Customer Reviews
This was a great build project. It was my first time making drawers and a cabinet type base. The instructions were clear and the video was a lifesaver. Good work!!
I have very limited space for tool storage in my garage, so small that I cannot store my drill press with a table on it. Therefore I added Wen Drill Press Table storage to the back of it. It works great!
Great, easy to follow plans. I had to use smaller casters to bring the overall height down for the 12 inch drill press. I have purchased multiple other shop plans that are still waiting to be built.
The plans were easy to follow for a beginner. Even with a couple of mistakes on my part it still turned out better than expected .
I had several issues with the build. Several were minor and overcome, one was more serious.
- the casters specified had very large mounting holes and none of the fasteners specified in the plans would work. I had to find alternatives (not a biggie)
- the drawer pulls came with mounting hardware for a single drawer face I believe but with the false drawer fronts the screws needed to be 3/4" longer. I watched the video where the pulls appeared to work, something off there (OK, getting annoying)
- steps 4-6 need to be swapped with 7. That way the slides are in place and drawer width can be physically verified before finishing the drawers with no recourse. This would be a simple mistake proofing. I ended up with 4 of 5 drawers slightly (1/32") too wide and had to route out a slot to make the slides work well. I watched all the videos multiple times but the plans are assuming perfect cuts. Not good. I am just starting out so steps that can check fit before gluing and mailing are important. This really needs attention.
- another niggler, 3/4" breads are used in the build sequence but not listed in the materiel BOM.
It looks like these plans have been around a while, I would have thought they would be cleaner. I will be looking around for my next build plans. Hope this helps.

Love the plans, and the ease of building this - looks great in the shop with my 12" Jet Drill Press - it would be AWESOME if you designed a Drill Press Table at some point in time - but this is a great project!
