I have been working on making a cabinet under my new drum sander , Not done yet, I have to do the drawer fronts and little shelf insert on one end. But here is what I have right now. I am going to the lumber store tomorrow and pick up some wood for the fronts.

Great start so far Herb. Very creative and thought out to maximize the available space.

Looking forward seeing the finished unit.

Great idea! You can never have enough storage space.

 

Nice pocket hole jig, too!

Reminds me of a tornado shelter, plenty strong. Good work..

Good work Herb.  More storage is always welcome in any shop.

Sanding dried glue will ruin sanding belts so don't forget to use your card scrapers first.

    And Grizzly has the rubberized cleaner belt cheaper..

And don't forget to save the wore out belts for patterns. Buying them already cut to size about doubles the price.

Another thing I'll pass on....You might aught to check the price of the conveyor belt then you will know why I cut a piece of 1/4" BB to keep the belt covered anytime the machine is not being used...

  Someone was mixing paint or stain on my sander and somehow some got knocked over and didn't tell me. I blame it on the cat.That little flat area is a premium in my shop.

Lew that is one of the gems at Harbor Freight, It is a dandy, all metal. I got it on sale with the 20% off coupons for around $35.

way to go Herber...

nice job...

Nice use of space, Herb, but you just HAVE to stop baiting Stick like that! Wouldn't want him to have a conniption.

Your favorite charity wouldn't be "Snork Mountain Congressional Library and Taxidermy", would it?

I think his favorite Charity is Spanish Peaks Coffee Co. He is Majority Stockholder and top customer.

Nah, been in line of some sorts all my life...happens a lot when your last name begins with a "Z"

Up Date on the cabinet under the drum sander.

I finally got it done, finished the drawer fronts yesterday and were dry this morning so put them back in the cabinet  and filled them up with sanding discs and belts.

I don't know why the second picture is rotated, it is upright in my computer, and I took it the same way I took the rest of the pictures with my camera. This really bugs me when it does that.

Very Nice! Great Job
