X-Carve Workspace Showcase

I’ve been busy with other life tasks lately, but I did snap a few photos of my stand once I reached a decent stopping point. I’ve added one of the two missing doors on the left side that swings up to act as a keyboard shelf. the rear section on the left will be for a dedicated shop vac for the DWP611 when I get that running with a dust shoe.
The stand is the standard I’ve established in my shop for fixtures: 4 box jointed posts of birch ply with a birch frame. cedar trim where applicable, such as around the table top, around the drawers, etc.

The top is a MDF torsion box, with a cork cover to reduce resonances, X-Carve is attached with L-brackets , and I added some 1/4" hardboard/masonite shields for the Y rails that are attached via 3 bolts to the maker slide.

Base has a rack for the controller, power supplies, PC, and any other rackmount equipment I’ll be using (there’s a receiver in there for eventually wiring up the shop sound system). Since I’m in a small shop the drawers hold all the bits and tools as well as other things like fasteners that I used to store in this part of the shop.

I tried to upload some more photos but it’s being a bit touchy right now
