Modular Part Cabinets
I recently got several Lyon modular part cabinets that need a few more
drawers. Where can one go to find drawers at a reasonable cost? Do the drawers from other brands interchange? What brands do you favor and why? Thanks TMT |

Okay...let's try something different.
I have some very nice Lyon cabinets without enough drawers. Has anyone made drawers and shelves to fit a Lyon, Vidmar, Lista modular cabinet? If so, do you have any advice? Thanks TMT |

--I've got a couple of Stanley Vidmar cabinets in my shop; IIRC I
got the long dividers directly from S-V (fancy pieces with slots on both sides that match those in the sides of the drawers), but I made the smaller cross-wise dividers myself.

Modular Part Cabinets
--Well I'd get 'em at the source. Not sure because I haven't been
down to the shop today, but, IIRC, there are some clever geometries on the sides of the drawers that lets them be pulled entirely out of the cabinet if need be. Assuming you don't want to do that a whole lot you could probably get by with stuff from the local hardware store and kludge up your own, either out of steel or wood. -- "Steamboat Ed" Haas : I'll have the roast duck Hacking the Trailing Edge! : with the mango salsa... www.nmpproducts.com ---Decks a-wash in a sea of words--- |

Modular Part Cabinets
I think I may be doing some homemade drawers and shelves....my usual
sources of surplus are coming up empty. On the Lyon cabinets (which are very well built and why I am willing to go to the trouble), one could make a homemade bracket to hang drawers and shelves. I have access to 19" rack slides which are heavy duty and making a drawer out of wood is simple enough. Considering new the drawers are between $120 - $200, I can buy alot of wood for that. I can also do some bending and TIGing to make some specialy drawers where metal would work better. I find it interesting that few surplus sources for these drawers have surfaced. It explains why this type of cabinet (Lyons, Vidmar, Lista) holds its value in the used market. TMT |
