treeslayer Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 pic is of a router cabinet i built last year, 25"X50" top with a rocker lift. my shop is small (one car garage) and after coming from my previous house that had a 50'X32' shop i had to find a solution to my space problem. that's were all the drawers come from, i had to use that space for storage. the cabinet is oak plywood with solid oak trim and drawer fronts. if anyone has small shop solutions i would love to hear them. as a side note when we bought this house with the one car garage my wife said" can out woodwork in there"? i told her i"ll woodwork in the back seat of the car if i have too! hope you like the pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raefco Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Nice cabinet and nice use of storage space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyG1960 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Nice! My router table takes up about the same amount of space in my cramped one-car garage. Yours makes so much better use of that space! I'm going to look at mine again when the garage temps are fit for man and see if something even remotely similar will work within my existing table frame.

Coop Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 In the medieval days, garages were meant for cars. Then came wood. Not so much anymore. Nice cabinet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeslayer Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Thanks for the compliments, I threw a little money at that thing but I can't believe how much stuff I can store in it, I know what cold is jersey, I'm in eastern Iowa , 10 below zero tonight, I heat my shop with a 220 volt overhead heater, works great as long as you keep it clean, I blow it out with the air compressor one a month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon_t Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 I see there is no miter slot. how would you do say rabbit in on the end of a long but thin piece of stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeslayer Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I know I debated putting in a miter slot, even bought the track but never put it in. I just use a square scrap of wood if I'm making stub tenons or rabbit, longer stuff goes on the table saw. I may put one in someday when I have the time or the need.

dwacker Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I see there is no miter slot. how would you do say rabbit in on the end of a long but thin piece of stock Easier setup to run a coping sled against the fence on a router table. No need to square the sled to the slot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davestanton Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I like it! Think I may use the 1/4 and 1/2 inch drill in a piece of timber to stand all of my bits on their end as well. Thanks for the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
