Grandpadave52 Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Now that is real woodworking Herb! You certainly classed that sander base up with this addition. I really like the contrasts of the drawer fronts. The handles 'ain't half shabby either. Dadio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now since the stand sides are sloped , how did you slope the drawer fronts? Gerald the stand is sloped both ways. I built the case ends with the slopes toward the center of the drawers. Then I framed it out inside the case straight up and down so that the drawers are the same width. The front of the drawer box slopes about 5 deg. towards the back, that makes the drawer front close flat to the face of the cabinet. Since the case slopes front to back, and back to front the top being smaller than the base, the drawers have to graduated in length, i.e. the bottom draw is deepest and the top drawer is shallowest. Also had to have 3 different length drawer slides.

I think my kit came with a drill bit and bushing, and I bought a Kreg bit, it is the same for a back up. The HF bit is still holding up, We had a vendor demonstrate the Kreg jig for our WW club a couple of years ago, and he said to send the bits back to Kreg for sharpening if they get dull, don't know how cost effective that is tho.
