Popular Post curlyoak Posted December 9, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 I copied this design offered many times on the web. I made this from left over materials. The sides and bottom are q sawn ply. Face is solid q oak. The cubbies on back left and right is cherry ply faced with solid cherry. And the top is the few sappy boards in a load of cherry I bought 2 years ago. The cherry had been well stored for a long time. Maybe 40 years. Part of an estate sale. In the rough there were twists, bows, and cupping. Normal rough distortions. I think the long term storage has made the boards more tame. I think the memory to revert is completely gone. Because the board I picked was loaded with sap and allowed just one face. So I could not reverse the rings in the glue up. But I felt it did not matter with this calm cherry. No wheels. I installed high density very slippery plastic on the bottom. I expect the need to move the cabinet if lowering the table was required will be rare. But if needed is should be easy to slide it on the plastic. This time the shoemakers children did not go barefoot! PS the drawer faces are 3/4 cherry ply. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 You put that together very fast. You just bought that drill press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curlyoak Posted December 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 Here is a better shot.With the knobs. $1.08 ea. at Home depot. I like the idea of having floor space storage and not need any square feet to have it. Just re-using or sharing the same space with the drill press. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 That is a beautiful cabinet for your drill press. I swear it's better looking than some of the furniture in my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know because you share your work here. I like your work. You don't want this work in your house. There is no finish other than the top and face. And it was quick. The drawers are not dialed in but work. Cherry ply face and no edge work. Also I got lucky on a good picture. This is built for shop life. I say it is a nice cabinet and drill press accessory. Not ready for prime time in the living room. A good tool that should last. My only purchase was $18 for the drawer slides and $3 and change on the pulls. Fringe benefit of being a woodworker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
