Under-Shopsmith Storage Cabinet

Post by Beave2012 »

So I recently got a 520 from a family member at a great discount, but realized I needed a cabinet to store a lot of the accessories. So for my first project I built my version of the under shopsmith cabinet. I also wanted to contribute to the online community so I posted my process to instructables.

My question I have for you guys is if there are any ideas for middle cabinet. I was thinking a vertical drawer for chisels, but that leaves a lot of space still. Any ideas?

Your question is interesting but the site to which this link applies is more interesting and somewhat dis-concerting. I normally do not connect to sites that I do not recognize.

With regard to this link - who are you?

Instructables is like pintrest that does a step by step build for projects for do-it-yourself people. I did it so people could see a step bY step process, which I couldn't find when I tried to build it. I found loss of pictures but no instructions.

As for me I'm just a new hobbyist woodworker who finally got back into the garage from our Minnesota winter. Finally warm enough to build stuff. Lol. Anyways, maybe tonight I'll boot up the pc and try to attach a picture here.

Updated original post with pictures in case someone doesn't want to go to an external link. Although they did get cropped weird.

I would love to do that, except I think I would just have to remake it. Not sure if i can post that website's PDF even though I made all the content. I will have to check.

Nice work, it turned out great. I may have to use your design since I just obtain a new Shopsmith and there are a lot of extra pieces. Thank you for sharing.

Beave2012 - I saw your post on Instructables yesterday - great post there and here. One question - How well does your machine roll around with the extra weight of the cabinet?
