Like others, I decided to forego purchasing the toolbox from Axiom and make my own. Buying the toolbox would have certainly been easier. This is what I came up with...
I built a box inside the stand frame, added a black face frame, a full width drawer across the top, and three more down the left side. I sprayed them with Metallic silver to match the aluminum top, then used a cool product called WebFX from Chroma Craft to match the angle and color of the side panels. I made custom knobs and painted them green to match my logo and the on/off knob on the control box. On the side, I added a black panel with metallic silver shelves. I decided to add holes for bit storage, a dish on the top as a catch-all tray with the Axiom brand, and a soda/beer can holder on the bottom.
I originally was just going to make regular drawers then decided to make them cool looking and practice with new techniques and materials. I think it got out of hand.
Phase two of this build will be storage down the side. I have to reroute my dust collection before I can do this.
Thoughts?
