I've just been given a MIG welder (and an Arc Welder.. but something tells me I'll be starting with MIG) and I need to build lockers for my sharpening business so people can drop knives and tools off, fill a form out, leave payment and lock it all safely outside my house. Thanks so much for this video, it gets me so far ahead in planning.
Yeah, I think this was 14ga so not quite as prone to warpage. I didn't have access to a brake press at the time and I wanted to see how it would turn out with the angle. I didn't plan on having the doors formed, that was kind of a nice surprise, I was planning on building them with angle like I did the cabinet.
A lot. All professional kitchens are stainless steel, it looks great but it's gotta be expensive. Not to mention, there is A LOT of skill involved to fabricate sheet metal without warping, denting, scratching, etc.
Thanks for watching! I believe I made it all out of 14 gauge steel. I did beef up the top by adding a length of 2" square tube. I wanted the top to be a bit more stout since I was putting a bench grinder and a belt sander on it.
If you're table isn't flat, mine has a crown to it so the middle is higher than the edges, then this helps keep your pieces straight. If you can get away with only using 3 shims then, in theory, your part should come out flat no matter how jacked up your table is.
José Enrique Roca Sorry it's taking so long for part two, having a new baby kind of changes plans! I will try to get it put sooner than later though. Thank you for enjoying the video!
Mitch Dunlap hi would also love to see part two. I'm thinking of making myself a metal mail box to hang on my gate but I've no idea where to start hence why I'm watching your videos. If you have any tips for a noob like me, I'd really appreciate it! You're doing a great job by the way and congratulations in regards to your newborn :)

That's awesome, sounds like a fun project!
I love how the dog keeps slowly inching the frisbee towards you as the project goes on. Excellent work on the cabinet body!
heckin' nice project. also, super nice shop! i love the grinder rack at 5:40. wouldn't mind a shop tour vidjeo, i dig your organizational setup.
Thanks, I appreciate that! Good idea on the shop tour video, it would be a real short one though haha! Thanks for watching!
Very skilled fabricator
Great work man.
I just did a project that used 16ga steel sheet. Had some warping, but I see where you used the angle iron, I'm assuming that was to counter that?

It looks good, we are also a strong manufacturer of sheet metal fabrication in China, with high quality and competitive price.
How much would it cost for kitchen cabinets in steel?
A lot. All professional kitchens are stainless steel, it looks great but it's gotta be expensive. Not to mention, there is A LOT of skill involved to fabricate sheet metal without warping, denting, scratching, etc.
Thank you. Wish you were in Los Angeles
What are the width of the sheet metal you used
Looking to do something similar. What are the cabinet measurements?
Is Budweiser the only beer that works for this kind of project or will any cold beer do?
Anything cold, that can respectably be called a beer, will do.
Brilliant work. Please advice on the sheetmetal thickness for the top and sides. Kind regards

Great stuff thank you
At the beginning of the video what is the benefit of shimming the pieces off the table ?
If you're table isn't flat, mine has a crown to it so the middle is higher than the edges, then this helps keep your pieces straight. If you can get away with only using 3 shims then, in theory, your part should come out flat no matter how jacked up your table is.
What gauge of steel did you use for the panels?
14 gauge for the sides and doors, 11 gauge for the top.
you are the best thanks
Thanks for the kind words, glad you liked it!
very useful video
Excellent job.!! Please, what kind of welding are you using? Thank you!!
Jayme Mendonça Thank you! That is Mig welding with gas. Also called wire feeding
Making identification attempts for the variety of twice-speed songs in the background audio is successful as additional entertainment
Haha some of it might be 4x to 8x speed!
Please part 2. Pleaaaaase
