    Finished the drawers for the hardware cabinet. Now the tedious task of sorting hardware and labeling everything. Replaced our old mailbox with a lockable mailbox and worked on our taxes. 2 out of 3 is not bad.

    I have found that even when you check "your store" inventory at Lowe's, they still may not have it. I have had that happen to me once, the website said there we 6 at the Medford store, I go there and they had none. The BAG said that happens a lot. Just Remember - LOWES = Less Of What Eagle Sold

    Those boxes look awesome! As for me, drawers for my hardware cabinet and a few other misc. items to do in shop. Probably work on our taxes too.

    @Smallpatch - I went with 2 jacks so I could "level" each side of the cabinet top when I use it as an outfeed table. My shop floor is not very even and I have noticed on my old saw and table that in one place in the shop all was good, if I move the saw and table, then the table was not "level" with the table saw table.

    @Grandpadave52 I have submitted this to WOOD and I will probably submit to Woodsmith too, if I do not hear back from WOOD. I got the lifts from Amazon - best price and free shipping

    @Dadio -yes, the top is MDF. I put some poly on it then johnson's paste wax. Sometime down the road, I will put some laminate on it, but I did not want to do that right now. BTW Herb, my shop is not really all that clean or large. Before the remodel, I had to go outside to change my mind.

    @schnewj - I thought about the automobile scissor jacks but they were taller than these jacks when collapsed (at least the ones I found). I was since the goal was for this to also fit under the extension table and storage, I wanted something that would allow me the most height for the cabinet. I could have used shorter casters, but I have found the shorter ones do not go over cords and such as easily. As for stability, they are heavy and they are very stable. The most trouble I had with this project was getting the cabinet attached to the stands. There was not a lot of room inside the stands, even when raised to full height.

    Thought I would post this over here in the "SHOPS" section where I could "tag" it if someone else was looking for ideas. As I have mentioned in previous posts, I have been working on a Table Saw Storage unit for under the extension table and an outfeed table. I have combined the two so I can store the outfeed table out of the way when not needed. I can also use this as an assembly table. I used 2 motorcycle lifts to raise the cabinet off of the base to level it with the table saw. Since my floor is somewhat uneven, I went with 2 lifts so I could adjust for a slight slope (if needed) and for more stability. Here is the base with the two lifts and casters attached (not many PIP photos) Under the extension table in "storage" Showing 3 of the 6 drawers (sorry it is blurry) Showing the blade storage in the back In position as the outfeed table View of the lifts under the cabinet The entire cabinet is made out of MDF (scraps I had) and the base is from a failed project a few years ago. Projects like this help me use up some of the scraps that I have accumulating around the shop. Thanks for looking

    Those doors are going to look really nice! Have a great time with Ron and Dorothy. As for me, it has been a really LONG week at work, 4 - 15 hours days, and I am not sure how long today will be yet, so I hope I will not be too tired to get into the shop. I have to get the wife to finish painting the table saw storage/outfeed table cabinet, while I need to finish my systainer storage cart and start on the drawers for the hardware cabinet.
