I just built this base cabinet style table. It was a bit pricey, but has plenty of drawers for end,mills, clamps more. My S5P w/ VFD should arrive next week.

Mike, Thank you! I designed it using Adobe Illustrator, but I don’t have the dimensions called out, only a few notes. I don’t really have much experience building cabinets. The cabinet and top are 3/4" Melamine, and Red Oak was used to make the face frame. The drawers are 1/2" MDF with Red Oak faces. I did attach a pdf file if that helps at all. The top measures 62" x 36". cabinet is 59" x 33" x 35" tall.
As for job pricing, I haven’t gotten that far yet: I’m sure whatever I charge won’t be enough. 
It’s mostly going to be a hobby, so if I at least cover my costs, that would be a start.
Good luck on your build my friend.

I used the largest Rockler Rock-steady bench kit. It is a bit under sized, but I used butcher 2 block tops that overhung slightly on each side to reach the minimum size. I then used the Lowes glue-up panels on 3 sides and bottom to box-in the frame.
