I have one of those shops that has a 2 car garage door on one side, so space is somewhat at a premium. This past weekend I built this little cabinet to fit under my drill press. It is approximately 24"x20" and is the same height as my table saw, so I can use it as support table when I am ripping plywood.
I built the carcass out of 3/4" and the drawers from 1/2" Baltic birch plywood, with a 3/4" MDF/melamine top. The edges were trimmed with some hard maple. I used 100lb full extension slides and casters from Woodcraft.
I'll throw a couple coats of poly on it this week after work and load it up next weekend. This was my first complete face frame cabinet, and while I didn't get the reveals all perfect, I learned a lot in the building process.
