Soon, we're going to be building a dedicated workshop in the backyard. So my workshop at the moment is half my garage. That means that I am limited in space. To solve this, I had multiple mobile carts carrying various tools. To use my miter saw, I'd pull the cart out and set up roller stands...

This is a rolling cart with a flip top I built to try to maximize some shop space (I'm just in process of putting a 1-stall garage shop together). I looked at several designs and decided on a slightly beefed up version of one I saw online, I'll try to find the link to where I saw the design. The...

I built this stand for reasons similar to most people who build these… saving floor space. I did not elect to use it for two tools though. My primary purpose was to be able to put my planer under the extension table without having to lift it off the floor every time I wanted to use it. I...

Moving my benchtop planer around in my shop when it was needed was a real chore. It is about 70 lbs and needs a lot of room to either side when used, but is frequently stored and not in use. I looked at several flip top sander/planer table designs. My Delta Planer is taller than the Dewalt or...

Since we had our first baby at the beginning of march I haven't spent much time out the garage, so I end up thinking up new projects while feeding or changing diapers. First new project was to re-arrange the garage, starting with this stand. I only have half of a double garage with my wife...

Made this for my planer and drill press. I needed a stand for my planer and I don't use my drill press a lot, so it works great to have it out of the way when not in use. It also holds some drill bits and a chuck on the side. The base is mobile. It pivots on a 3/4" piece of conduit.

I built a flip top planer cabinet as part of a larger shop reorganization project. The criteria were that when stored, the top of the cabinet would be the same elevation as the rest of the tables so as to serve as infeed and outfeed for other tools; and that the planer itself would swing out...

My sons and I have been building this backyard playhouse. I designed it last summer to create a structure that had the feel and look of a treehouse despite not have a tree worthy of the structure. The goal was to have some great features that would give them a great place to let their...

Sorry it took so long to follow up on my last post of this project, I just wanted to add more pics of it to show a little more on how it works and was made. I will leave room another pic if someone wants to see a close up of a certain area. I think between my two post of this project...

This was a project that was much needed in trying to manage space in a one car garage shop. The cart is pretty straight forward. I designed the miter saw recessed area (pic #1 shows cart under miter) many months ago with this cart in mind. I think I'll use the planer more now that I don't...

I've built a tilt top tool stand for my planer and chop saw: It's mounted on a metal mobile tool base. The bottom is two layers of 1/2" CD plywood from my scrap pile. The side supports are 2×4's cleaned up on the joiner and planer and joined with bridle joints. The top is a torsion box...

I made this wooden flip top tool box this weekend to store some tools, but it can be used as any storage container. I have a link to the video below and in the video I show my larger tool storage box that I made a few years ago. Let me know what you think! Flip Top Tool Box Video Link
