After buying my new (to me) Atlas TV36 I thought it was worth making a cabinet so I could get my bench back!
I bought some 2x1 & 1x1 box for the frame, a quarter sheet of 5mm plate for the top and some 1x1/2 box for the fence to try and retain the swarf.

Making the fence,

Then cut the top with a rip saw fitted with a TCT blade.

Then attached the fence and seam welded the outside in the event I eventually fit a suds pump (unlikely)

Then made a frame for the bed to sit on.

Next was to attach the legs and make a frame for the base.

Before cutting a shelf. I then notched the shelf to maintain the leg position at the base in case it pulled during welding, then I attached the lower frame.

Next was to mount my cabinets and make support frames which I welded to the stand.

All that’s left it to drill the 10mm mounting plates and weld them to the top for some additional support.
I bought some 2x1 & 1x1 box for the frame, a quarter sheet of 5mm plate for the top and some 1x1/2 box for the fence to try and retain the swarf.
