I'm a new member and thought I would introduce myself. About 6 months ago I accepted an offer from my son-in-law to use his garage as a shop. He lives in his father's house (The father being a 'snow-bird' and only there about six months a year) Because of a recent promotion and the LOML getting a full time position at the same college I work at, I had the cash flow to think about equipping the shop. First I built a workbench

The top is 3 1/2" Southern Yellow Pine as are the legs.
Then after the wife bought me a new router I built a table for it,

It's a little like Norm's, the top is from Woodpecker and I used a Router Depot fence core, which I will replace as it is not square. I especially liked the plumbing fixture I found for dust collection http://thomjoy.us/00005.jpg
Then I started a toolbox (not quite complete yet, it gets drawers for those pidgen holes)

Thanks to Jim Becker for the idea. Its 3/4 MDF with a laminate added. I could not place an angle as Jim showed, but it worked to bolt it to the mobile base! The legs are just props as I'm waiting on the leg brackets from Rockler.
Seem to keep losing that last pic..
