Mobile Tool Trailer

The flames are a nice touch.

That is a well thought out work center. I looked at the pictures before I read the post and was wondering why anyone needed 8 tape measures. Should have read it first. looks like the students have everything they need there. Now if you could just drag it over to my house and have them build a new shop for me. :)

Haha, Looks like Dale Jarretts, Race the Truck, rod. Send this into Cool Tools or UPS and maybe you can get some national recognition as a very cool tool!

Well done!

That is really well thought out, designed and executed. Looks like a very valuable asset to your program.

What a way cool portable work station! I like it! I’m gonna mark this as a favorite… the flames are a killer touch as well!

Great design. It looks like the kids should have whatever they need for their projects at hand. I really like having the electrical cord on it, so they can plug into the trailer, rather than having 100 extension cords running everywhere. Very nice!

This is great project. It keeps tools organized and gave them a practical exercise to improve their woodworking skills. Great idea.

you forgot to mention the flames!

this is outstanding. Well planned out—well done

great idea, not just a tool cart, but a mini shop. No set up for the saws! Great idea… you have me re-thinking my saw cart now… ;)

It’s absolutely all about the flames. If it don’t have flames, the kids didn’t build it.

Great work.

Welcome to Lumber Jock’s.
What a great idea. A fully portable shop. Man I may have to think about building one of these at some point for use at work.
Keep teaching those kids these great skills.

I really appreciate all of the comments folks. I showed the site to my students today, and some of the responses to thier work. Talk about an ego boost. I will try and post some more pics of the trailer tommorow. There is alot there that can’t be seen in just three photos. The flames are actually bookmatched from side to side, and when you fold out the support brackets for the lids it is painted under them so it flows when open and closed. They actually painted the whole thing with blue painters tape, and krylon. Anyway thanks and I really enjoy the site. I seem to spend half of the night on it…..

Well thought out for a traveling cart, a place for everything and everything in it’s place. Takes all the searching time out and leaves it for the real work. Nice project. Now need some photos of what you and the students use this cart for. Thanks for sharing.
