Yellow Boy in the photo is fiberglass, modern replica steel frame, his other 32 and his 31 are all original frames and bodies and he purchased them many years ago, I don’t know where -

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?
