Nice job! Lot's of good ideas there, like sloping the sides to match the slop of the legs. Where are the drawers from?

I should be able to scrape-up the basic plans. Drawers are from Lee valley.

Onetrack,

Outstanding build there and should be very useful. I have the accessory shelf but it is in the way of raising and lowering the casters on my Mark V (I have the 3") I think I would like to move to something like this and get reid of the shelf. I would sure like to have a sketch with dimensions if you wouldn't mind sharing.

Great work!

Nice cabinet. I want one!

I've never seen a planer hang on a wall like that. Is it hard to take down and put up? Please show me the mounting technique you used when you get a chance.

Nice looking shop.

I am curious though. Please tell me a little bit about the shelf that the bandsaw is sitting on and the brackets that are being used to hang the planer. I'll never hand mine there but I am still curious. My days of lifting like that are over.

I do like your head bump protectors on the bandsaw table. I must keep that in mind.
