I needed a spot to store hand tools, measuring equipment, spare blades, my stacked dado, etc close to my Table Saw. Having some scrap 1” cherry plywood that was given to me and some hard maple, I decided to build and UNDER Table storage cabinet for my TS. It has four drawers, each with full extension slides. So far Ive had no problems filling it.
I posted details of the build on the MLW.com web site. If you follow this link http://www.mlwwoodworking.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=46&p=6837#p6837 you can check it out.
Have a safe and productive day in your shop.

Nice idea. I will be building something similar to fit under the extension table on mine. I was curious as to how it is mounted?

Bruce, this is a great addition to your saw. Making effective use the of “dead” space underneath the extension table is an excellent idea. I have been meaning to do something like this with my saw as well. This post certainly is an inspiration to get started (after I complete some of the pieces that my wife has “commissioned”, of course).

Medic,
I built the box with a solid construction grade plywood top that is glued and screwed to the cabinet side panels. Then, I marked off and predrilled holes in the top. Through them I screwed to box to the underframe of the side table. Of course, I had to do that before I installed the drawers. FYI, the case does not have a bottom.

Scott,
Thanks for the kind words. One question…. How big is the commision wifey pays? I’m always looking at ways to supplement our income. I have a difficult time getting mine to pay me at all. She expects it to be done for free! LOL. Have a great day.

What a great way to use wasted space. Keeps things off of the benches…..

I was thinking today that I needed to do something like that. Very nice and it gave me a lot to think about.
