Have any of you made a work bench/tool cabinet using strut channel.  I can get it for  little over the price of steel.

I'm thinking something that approximate this but with cabinet doors instead of drawers.  Using back to back strut channel for the rear uprights and the regular stuff for the rest of the framing.  Then covering it with sheet. I would build 2 of them.
Roughly 10'L x 30"D x 8'H, sitting on casters.

With the price of premade tool storage at places like Harbor Freight, I would be surprised if you could build it cheaper.

But, it’s still awesome to see what people come up with!

Nothing to add except I’d add an additional power strip on the other side from the current one to make it more convenient.

I hadn’t thought of doing that but I love the flexibility that gives. I need to look into that!
