  • I added a simple lifting mechanism. There is a retractable foot pedal that presses against a split sheet of plywood. When the cabinet is lifted, it easily rolls on a set of polyurethane casters. When retracted, it sits solidly on four adjustable feet.

  •  The top is three layers of 20mm baltic birch that were glued and screwed together. Here I'm making adjustments to where the router lift will be installed. I decided on an offset after having made the top.
