I’ve had a mess/junk problem around my drill press for a long time. There is actually a shaper under all that stuff in the “before” picture above. When LWLL posted her drill press cabinet, I put it on my list to get done ….. sometime.
Well, the sometime finally arrived and I now have most of the mess cleared
up. Of course I couldn’t resist a little veneer and have left the sides for some sort of marquetry in the future, just for fun.

The photos show
The new setup
The old setup
The rough cabinet with space for table tilt mechanism
Hammer veneering the edges
And the top, some 1/16" Khaya, also hammer veneered
Thanks LWLL!

Well, all I can say is I WISH I had a cabinet that beautiful! Veneers!? MARQUETRY? It makes my heart smile knowing you do these things JUST for yourself. Because you deserve it! Beautiful work!!

Paul,

You’re welcome. Okay, I surrender; you win! ;-)

You never disappoint us with your artistry. And when you get the marquetry on the sides, you’ll need to move that nice looking piece of furniture into the house where it belongs!
