The uppers he made the doors like 3 or 4 inch deep boxes. Most of them on the inside he put peg board in and hung tools and such. One of them, he made little shelves with a lip on them. In these tiny little shelves he put baby jars full of small nuts and bolts. It would take a very skilled carpenter to replicate them. Quote Selected
