    You made this so much less complicated than other makers! I’m wanting to build one for my big belt sander and my little bench top grinder, but I’ve become overwhelmed by soooooo many complicated builds on UA-cam. Thanks for breaking it down to basics!

    Finally someone that did a simple and easy to understand flip top workbench bravo, love that you use only 2 x4 and left over plywood nice job

    Thanks for keeping it simple. Most of the the other flip carts on UA-cam are too complicated and require a table saw. I love it!

    Easy-peasy. Some others make it so complicated, but you kept it simple. Thanks.

    The idea is to save space. Mission accomplished! And as many have commented; you did this as simply as it could be done...

    This must be the most beginner friendly built. Definitely the easiest and straightforward built for such a table in YT land. I was sure I had found the easiest recently but this beats it by a long way. This is easily done by a beginner like myself. I especially liked the comment about just needing patience when drilling the rod holes with an ordinary drill because everyone else used a drill press making easy work of it and I was beginning to wonder if I had any chance with my 18V ryobi.

    I really like this build. I’ll be basing mine off this. Great work.

    Great video production, perfect balance of narration over fast action and music that is not obvious.
    Smart torsion box construction for the flip top. Love use of salvaged materials. Great design!

    Good Deal! Keep it cheap yet functional!! You're not gonna wheel the bench into your livingroom, it ain't gotta be fancy!!! Those screws are the shit, I love using those with my 18v drill, I can sink them through a 2x4 and they will not break!

  • @TheJohnno25

    Nice work, just what I am looking for and pretty similar to what I had in mind. Nice and simple to make, no complicated drawers etc etc.

    I have built three of these this week. Easy to modify sizes. I have 3 tools on each one. Love the simple design. By the way, I used 3/4"pvc for the pipe and it works great and easy to wire. Thank you. By the way, just out of 2 x 4s still cost a chunk. However casters most expensive part.

    OH, I love this! My husband is going to love it, too! (Because I keep finding projects for him to make...but, I'll help with this one!). And we will both love the fact that we can move it back up against the wall! Thank you for sharing! :)

      @Will Paxton i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
      Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

    • @zanderraylan8518
      @zanderraylan8518 3 роки тому

      @Will Paxton DAMN IT ACTUALLY WORKED! Literally got access to my IG account within ~ 30 minutes of using the site.
      Just had to pay 15 bucks but for sure worth the price =)
      Thanks so much, you really help me out :D

    Love the simplicity of the stand. And I especially like using scrap wood. My car jerks to a stop when I get near a throw out wood pile!

    My was a bit more elaborate with side shelves for accessories. It holds the planner, router table and grinder(on top of the side shelf)
    Same as you, built from scraps until lumber prices drop.

    Good job! These guys who build a tool stand like it was a pie ce of Victorian furniture are so annoying. This gets the job done with minimal cost and effort.

    Love it. You "K.I.S.S.d" it! Surprised that this hasn't been viewed more. Best part about it? Your kids with their ear muffs on! Anyway you could add the dimensions &/or plans? Penciled out is great!

    • @NerdyMamma

    very nice one question how do you fix the planer and sander on it just screw or bolt if bolt how do you put them on

    • @Trek918
      @Trek918 9 місяців тому

      I believe the holes to screw on the plainer lineup with the support braces and I would use some serious course threaded screws.

  • @marieboyd3463
    @marieboyd3463 Рік тому

    I've been considering building one these for my planer but am concerned that I might not be able to actually flip it due to the weight. (my planer weighs 70 lbs) Do you find it easy to flip?

  • @drn1023
    @drn1023 5 років тому +1

    Awesome !!! I love that you used "found materials" and stuff from the cull rack. I've been looking at flip tops on UA-cam for ideas, and yours fits what I'm looking for. A tool stand should not cost over a hundred bucks to make... I don't need Baltic Birch for everything in the shop, like some of these pros use... I've subscribed and will be checking out your other vids and looking forward to the next ones.

    At around 6:30 you are drilling without having tied back your hair. My brother is missing a huge patch of his hair because he failed to do this many decades ago.

    What screws did you use to secure the planer, etc?

    • @georgeburchett5798
      @georgeburchett5798 3 роки тому

      I wonder that same thing. I am not sure I want regular wood screws there.
      I might use nuts and bolts with washers, on each top, before screwing the tops down to their final position. Just thinking?

  • @vincechoraszewski2394
    @vincechoraszewski2394 2 роки тому

    Why don't you give the sizes that you have on your video. I need to make one but don't know what the sizes are?

  • @jvmor6275
    @jvmor6275 5 років тому

    Good job! I'm building one... or, rather, my chief minion is building one. One question: is there any trick to keeping the power cords organized? Just rolled up until you need them, or do you have a receptacle mounted on the cart itself that they always stay plugged into? Thanks!

  • @vincentlawrence677
    @vincentlawrence677 2 роки тому +2

    When giving instructions, you don't say "2 short pieces, 2 long pieces". You give the measurements of the pieces "2 20 1/2, 2 24 inch"..etc.
    Also, you use a 1" drill bit to drill a hole for a 3/4" pipe, not a 3/4" bit.
