My New Undermount Storage Solution

Hi all,

I just finished my undermount storage system and thought I would let you guys see it. The backbone is two lengths of angle iron recycled from a metal bed frame and bolted to the support legs. These had the extra benefit of stiffening the Mark V. Underneath these I bolted on a lightweight cabinet that holds two boxes that contain all my associated equipment. A third storage space is open for general storage. On top of this I mounted a table on which I added storage for the fence, my crosscut sled, throat plates, and miter gauge. On the back of the table I added magnets to hold my blades and a cutoff PVC pipe to hold my extension legs. What do ya'll think?

A very original take. I like it.

I think that setup would solve my jumping all over the place when turning large out of balance blanks when turning bowls

Nice job.

Very neat idea!!! I like the bed rails and will look into them for mine so i can weight the unit down for turning....I have some rail road rail pieces..

And I thought I was the only one had that problem??? The other little thing I run into is when using the chuck it's hard to get the inside of a project done without a lot of vibration...

thanks, bill

I have been working on my own design, but I really like yours! May have to make some changes and use some of your design!

Thanks for sharing!

I find the design nice and very roomy but would the box storage be in the way of your feet when turning ? Just asking.

Wow what a great idea and MAJOR space saver! A great space for storing the big stuff in an out of the way place,close.

I can see adding a piece of plexiglass as a top, to help keep "stuff" out, and to help with keeping it a little cleaner. We have enough to clean up now:D

Great idea and design.
