Really nice.

Thanks for sharing it.

nice, want to do the same for those tools and was thinking fliptop, may have to reconsider

I like this idea much better than the flip-flop setups. Very nice.

Bill, is that just for planer storage, or do you actually use it down there? I need to do something similar for my O.S. Sander.

I like the idea of a drop down door that provides support and stability. Good thinking.

The second picture showing the planer storage made this idea click for me. Really well done.

Nice job, should serve you well.

That is a great looking cart you made there.

That drop down door is the #%&*! Well you know what I mean. The whole cabinet came out real nice.

The planer is actually used in that position. (it used to be on the floor!) But it’s not bolted down, so I can move it if I need to.

The trick with the flip down door is that the hinge is exactly half way between the floor and the underside of the top. That defined the opening and the height of it all, minus the height of the casters. I suggest buying the casters first to get their measurements.

very good idea saving on shop space is always cool. How u like your ryobi drillpress?

I like the drill press a lot. Much more accurate than the 8” HF one I had. I thought that the laser guide was a gimmick, but it really helps a lot, so it’s icing on the cake for me. It is louder than it should be though. Maybe it’s the continually variable speed. (its got those variable pulleys on the inside. The little 15 watt incandescent lamp was a joke, so I replaced it for a CFL that has a 60 watt equiv output. The 12” swing is great!

Just stumbled upon your design. It’s brilliant. Thanks for sharing.

The link failed me. But I found your model by searching the 3D Warehouse for:
