CNC Molds N Stuff Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Now this looks pretty cool. Seems a little flimsy, but that may just be me being over critical. I think it is a neat concept for having two bench tools in the space of one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Yes, a great design idea. He just tried to save too much space with the cabinet and lost some stability. If he is into levers, he should put swiveling castors on a lever plate. This way the cabinet is 100% stable on the floor and when he wants to pull the cabinet out, he pulls a lever to drop the wheel plate. My space saver design, not modelled yet, is a 'lazy Susan' type table, with four tools available; belt sander, band saw, drill press and a vise and work area. I don't need it now, with my new workshop of 5m x 8m. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) I made a flip top cart for my shop. I have a thickness planer on one side and miter saw on the other. Mine is much more stable as in no shaking/wobbling. My top pivots on central steel shaft with bearings. I still need to add the drawer in the bottom. I plan on making another one at some point for my spindle sander and not for sure what on the other side.

Vodkaman Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Very nice Travis. I had a flick through your other pics too; a proper woodworking bench with nice features. All very professional. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Thank you. I really enjoy the bench and kicked myself for not doing it sooner. I used a lot of reclaimed materials (pink legs....daughters old loft bed, boys old dresser). It is very surprising how quickly one can start to build things as they get set up properly. I still have plenty of issues but things that used to take a lot longer go buy in a breeze now with much better results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robn510 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Smart!! I need to do something like this to save space. Thinking of adding some floor anchors to the design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
