Keep growing! 💪 💪

The plans along with the video are spot on. It’s so good I built two of them. One for my Wen drill press and another for my Wen band saw. The drawer storage is worth the build alone. Great job Brad, and thanks for the easy to follow plans!

Brad, I just build the drill press stand from your plans. Normally, I would have designed my own - but I was really interested in just getting this project done quickly. The plans were easy to follow and I think it came out great! The storage in it is fantastic and that's the main reason I decided to build it. Thanks for sharing!

The drawer handles you link in the instructions came with 1" bolts. Can't work with 3/4" drawer and 3/4" false drawer front. Had to find #8-32 x 2" bolts at an old time hardware store. Alternative is to drill ~7/8" deep counterbore for bolt head, inside the drawers, which would be a pain. Your tip on cabinet drawer slide spacing is great! Worked like a charm.

Yes, I too wondered how he did this with "the included hardware". Thanks for the dimensions for the bolts I'll need!

Something is up with the plan site. It's my fault but I have been charged 4 times for the plans but no link in email to download. I can cancel the multiple charges but how do I get the download link?? Great project, by the way.

The top drawer in the video is the same as the three below but the plans call for a smaller height drawer. The face place is the same as the others though. The video looks like the top 3 are all the same size.

Another thing. Why put the two spaces under the top? Why not just put directly on sides?

Thanks, I built this stand this weekend and it turned out great. As a novice woodworker I can say your plans and video made this a great experience. I learned a ton.

I love your plans! The best thing about your plans, besides me having to design them, is that they are so modular and can be easily modified. I just finished this build and put my own spin on it.

Binge watching FTBT to start planning for my new shop. This is going to be the perfect stand for my bench top band saw.

Just used your video/plans to build one of my own. Made some modifications for the space, my size (I’m petite), and using the materials on hand. She is already a huge asset in my shop and I don’t know what I did before I built her. Truly inspiring work you’re doing here! I share your video all over the FB group I posted pics on.

Just got these plans. We have been building your cabinets now for the shop. Out of all the KZread videos I have watched to get started, yours are the best. Thanks for showing mistakes, and thanks for being humble. You're a true treasure for new and intermediate woodworkers. Thanks for being so humble.

Randy, thank you so much! I appreciate the feedback.

Just bought your plan and will get started on it next week. One question for you: Did you bolt down the drill press on the top of the cabinet? If so, any pointers on how to best accomplish this? Thanks!

Good looking project

I built this, what a great addition to the drill press. It's great to have all of the bits for the handy .

Brad, I love your shop project builds. They look very nice, good functionality. Thanks.

So many good tips packed into a video! Also this makes us want a bigger drill press...

Oh, no! Does Evan have drill envy? LOL! Love you guys you always make me smile. Fix This Build That has my project list out-of-control according to my wife (she just wants to park her car in the garage by winter) but that's a good thing. Thanks to both channel creators for such quality content!

Excellent plan, Brad. Worth every dime of the seven bucks. Right up there with Wood magazine in terms of straight forward instructions, understandable drawings and simplicity. Just bought a 12" Wen, like Al Maleki, and am eager to give it a really cool home. Thanks.

Hey Brad - Thanks for the great video and plans. I just built this one (had the same drill press as you!) and swapped out walnut for the drawer faces and trim around the top for a little extra something. It looks great and is a really nice addition to the shop!

I just finished this. Excellent plans made building my first cabinet/drawer project straightforward and fun.

Clear and concise video. That is what I like.

Bought your plans and built the cabinet/stand. When I started to fill the drawers, I discovered I had many more drill bits and types of bits that I had forgotten that I had purchased over the years. Love your easy to follow plans and am going to build your work table and drawers next.

That's the drill press I'm getting next. I also have a old 8" drill press that I just gave away and that 12" Jet press will be perfect for my small shop.

That cordless router is awesome.

Very easy to follow you with this build... great job you made it look so easy.

Some more awesome storage bro!

This was amazing! I watched it about 50 times, and bought the plans. Did this project last weekend and it turned out great. Took me a day and a half, but I was ripping plywood with a level and a circular saw. First time doing a project with drawers and slides so I watched your other videos about making drawers and doing slides. Ran into some issues but got it all figured out. Did Maple pure bond with Gloss oil poly and it looks amazing. Now that I have drawers figured out I’m making some nightstands this weekend! Thank you! I may have watched all your videos now. Good stuff for beginners! Now to buy a drill press 😂

I purchased your plan and decided to give it a try. I commend you for providing a very clearly laid out and understandable set of plans . I had never built anything with drawers before, but I was able to complete this and it looks great. I will be mounting a very heavy 12 inch Disk sander on top and plan to keep all my sander related supplies including my two palm sanders. I have since downloaded a couple of your other plans, I look forward to my next project with the rotating top allowing for you to use two different tools on one cart. Thanks again for a job well done. Regards.

I loved your video on how to build a Drill Cabinet. Liked the way you put it together and explained everything. Unlike some who have KZread DIY programs, you didn't come across like a smart alec or know it all. You were very down to earth and I know you can teach this old dog some new tricks. I've been woodworking since I was in my 20's and now will soon be 67. I've seen and heard a lot about woodworking but I just can't seem to get that knowledge to go from my brain to my hands. Made be you have a magic wand that can do that! ROFL!! :D

I'm always amazed at how a thin piece of wood is able to prevent something from racking...especially on the large IKEA dresser I put in our nursery...sadly, I didn't have enough time to build one. Also, do you think something like this would be sturdy enough for a planer? Maybe a little bit wider?

I did this by fixing four industrial castors to a redundant 3-drawer cabinet. Minimal cost, minimal effort,, saved dumping a perfectly useable cabinet

Awesome build. Love the video/editing work! Curious what camera(s) and lenses are you using?

Great work Brad. Every time i watch your videos I'm in the shed 10 mins later building something....

Hello Mr. Rodriguez,love your videos! I have a question,I am finishing a shop cabinets with false drawer fronts. Can you tell me how do you measure for each false front? Thank you.

Awesome build video. I was muchly impressed with the number of tips. tricks, and cheats you used, AND explained in detail. The info for using spacers in your drawer slide assembly was worth the price of admission right there. The one thing I saw though that was MOST impressive is your use of your saws guard on every cut you made. I'd likely be preaching to the choir here saying this simple act puts you head and shoulders above ALL the other idiots online, by showing noobs, and even "seasoned pro's" how you can use a guard, and still somehow manage to make square, precise cuts. Until this point I was certain all the people using the hot dog cutting saw used the wiener saver device as their only safety feature. Made my heart glad to see someone with a brain doing vids on KZread.

Nice project.. i like it..

Looking forward to building this for my new WEN/Jet Drill Press. I have the same one you have which is built by WEN for Jet. Or maybe it is the other way around either way great drill press.

Great build. Now you need a drill press table.

Just great! Something else I want to make. Ever thought about having some side wings off the sides for longer pieces?

watching from philippines

Still in process of completing. Just installed drawers. In my case they all open and close nicely. However, four of them starting from the bottom don't close flush with the cabinet. I think I need to remove the slides from the cabinet and use the adjustment tabs. The result I'm hoping for is that when the drawer is placed back into the cabinet it will now be flush with both drawer glides. Then I can attach the drawer box to the slides (i.e. no gaps between drawer box and glides). Would this be your recommendation. (note: it's my first time building and installing drawers). Thanks. Your plans and video are great. I'm not an expert (yet) but I think certainly past the newbie stage.

Nice

I bought 3 used metal mobile file cabinets cheap. Made tops for each out of plywood and mounted my planer, belt sander, drill press. All done in one afternoon. Less than $120 total.

Just finished this project today. I swapped the expensive drawer rails for some thin strips of hardwood and saved a good bit of $$.

Thanks for the great video, Brad. I'm 5'8" and I'm wondering if I'll need to adjust the height of the stand so my drill press is at a comfortable height. If you don't mind my asking, how tall are you?

I actually used the bottom half of a Craftsman mobile tool cart for my drill press stand. I was able to take a couple scrap pieces of ⅝" plywood and make the top and bolt the drill press to it and then bolt the top to the cart.
