A high-durability, wall-mounted shop cabinet combining the structural rigidity of standard SPF 2x4s and 1/2" plywood with a clean, functional 16-gauge aluminum sheet face. The aluminum front serves as a dry-erase surface or a base for heavy-duty magnetic tool organizers. Internal 2x4 framing members prevent sag and anchor the cabinet to studs, while leftover aluminum sheet stock is optimized to create custom hook hangers.
