Well I got out late this afternoon and put a couple of hours into the base cabinet an got it completed. I still need to do a bit more adjusting the drawer slides. I am also one knob short on my drawers gonna have to make a run to Ikea and get me another pack of knobs.
Next up is the top and fence. I am leaning real heavy towards a phenolic plywood top if I can’t get the crown out of the butcher block top I picked up at Ikea for $10. I gotta see how that goes. It is gonna be a bit though as I am on the road for the next couple of weeks and a high school re-union next weekend so no shop time for a couple of weeks. Hope to get the design done though in the mean time.

Very nice workmanship. The only thing I found with my version which had drawers for bit storage was that I found them kinda unhandy when hunting for a bit in them. I did away with them & instead installed a 4” deep cabinet in under the top overhang at one end of the cabinet & attached with a piano hinge. The bits are installed in angled rows. Now when I swing open the cabinet, I can see all of my bits at a glance & of course no difficulty in finding the one I want.

Nice job sIKE. I am sure that Norm would also give you a thumbs up on this!! :)
I am looking forward to seeing the top on it. This really makes me want to get out in the shop with my set of plans and get to work- now that I have some free time.
