Why not? I had a couple router tables sitting around, so I conglomerated them. One table had a fancy Incra top and components, but a rough cabinet made from plyboo. I decided to salvage the plyboo (it's $250 a sheet here in Seattle) and, using my clamps as spreaders, I carefully ripped the cabinet apart. Here's how it looked before destruction:

I'm a fan of SketchUp, and the metric system. So, I built the entire project in SketchUp before starting, just to make sure I would have enough material. (And it's great for generating cutlists, too.) Here's how that looked (credit goes to a few people that did the Incra modeling and posted to the SketchUp warehouse):

Because the original cabinet was oversized (very tall), it made for an awkward chest-level working height. When I rebuilt it, I built the plyboo cabinet into a metal frame (that's the other router table I had sitting around), resulting in a standard-sized cabinet. I was able to salvage just about everything, including the fancy Blum under-mount soft-close drawer slides. I added some Philippine Mahogany for the cabinet faces, stained them dark to contrast against the lighter plyboo, and finished in poly. Here's how it ended up:

Now maybe I'll use it to build something.
