Very nice!

How is the leg/secret drawer mechanism made?
Dave Arbuckle was kind enough to create a Sketchup model of my WorkMate benchtop: http://www.arbolloco.com/sketchup/MauleSkinnerBenchtop.skp

Very nice! My son is in the USAF. He's an air traffic controller. In my last job, I was able to visit Whiteman AFB, home of the B-2. I was able to crawl around a couple of B-2's. A very cool aircraft. Not everyone gets that opportunity. At $1.2B apiece, they are very protected. Each B-2 has its own hangar by name.
Still Learning,

Hole in the back corner of the drawer, foot screws into the base and the screw fits into the hole.

That's a great looking box and even better because it's USAF
(I'm a USAF veteran)
