   I designed a self-adjusting cabinet that would move up and down with the drill press table, using loose, rounded finger joints and long hinge pins to create accordion/bellows style storage. Unfortunately, the stuff inside refused to compress. ;-)

   It sounds a little like one of those "Acme Tool Company" units that W. Coyote liked to order from.
   Thanks for the image.

   Found my storage solution, bought this old blue telephone booth from some Doctor bloke. Seems to take everything I stuff in it. Hitch is it seems to disappear every now and then.wotI started out with nothing...and I still have most of it left!

   I can't stand having an open stand for any of my tools and make some kind of cabinet to sit them on.

   I made these a couple of years ago from odds and ends I had left over from other jobs. The two drawer is home for my Delta router/shaper. The top drawer holds my router & shaper bits and the bottom drawer holds other router/shaper tools, jigs, etc.

   The three drawer holds my planer and the drawers hold whatever I can fit in them.

   Dave,
   Those are some nice little cabinets. Almost too nice for shop use:)

   Thanks. A couple of my neighbors have said that some of my shop cabinets are nicer than their living room furniture. - lol
