Very well done. Other than relocating the switch, maybe to the other side, I don’t see room for improvements! -
Since I got great suggestions on my drill press table, and since I'm currently a very slow woodworker waiting for Spring with little new progress to show, I'll cover another old project. I build this about 15 years ago. It's the Norm Abrams router table with a commercial Bench Dogs Tools ProFence. I bought a top because I was nervous about my ability to make one. I don't think I'll ever build myself a version 2, but this is due for some modifications. The top on this thing is plenty big. In fact, I often store various things behind the fence more or less permanently. The major thing I wish I had done differently is the upper drawers, which are meant for storing router bits. By my quick count I have storage for 72 1/4" bits and 132 1/2" bits. I have a tiny fraction of that, as you can see, and unless the rate I'm acquiring new ones picks way up, I'll never reach capacity. In retrospect, I wish I had just made drawers and then could fill them with whatever (including router bit organizers). The plexiglass front is really only useful so I can see that I've forgotten to turn on dust collection (my shop vac), otherwise it being clear isn't all that helpful. What I would like to do is move the power switch, which you can see on the right side on the first photo above and which I run into with my clamp rack frequently, to the front somehow. The bottom drawers are great. No complaints. What else should I consider changing? -

Sweet! Those old hotrods were still relatively common when I was a kid in the 70s, but I haven't seen ine in quite a while. Thanks for sharing! -

It is a beauty, he’s in his 80’s and has his original ‘32 he built in high school, chopped, dropped and channeled, flathead and has another 31, top chopped with full fenders, small block Chevy, he does all his own work, probably one of the top guys with flathead knowledge, and he drove a Top Fuel dragster, competing with Big Daddy Don G, Prunhome, great guy to hang around with -
