Trash to Treasure! Look What I Saved from the Dump!

This Drill Press stand/workbench is versatile and mobile in the shop! In this DIY project I took the bones of an old kitchen cabinet that I salvaged from the Habitat for Humanity store and refurbished it with the objective of a multi-use tool stand in my modular style workshop garage. It holds my 1960's era Delta Rockwell drill press along with a Harbor Freight Hercules benchtop grinder and Bessey 6" steel vise.

As I transform my man-cave into a full woodworking shop I am keeping in mind my limited space as I add tools and storage.

FESTOOL NOTE: I have bought all of my FESTOOL products on Facebook Marketplace with the exception of the Domino. If you have patience you can get them for a much better than retail price.
