This is my latest project I drug home for free. It was in very good shape when you figure in that it's been outside for at least 5 years! It is missing the glass window, but I was able to have a new one cut for $22.00. The worn-out door seal was replaced with one made from a car door weather-strip. The only real repair work I needed to do was to replace the blower motor for the exhaust fan. I sanded it down and repainted it with some Rustoilizum Royal Blue. They advertise that you can apply it over rust that is not loose. Once it was sanded and primed, I used a spray gun to spray the outside. I have used it like that before and it has held up well for abused stuff like this. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The floor is made from some used deck railing spindles I had kicking around, it gives me a place to store some stuff like my chainsaw. The spindles fit the angle iron perfect and are just set in place.  You can also see the hockey puck "adjustable feet" I made to level the cabinet to the shop floor and get it up off the ground.  They use some carriage bolts and nuts to adjust and mount to the cabinet.
