Paulk Smart Cabinet Plan

The Paulk Smart Cabinet is a modular, high-efficiency shop storage system designed to maximize interior volume without the cost, weight, or complexity of mechanical drawer slides. Using a system of dedicated shop-made router patterns and fixtures, you fabricate both the cabinet carcass and drawers with precision-routed dados and integrated travel stops. The result is a rock-solid, ultra-smooth sliding drawer system with no expensive hardware required. Built around a scalable grid, this versatile design isn't limited to a single size: use the included patterns and alignment gauge to build the standard 4-drawer base unit, or easily adapt the geometry to create both shorter and taller custom cabinets to fit your exact shop, van, or trailer layout. Plans are delivered by downloadable PDF.
