I had a chance to snap some photos tonight to show some of the progress for those that are following along (Hi Mom).

Here’s the DC in place on top of the cabinet. Disc/belt sander fits where I originally had the drill press. Should have no trouble collecting all the sanding dust!

Here’s a “before” shot of the clamp rack that I’ll be rebuilding. Similar construction, just longer with slots that are closer together so I can pack more clamps in the same area.

And here’s the spot where the next shop cabinet will go.

Step-back cabinet spot

I’ve sketched out the rough design for the cabinet already. I’m considering a ”step-back” design. It’ll be 24″ deep on the bottom, then at 35″ up, it will step back to a depth of 12″ or so. I’m thinking of a drop-down door for the upper portion. The inside of the door could serve as a temporary worksurface when it’s down. I’ll post a sketch as soon as I get something.
