I liked the idea of CharlieM1958’s post http://lumberjocks.com/projects/847 so I made my version.
I don’t get around well so I do as much of my work sitting down and was always having to get up to get a tool or clamp this cart has taken care of most of that problem. I welcome any comments.

Great job with your interpretation, John. I’m thinking this will be one of my personal projects coming up soon. But with my own interpretation thrown in as well. Favoriting this to credit you and Charlie as well, when I build it.

This tool and clamp cart looks great! I’m planning on making a clamp cart to free up some wall space… but looking at what you did, I might just combine the two like you did. If you know of where to get plans for one let me know. Once again… great tool & clamp cart!

DonFaulk0517 I don’t know of any plans. I just used the pictures from CharlieM1958’s post above and winged it from there, http://lumberjocks.com/projects/847.

PS – I bought the drawer runners for this project in a big bundle at a Flea Market for $1 and cut them down to size for this project. I’ll NEVER do that again they’re jerky, not full extension, and stick. Projects from now on will have new ball bearing full extension slides like I’ve used on other projects.

I really like the cart. I built my clamp rack on wheels too, but I did not engineer drawers. Big oversite!

What a great idea. I’m always moving tools to make space on the bench. I have a shelf on my tool bench that catches everything then I’ve got put stuff away. But, do I need another ‘unit’ on the floor of my shop with limited space. I still love the idea though. great work.

John,
Great project! The only improvement I can think of would be to somehow get air and power to it!
I gotta build me one…
