I've made this small box that sits in my locker at the local maker-/hackerspace and lets me quickly setup for some electronics work. I'm in the process of building a small adjustable power supply to fit under the drawers. And also see if I can find a soldering iron to fit in there.
The boxes on top are not stored there but the workbench was designed for the them to fit on top. When closed the space up there stores a powerstrip and the lamp. (more info here: nisker.net/projects/mini-electronics-toolstorage-box/)
I've got a large version of this as my home electronics workbench at home : nisker.net/projects/mew

The drawers have been rebuilt and refinished and new green felt liners were installed.
Every drawer is different and the drawer guides are made to match. It can only be assembled with the drawers in a certain position. I laid out the drawer positions with ,050 thousands clearance (less than 1/16 per side) on each drawer.
. The old screw holes for the pulls were filled and finished.
.Some drawer pulls-knobs were missing, and none of the remaining pulls matched. New pulls-knobs were purchased and installed Pulls are of brass w/ an 8/32 screw from behind.
1/8" Red Oak ply has been added to the top of a box made of scrap plywood. The drawer guides are made from clear pine that I cut out of new door frame molding.
The top trim is Oak molding and the bottom trim was cut from Oak Lattice.
The sides are made from pine. Dark Oak Stain and Maple Stain have been used in different area because of the different absorption rates of Oak and Pine.
Carpenters glue, brass screws and finishing nails were used in the box's assembly.
Finish is three coats of Semi-Gloss Varnish, sanded in between coats w/ 220 grit paper,
Final finish is a light rub of 0000# steel wool and a final coat of wiping varnish applied. ( regular varnish thinned 50% w/ spirits )

locked and loaded with tools, it is almost complete, final stage is adding the lid stay, then I can begin the finishing process.
Portable pegboard that I made for my nephew to store tools that don't fit in his tool box. Probably also useful at a job site, to keep tools from getting buried in a tool box. The tray on the backside can be used for fasteners, etc. The close construction tolerances should keep small things from being lodged in cracks on the sides of the tray.
Design appropriated from one that my father made.
