This is a modified version of some plans that were originally in Shopnotes #97. It was designed to house benchtop tools when not in use. When I saw it, I thought it would be a perfect fit for the Shopsmith.

I made some pretty heavy modifications to the dimensions. I added the pegboard lining, side doors and drawer. I just tried to think of everything I use when working on my Shopsmith and made it fit.

You can still find the plans and watch a video here:
