Comments on: Old dresser = rolling tool cabinet http://www.craftynest.com/2009/07/old-dresser-rolling-tool-cabinet/ As a compulsive crafter and decorator on a budget, I launched Craftynest to share practical and pretty DIY ideas.

It's a great idea, and one I'll probably need in the future. I don't have enough tools right now to need one, but that will probably (hopefully!) change as I get crafting this summer and later on. On a side note, I have a small dresser right now that needs a drawer bottom replaced. It's the perfect size for my small wardrobe, but that drawer is so gross that I've been putting off filling it. Now I can fix it and get my laundry room cleaned out! Thanks for the tips on that one. This is probably one of my favorite tutorials. It’s a great idea, and one I’ll probably need in the future.

I'm wondering, though, would a regular dresser like this work for my husband's power tools (ex: drills, power saw, sanders, etc)? Or do the drawers need to be reinforced for things that heavy?

They seem to be holding well, but I haven't overloaded the drawers—mostly because they would be too heavy to pull out.
