    Improvement

    I built a rolling shop cart that fits underneath my floor standing drill press. The cart fits around the column of the drill press, has adjustable extensions to hold large work pieces, and stores all my bits, and accesories. It came from plans in Woodsmith and has been a great use of wasted space. I also like the 60" x 37" European style workbench I built.

    Building a 4' x 8' assembly table with 12 drawers and 4 cabinet sections underneath. Plenty of room to work and store everything.

    Cleaning up and a clamp cart. I can actually find clamps when I need them, and the clamps actually make it back to the cart when I'm done (usually)
