I just completed 3 more shop carts/tables.  Here they are lined up along the left side wall of the shop: drill press/band saw cart, scroll saw table (to the right of and sitting lower than the 1st cart), and at the far end a cart for my stationary belt/disk sander and grinder.

Here's a better look at the drill press/band saw cart & scroll saw table.  The drill press cart has a lot of storage behind that door.  It holds my RotoZip, trim router, reciprocating saw, sanding drum set, and forstner bit set.

Here's a better look at the scroll saw table.  It sits rather low as the table of the saw needed to be at a comfortable height.  If I find it's a little to low, I'll add wheels.  As with my other shop carts/tables, there's a large storage shelf below the table.  Since it will be a little hard to get to it will be for seldom used equipment.

This shot is to show that my skills are improving a bit.  This table was constructed using my Kreg Rocket Pocket Hole Jig.  It really made one sturdy table with nice tight joints.  You can see my corner braces, used to attach the table top from below and a "cross-brace" for extra table support.  Using my new Delta 2-speed planer made even this cheap pine look good.  It also saved me from the time consuming sanding I used to have to do.  Only a little touch-up sanding was needed after assembly.

Look up above the table and you'll see my new Marvin quartz heater.  It does a great job of heating the shop, in fact sometimes I have to turn it off for awhile.  I can adjust the angle left/right & up/down and it has 2 heat settings.  Only $50.

This is the cart I made for my belt/disk sander and bench grinder.  It has 2 wheels on the back legs (like my planer cart) so I can move it out as needed.

Inside the cart, I'm able to store my angle grinder; a tote with my belt sander, palm sander, & old 5 1/4" floppy disk holders with 1/4 sheet sandpaper in 3 grits.  The clear box has sponge sanding pads and sanding belts for the hand held belt sander.  Behind all this there was enough room left over for the big belts for the stationary sander.

I built a new mobile work bench with a vise.  It will be a big help when assembling projects that I need to be able to get to "from all sides".  Also it should be helpful when applying finish to projects.  I'll be able to move around to all sides instead of reaching awkwardly around the piece or trying to move it.  The bottom will be for cut off storage.
