Another way to lower it about 3 or 4 inches would be to take the wheels off and use wheels on the side of the cabinet that you can raise and lower with a foot lever. When the wheels are retracted, the cabinet will just sit on the floor. If I did that, I would probably put a small foot pad on each corner of the bottom of the cabinet. That would add just a little bit of height back but it would help if your floor is not completely flat. You could actually use the wheels that you’re using now. You would just need to build some triangular brackets on the side of the cabinet to mount them higher up.
Thanks for the great idea. I might be able to get a bandsaw now. Just one suggestion: It looks a bit wobbly with all that weight on. I think I'll put a board somewhere across the back to brace it.
hey whats the actual height of the side panels (minus the 4 inches you're going to take off)? I ordered the same drill press and wondering what the minimum height needed for clearance.
This is really helpful. I'm curious what lessons you learned about the height of the taller tool. I'm trying to make one for a 37" drill press but am not sure about the height as it swings. You seemed to measure that as the tallest point but then said that you could lower it quite a bit. What's the best way to measure the height?
Extra bracing for the weight would help to make it more rigid and it needs extra strength to stop any wobble over time. Don't rely on those 2 x 4s. But an excellent idea.
Thank you for sharing. I have the same drill press and a porter cable band saw similar in size. I really need to build this. Has it been sturdy over time?
Thanks for sharing this build with us! Is it possible to get an update now that you’ve been using it for several months? I’m interested to know if you made modifications & what they were as well as why.
This video couldn’t be more perfect for subject wise I’m looking to build this exact thing for these EXACT items. I’ll give you a subscribe and like for that alone
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼………………………………………..DUDE!!!! You just may have saved me from spending a bunch of money on a new workshop! I don’t normally watch the RUclips shorts videos, because I’m a grown a$$ man and not a twenty year old with the attention span of a gnat, BUT I saw your short and went back and watched the whole video. Yeah, I’ll be making a few of these, with some personal improvements of course. THANK YOU and you have a new subscriber now! MaxM77
Great setup. I have the same ryobi tools and I wanted to do something similar. What’s your height and by any chance you have the plans and measurements? Also I would put a thin drawer at the bottom to help with stability
I'm 6' tall, i need to make the whole thing about 6-8" lower which I am going to do. I don't have any plans sorry, I just winged it, but I pretty sure I made the side boards 36" tall and 22" wide and the small boards 22X22. Thanks
If you are going to build a flip top bench, it’s a good idea to have one tall item and one short, and then offset the centre of the table so you do not need a ladder to reach them to use.

You could also use workbench caster that go on the side instead of underneath. They would allow you to drop it to the ground.
Thank you, i have some plans for a better design that im going to build soon
The drillpress top is held on by 2 tiny allen screws. It never has an issue coming loose when upside down?
How ingenious thank you so much you’re great at videos too
This is the next build I’m going to do for our distillery.
There’s a shocking amount of woodwork than need to be done in a whiskey distillery.

I think it’s a great build ❤❤

I made some updates to it, you can check them out here. ruclips.net/video/CIFiDxY3i9w/видео.html

good job, good video
thank you
Nice free up space in my small work space I made two flip tops

@@SomeSkillStudio thank you!
Nice design. How is its stability?
It was a little wobbly. Here's a video I made fixing all the problems ruclips.net/video/3j5ZoMVTZPw/видео.html
I see you from Thailand, Koh Samui.
Thanks for watching
Whatever you do, dont push it sideways...
I'm surprised that whole bench doesn't tip over when you flit tools. Must be on the edge. It will help if you lower it 4 inches. Good jod tho.
Any plans for this?
no, just the video

Problem with this is the height of both tools. Way too high even for a tall dude. Still a cool build and good video.
Ryobi users be like.
Very bad. The design has no rigidity at all.
