Storage box for Milwaukee Compact Router

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Storage box for Milwaukee Compact RouterI recently bought a Milwaukee M18 Compact Router, and since it's a tool I won't be using often, I decided to build it a storage box right away, so I wouldn't lose any parts before I have a chance to use it.Pine sides, about 1/2 inch thick, dovetailed, with 1/4 inch Baltic birch plywood dividers, a 3/4 inch pine bottom (with a ship-lap joint between the two boards) and a 1/4 inch khaya (African mahogany) top.
