after I got through making the drawers for my MLCS router table I was looking at my junked up Jessem table and decided to do the same for it.
Another set of Drawers

Put the drawers in and found that the top one was too shallow for my router bits so i knocked the top off and extended it up 1 1/2"

Then I found the router bits were still too long to close the drawer so I drilled holes in the bottom to let the shanks extend down thru, but only half the bits fit so just put them in the second drawer.

LMAO. If you notice in the first picture of the box there is a cut-out filled in on the bottom. Well that started out as the top. When I tried to slide the box in over the front angle it hung up on the router lift. So I cut a hole for that and the box went in and dropped down 2" and I lost 2 " of room inside. So I took the front angle off turned it over to be upside down and then I could just slide the box into the stand. I still didn't have room in the top drawer and since now I had some room at the top, I figured if I raised the top ,it would allow the bits room , but it didn't.

Thanks for the compliment. I am getting good at covering my mistakes. These are pretty basic cabinets, a box, drawer guides, drawer boxes, face frame, drawer fronts, and pulls.

Nice build Herb. If you keep this up in another year or two you might be a real woodworker. :wink::laugh2:
So why did you get another router table?

I have always had 2, they come in handy to make a setup on each one. the sliding table is nice for making cross cut edge profiles.
I also have 2 Table Saws, 3 drill presses,2 band saws.
I suppose that some of you are wondering why the sides have rabbets at the top. Well that is another mistake. When I was rabbeting the side panels on the TS, I rabbeted the tops instead of the back.
It came in handy though later, when I extended the sides up I utilized it as a lap joint for the strips I used to raise the top.

I bought them on sale for about 1/2 price 3-4 years ago and got a bunch of different lengths, from 10" to 22".
The listing above has free shipping, most want $9.00/ pr. for shipping.
