Rolling Drill Press Cabinet
My drill press is a Shop Fox W1668 and it sits on top of a Craftsman tool chest. With the weight of the tools and drill press the cabinet does not roll very well and it is a little too tall to use comfortably. So I decided to build a new cabinet to mount my drill press on. It has to be mobile, so it will sit on casters. Continue reading Rolling Drill Press Cabinet

Birch Bench: Under Bench Cabinet
In order to find some lost storage space, I decided to build a cabinet under my workbench. I don’t have many build pictures since I was in a time crunch to get it completed. Continue reading Birch Bench: Under Bench Cabinet
Rolling Router Cabinet
Another project over Christmas vacation that I wanted to tackle was a rolling router cabinet. Currently, I have a router table mounted on the wall with some large strap hinges. It used to fold up against the wall, but with the wall cabinet it no longer can. Continue reading Rolling Router Cabinet
