Shop Made Drill Press Stand
My better half bought me a little benchtop drill press for Christmas, which is a great addition to the workshop. I was lacking the bench space to store it though so built this little bench for it out of scrap that was around the workshop. It's stable and as solid as a rock, and gives me a place to store all my drill bits and containers of fasteners too.
Basically I built two side frames, then joined them up and put a top and shelves in. It's not the prettiest of joinery but I was trying to use up the scrap pile!

Great idea keeping machines off the workbench. I always build stands for anything new that I get, and if you can get away with using leftovers, it's even better.
Good thinking putting the extra shelves in, as any extra storage is always a benefit.
I got a spindle Sander for Christmas, and the first thing I did was build a stand for it. I had some cheap lockable castors laying around, so they went on the stand so that I can move it around and use the sander on the stand, or wheel it over and put it on the bench if desired.Dallas
