I made this stand last year for my Nova DVR XP & now I finally got around to building some storage drawers to go under it. The stand has 6 bags of sand down in the bottom for weight/stability. The frame is 2X8 at the bottom and doubled 2X4 construction everywhere else. I put a plywood skin around it for added rigidity and made a 2-compartment case for storage. The top is part of an old solid core door from a bank that was remodeled.
The new addition is the shelves in the case. 22" wide, 18" deep, various heights, 100# heavy duty full extension self-closing drawer slides. The drawers are from 1/2 Baltic Birch plywood with 1/4" bottoms and 3/4" Baltic Birch fronts. I made the drawer handles from Oak. Next up: a lathe tool rack. For now, most of them live in the top right hand drawer, the others are on the top right of the stand.

This is the basic stand

Drawers in one side before adding the drawer faces

The finished product - 6 drawers varying in height from top to bottom
(about 2-1/2", 4-1/2" and 6-1/2" if I recall)
