Well friends this is how far things have come since the last pictures.
I've built & installed all the drawers to hold the tools from my mechanics tool box & doors. I still need to make the drawers for the Jet Spindle sander that will be inside the right door & Grizzly Portable Planer inside the left door & wire the whole cabinet for plug-ins for the afore mentioned tools & the CMS & Shopfox Mortiser that will set on top. Then I'll make some pieces to go between the partitions right directly underneath the top. The top is a piece of 3/4" MDF the will be edged with a bull nosed edge like the rest of my tool stands. Which you can see at my web site.
I came up with a unique way to raise the spindle sander once its drawer is pulled out. In the picture with the right hand door open you can see a plywood box it has a false bottom with a wheel-barrow inner-tube under it. The Jet sander sets on the false bottom & when its drawer is pulled out I can shoot the air to it & raise the Spindle Sander between 5" & 6" & install 4 pins to stabilize it. I did a mock up of this & it worked real good. :)
