end box for trays.
Read and review plans carefully before gluingnparts. You can use wrong side of endnpanel real easy
I built lower shelf tray and also cut and glued wood strips on all for pull handles. I used gel super glue to attach handles to plastic bins.
Then I started gluing support strips into wall panels and then top and bottom ending with adding inside panel for this section.

Next on to the right end assembly.
This is fairly easy as parts go one way only
Make sure the back panel I aligned up correctly. It has a front edge different from back edge.

I use one
I have had one of these for several years, but it filled up with tools and now its to small. Great for small projects or until you expand your tool set with a "l've got to get that tool obsession".
nice little organizer

Next to assemble is floor panel.
It’s two half’s with a splice strip, the strip acts as center spacer to floor to keep it level

Final assembly is glue two ends to center back board.
When doing this install the tool rack between end sections.
Then glue in the floor and hold it all in place till glue dries.
I could have used some medium length clamps to hold parts together. But didn’t have any available at time of build.
When done fill with tools and get back to work on ship models

I contemplated buying one myself, but I opted for plastic trays from Ikea with compartments for the various tools and materials for build.
That's great. Thanks for sharing.
Good organizer...easy to build. Another idea is to use fishing tackle boxes...the ones with the pull out plastic tray bins (usually three or four). I have two of these and store files, clamps, blades, stuff...whatever fits.
You know, this is really a nice organizer. I guess if someone were to run out of space, they can build two. I would like to see a final picture in relation to other things on the bench to get an idea of the size.
Donnie its 450mm w x 400 H x 300 Deep. Its Good for small projects if you did a pack by model process), but for larger you would need more storage. Here mine filled with bits to give yo an idea. It was good enough for several smaller kits it did from occre. However once I got to kits bigger that 750 in length it was outgrown.\
I still use it for storage after 5 years. My version did not have the upper spacers
There are now similar CLONE versions around these days or plans on instructables for other modeling storage. I got it as it was cheaper for me in Aus than the Hobbyzone options(US based) ( I still drool over their stuff).
Apologies for pasting in the log
