Very nice. Great idea.

That is just way too cool. I hope you don’t care if the basic design migrates from PA to AL. That is a real space saver and could be used for many applications.

Great idea for those of us with limited space.

Excellent, Good use of space

Great idea, great job.

I’ve seen those as a three sided piece but never liked how much space it took up. I like the two sided idea: nice work.

-- Brian, Lebanon PA, If you aren’t having fun doing it, find something else to do.

nice idea. I was thinking about a three tool station. But was going to put each tool on a shelf and move them that way.

I like this idea, half the space!
Wish I had the old copy of Shopnotes.

-- Paul, La Center, Washington

The plan can be found in “Small Shop Solutions” a ShopNotes Special Collector’s Edition (page 90-93) copyright 2008. Wood Magazine also sells a plan for a similar type of cart.

Very nicely done. thanks for posting.

God Bless

First time I have seen that with two sanders. Usually see that rig with a lunchbox planer of some sort, and a sander… Very cool though.

well done

Very timely! I’ve been wanting to make something like that with my planer on one side and OSS on the other.

Nice job!

Hello Vincent,
Looks great, I have been thinking of making some flip top tables for some of my tools. What is the lock mechanism you used for locking the top? Are those Cam locks?

The locking mechanism is a 5/16” eyebolt (3 1/2” long). The washers are 5/16” fender washers with 5/16” thru knobs. The eyebolts are held in place with 3/8” carriage bolts with washers and nylon lock washers.

By the way, was this cabinet in Shopnotes magazine, or only the collection book?
