Hey William,

I find it interesting that you build a table that combines two properties of a table that both showed to be desirable among forum members: The [flippable table design](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/lessons-learned-for-flip-fold-up-down-tabletop/10129/2) for [saving space when not in use](https://www.fishersshoponline.com/product-page/fisher-s-mobile-assembly-table) and the [vertical workpiece mounting option](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/show-us-your-vertical-clamping-methods/9035) for making [dovetail and other joints for cases and drawers parts](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/box-joints-and-dovetails/7147/24).

The only other combination of both that I remember was [this one](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/allowance-for-vertical-milling/2746/4).

In your first picture above it is obvious you could have made the opening in the table much deeper until workpieces are limited by the transversal brace of the rolling base:

What are the dimensions of your opening actually? Are you able to make all drawers sides or did you already have the case where your opening was not wide enough?
