Let's see...
Sheet of 4x8 birch plywood: $25
Sheet of 2x4 plywood: $12
2 sheets of 1/2" MDF: $12
One 8"x11' hardwood plank: $25
Hinges (big and small): $20
Drawer knobs: $10
Casters: $16
Electrical stuff: $20
Total: $140
Already have: Sacrificial extension cord
This does not take into account the extra wood I'll have to purchase to build the drawers. I consider those optional for the moment, and will make them once I have a dovetailing jig. But this is enough to complete the bit drawers, utility compartment, and router compartment with front doors.
And of course...
Satisfaction of saying "Yes, I built that...": Priceless!
Pictures will follow once complete and I'm at ten posts. Wiring will be done hopefully by week's end; I'll post pictures of the completed unit when it's done. Thanks again for everyone's help!
