I missed the video on the first pass, Giz. Whoops.

Well this project came out great – looks very functional. Any idea what machine will rest on the bottom? How critical is the weight consideration (of the other machine)?

Ya do’ed it!!!

-- Thos. Angle

Very nice and completely functional. I enjoy your “style”

-- Hope Never fails

I can see this idea being pilfered along the way.

I have the same planer. After you work all the bugs out I’m gonna make one of these. Thanks for sharing the process. Looks good!

Great project Gizmo. A while back I remember a cart that is similar to this but had a rotating flat sided drum that accommodated three or four machines. I need something like that for my Planner, jointer, Router table etc. Does anyone remember seeing this? I would greatly appreciate any feedback.

-- Noodles

Thanks all.

Bill. I am not sure what will go on the bottom. Future tool: Spindle sander?

I made it the same height as my tablesaw, so I can use it as outfeed support if necessary.

Love shot 3.

Would you call that Drill-Cam? :—)

-- My Fear is when i die, my wife will sell my tools for what I TOLD her they cost

Good idea. Great block.

-- Jiri

Nice idea, but think it much safer if you make the box thicker and profortion to the machine weight.

-- Bong

Bong… it is two layers of 3/4” plywood on the box thickness.
