homemade tool chest project
ok so what i want to do is build a 72" tool box for my garage to store all the new tools im getting for school
wants/needs
big 19 drawer drawer toolbox modeled after a big snap on
top cabinet that has a locking garage door type cover that hides everything, when its open i want there to be peg board on the back for hanging stuff like drills and impacts, standard outlets, and i flouresent light and everything needs to be lockable
suggestions?
questions
what should the weight capacity be on the drawer slides
where should i go to get decent ball bearing drawer slides (preferably cheap)
how long should the slides be if the tool box is going to be 20" deep
how should i set up the locking system for the bottom box
will post pics later of what i want to model the box after and give idea of the top box im talking about any help would be appreciated

dude. i work as a tech at a honda dealership. i know how much a snap on or matco box is. if you're trying to save money, do yourself a favor and go to harbor freight and get a U.S.General box. here, clicky the linky.
