I had inspiration for this project a few weeks ago from a Google image search result - a place to store my router bases. The website is here and shows the inspiration:
I liked the idea of the cutout for the bits, and designed my own version. I didn't need that many spots and I didn't have the room for it anyway. This is the first project I created in Sketchup first then translated to the real world. This is also the first project I've done that turned out entirely as expected without any mistakes. I routinely make math errors, and I think laying it out virtually helped reduce those errors.
I still almost made one anyway. I set the dado up the first time and accidentally had the blade raised to the height of the material instead of the correct height for the dado. Luckily I caught that.
Here is the model:
And here it is translated to the real world:
And the link to the model:
I think if I ever redo it I will make the shelves two inches wider. But other than that, I'm extremely happy with it.
