Built a Basic Mobile Workspace (BMW)
I wanted something that could easily move around the shop with me, and keep all the various sandpaper, nails, screws, and other odds and ends organized. I wasn't sure what to do until I saw some Ikea metal shelves sitting in my basement, unused, and waiting to be repurposed. Here's the link to the shelves -- https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/helmer-drawer-unit-on-casters-black-20341970/ -- and I happened to have them in red. This was nice, as it matched some existing Craftsman metal toolchests I had! I bought some new 3" castors (see link/image for the specif ones) and used them to replace the mini wheels that came with the drawers.
I used some leftover plywood to make a base and a top, and screwed everything together and it was done in no time. I simple coat of danish oil to help protect the top was the last step!
