Very nice, indeed.

Looks great.

Very nice, shop cabinets that look like real furniture. Excellent, making use of all the space under there.

looks like Herb is giving you a run for your money

Thanks for the comments, I am not quite sure what the cubby holes on the ends are for, but I am sure something will find their way there.

Wow, that is really nice. I too have built cabinets for all my bench tools, but I haven't yet gotten around to putting drawers in them. Putting a door and/or tight fitting drawer fronts like that on your stands really helps keep the sawdust out. I like the way you made the cabinet to fit within the steel frame.

My DP sits on a cabinet that was originally designed to keep my shop laptop from freezing. It had a radiant barrier lining, plus 2 inches of foam lining the entire inside and a greenhouse thermstat that controlled a 40 watt incandescent bulb. A thermometer inside showed it never got below 45 degrees, even with freezing weather and snow outside. The foam lining precluded drawers, so I installed shelves separated by vertical 1/2 inch ply. I should probably add drawers, but that would require pulling out the foam insulation. I just can't bring myself to do that. The thermostat now controls the heat in my office shed and keeps the computers and printers warm.

you both have better skill sets and it shows...

Nice job Herb. Can always use extra storage. Now you can buy more stuff to fill the drawers. Helps the economy.

Wow, that came out really nice Herb. What color is that stain? Really nice!

I just bought a new thickness sander as well and mounted it on my 50 year old radial arm saw base that I finally gave up on. So I will be stealing your idea. I never would have thought about putting drawers under it but it's a great way to make use of that space. However, mine won't look as nice as yours. You did an excellent job.

What a great way to use that space, Herb. Looks really nice.
