Hello everyone,
I just finished a project to help me better utilize my shop space.This is take off of various things I’ve seen in the magazines over the years. My motto for this project was “keep it simple stupid”. I used 3/4” birch ply for all but the very bottom in which I used plain sheeting plywood that I had lying around. It’s assembled almost entirely with pocket screws. I made it so I could lift off the tool with the base attached and place another one on as needed. Right now I only have my planer done. I put casters on the bottom but I’m already finding out that I will need to change at least two of them out to a locking type. Nothing fancy but I’m happy with the way it came out and I think it will help me quite a bit.
Thanks for looking,
Joe

Looks good, I need to build a rolling cabinet for my shop. The interchangable tops is a goodidea I might consider. Good job.

really nice stand… how do you like your delta thickness planer? It is on my short list of tools to get. I’ve been shopping it with Dewalt and Rigid units. I’ll need to do a cart-stand for whichever I end up getting.

Thanks again guys,
I love the planer. This is the 22-580 which I don’t think they make anymore. The thing weighs a ton and the finish of the boards is just awesome. dustyal, I really don’t think you could go wrong with any of the brands you are looking at and don’t forget the Rigid has that lifetime service agreement.

Very Nice. I am in the middle of building something similar…drawers instead of shelves. I like the side accessory areas…I’m constantly looking for a safe place to put my tablesaw miter gauge…I think I may add a place on the side of mine.
