I made one of these. My goal was smallest footprint and optimum height for operation of each tool. It's for my Dewalt planer and Ridgid oscillating sander. I had to skip the lower drawer because when planning I like my wood at waist level, so I only have to balance it at the planer rather than support it. I build all my tool stands/carts so the tool that's on them is right where I like to use it. That's #1, then comes design....
This is by far the best flip cart. I am very interested in buying a copy of your plans. Are they for sale? I am a simple handyman with a small garage. Any information is much appreciated. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you!
I like your design of the 2x sticking out for more support. Great idea! Also like how you put more than one tool on the top. I’ll do the same on both sides. I have a 15” floor planer so it won’t go on it. Just other smaller tools. I’ll make mine a little wider to accommodate. Retired cabinet builder here. No plans needed. Thanks for your video! Enjoyed it!!
Nice cart - would be great if you made the plans available to view or buy. Also I couldn’t help noticing you didn’t appear to be using any eye protection, ear protection or dust protection. It’s not a huge issue for a single project (although it just takes one bad event to cause some lasting damage) - but If you’re going to be doing a lot of this type of work, protecting your eyes, your hearing and your lungs is critical.
With such a long and deep drawer (that's what she said) I like using 4 total rails (two on each side). It really ads to the sturdiness of the drawer if you ever put more and more in there and it starts getting really heavy and gets pulled all the way out. Very cool build thanks for making the video!
I see your dewalt jigsaw is like mine. Mine hasn’t stayed at a 90 degree for one single cut straight out of the box. Thanks for the video. I’m making one now
I have been looking for a good flip top cart for the DeWalt planer. I like your video and cart design. Your electric work worries me unless you’re trying to start a fire? I recommend you talk to a qualified electrician.
Toggle latches would be another great option for this . I love the idea of 180 degree rather than the whole 360 degree rotation as far as tool safety alone and the fact it is smarter as far as when you are running power like this.
Good, I like the 3 connection for power. Takes less space and cheaper than the power strip. I like the blind nuts to hold the equipment. The bad I think the planer should be rotated 90 degrees. That when running lumber it’s side to side. Or you decide to incorporate the planer in a miter saw counter top it will fit right in. The Ugly. Having the casters on out riggers takes away from the aesthetics of the cabinet and makes a trip hazard. I wish you would’ve mentioned the width. Great 👍 video.
Hello Average Guy. I was wondering, when designing your flip-top tool cart, how much extra space did your leave so your planner (or other tools) did not hit any obstructions?
Great job. Now that you have had it for a while how do you like the design. Would you do anything different. I’m getting ready to build one and I really like your design
Nicely done...ever think of adding weight to the sander side to better balance the flip ?? Also you have the wheels sticking out from the sides...any reason as they will take up more room... Planning to build a flip myself for a metal chop saw and a miter saw on the other side...
Could but not sure if it could handle enough weight to balance. Wheels are out for drawer depth. The drawer would be pointless if I had to remove enough height for the wheels.
Nice piece of work!! One question though?? Why, when you were so meticulous about the build, would you resort to a wood screw to act as a drawer pull?? I noticed you have the same setup on your big bench drawers?? As the King in the musical "The King and I" said, "Tis a puzzlement!!"
Forget the car,that is what driveways are for .......... make yourself a good shop ..............put mowers and things like that in a shed ,,that is what i did in my double car garage .
Why not put an outlet on each side of the table surface? It would be handy for plugging in other tools and you wouldn’t have to disassemble it to get access to the plug.
Then I'd have to feed all the tool cords through the pivoting pipe instead of just 1 power cord. The pipe isn't big enough to fit the heads and all the cords.
@@averagediyguy2503 I meant so there would be outlets on the same surface as the tools. So they can plug directly into the outlets. You can even recess the plug boxes into the top surface for a more seamless look.
Great job! I’m fairly new to woodworking so I’m about to undertake flip carts for some of my tools. Great design and great job on showing the build!
I like the sticking out 2x4 which looks more sturdy and easier on the side panel than other designs.
Yep acts like an actual stop rather than just some type of lock doing it
Nicely done. You vid is the only one I have watched that uses part of the frame of the top that works as a stop. Great minds think alike.
Love the cart. The 180 degree stops are a great idea.
this is one of the best designs yet !!
I'll definitely make this with little tweaks,
thank you for sharing it 😄
Bruh, this is the best flip cart on youtube. Let us buy your plans.

Are you going to have build plans and cut plans available?
Love the Ideas. Can't wait to build one myself. Thank you

That is so cool, dry lever and what a great space saver.

really like the simplistic design of this...looks very sturdy and the tucked power cords is a nice touch.

Hi Guy, will you post your plan somewhere?
Best i've seen . Love the 180 trick!!
Great job! Would have to agree with Yue Gan, the 2x4 flip support is simple and look really stable.
Lots of good ideas to incorporate on my build, thanks.
Nice work like the 2x4 stop it’s really looks sturdy! Thanks for posting this video!
Excellent job! Really like the use of window latches. Great idea!
I see your dewalt jigsaw is like mine. Mine hasn’t stayed at a 90 degree for one single cut straight out of the box. Thanks for the video. I’m making one now
I've had to tilt the head to get the blade yo cut straight. Seems to be a design flaw with the model.
A very well thought design!

Nice job. I've been watching a few of these videos lately so I can make my own. I'll be using a few of your ideas. Subbed
Very nice! any chance we can get a copy of your plans?
no plans for sale?

Guess I have to get to work designing mine. I like your top design with the longer 2x4 as a stop. Any plans available?

Because I hadn't built the handles yet and just needed something to pull the drawer out. They're done now.
@@averagediyguy2503 OK! no offence meant! Just curious. Glad to hear your great builds are now complete!

How can I get plans on your design
@@kevingibson9453 I'm not offering them. I'm working om a version 2.0 that I'm considering doing a plan.
