Here are several pictures of the cabinet I recently finished that will live below my workbench. I made to match the theme of my tool cabinet above the bench. The case is made from Cherry veneer ply with hardwood edges, the door and drawer fronts are from maple, and the handles are cocobolo. The drawers were more practice with hand cut dovetails, getting better, slowly, but I seem to find new mistakes to make! I made the sliding shelf behind the door from solid cherry (mostly small left overs), more dovetail practice. The whole piece is just resting on the stretchers of the bench for now, may have to attach if it moves around.
Should provide good storage for a while.
Thanks in advance for looking, and thanks to everyone for their thoughts and ideas,
Gary

NICE!
This maple has such a nice clean look to it, and compliments the table so well.

This is ridiculously beautiful, and your shop is outrageously clean. You are making the rest of us look like slobs and amateurs. <g>

Gary,
This is a gorgeous workbench. I daresay there are not many of us who would chose to use maple, cherry and cocobolo in shop furniture. Not only is the bench gorgeous but it also offers some much needed storage in your shop.
You have every right to be proud of this bench. Well done!!!!
Thanks for the post.
