Nothing Spent But Time

In short order, I was able to make some holders for all the various bits and in the end, I didn't weed out a single one. I figured since I have the room in an organized manner, I'll keep them for just in case. Ninety percent of all routing I do use the handful of bits in the lower right tray and the other 10% are out of the lower left tray. The yellow ones on both sides are rarely used anymore as I out grew them years ago  but the price was right at the time.

With the trays in, I scrounged around through my scrap bin and found several small cut offs of oak that must have been from the altar project and I had forgotten about them. I thought they would make passable doors so I spent a morning doing the joinery and gluing them up into passable doors. I also looked through my cabinets and found some hardware from our old kitchen which I will repurpose the hinges and handles for this case. I think I still have some cutoffs of plexiglass from when I made my own windows for the greenhouse that will hopefully fit inside the doors and keep the dust out while allowing visual inspection. 

If all goes to plan, I will have spend exactly zero dollars on this project in materials and only wasted some labor which arguably would have been wasted one way or the other.
