    Your dry sense of humor is great! The ‘proper’ amount of glue certainly varies between workers….thanks for a great build video; I plan on doing the exact same thing with my spindle sander.

    Great geometric concept concerning the centre of gravity that aslo helps the height of the balanced tool. Brilliant family ❤😊🎉

    I definitely like the lower cart idea, James. As snowed in wanted to find a shop project and found this one. Even though the video is a few years old. The flip cart is timeless. Thanks for all you and your family do for the woodworking community.

    I'm making a return to 'hobby' woodworking after a few years away from it as my 70th birthday comes along next year. My 'workshop' is challenging size wise with the main area being about 11' 6" x 7' 6" with a bench one side and lathe setup on the other, pillar drill stand and two wheel grinder for lathe tool sharpening etc. Recently added a small saw table bench (about 2'6" square) and small cyclone dust extraction which leaves two small areas either side about 3' x 2' because of the aisle between the two sides. Was looking to add some type of thicknesser and router table and coming across this video has me thinking. Came across it at the right time 👍 Although I've another room about 7'6" square it's mostly storage of stuff gathered over time. Some thinking and rearranging to do. Bought the plans - thanks for making them available. (from over 'the pond')

    Sold. As soon as I get the tools to mount I'll be getting these plans. First thing I saw with pretty much all the others was finished working height. I agree, they're just all too high. Thanks

    Hi James and family!! What an awesome build!! My favorite features are the side shelves and the recessed wheels. Very clever and solves a problem many of us have with this type of cart and that is height. Plus you can see the wheel locks much better than when they are placed under the cart. Your channel really deserves much more subs than what you have. There are no negatives, its family-oriented, and you James are an incredible teacher! You even anticipate questions and answer them with the detailed instructions before we could ask. That is a sign of a great teacher!!!

I put myself in the latter class but I always pick up some good tips as well as just really good project ideas from you. Thank you for the contact.

    I think we need a contest to see who can guess what James and Maia have been doing the past few weeks. I think they had to go into treatment for glueaholism. I noticed that there was very little wasted glue on this build. Now lets see if they can stay on the wagon!
    Nice to have a new vid! You do a great job of design and building, and a great job of production! And I love that your daughters work with you.

    I watch many of these video's from different content makers before beginning my project. Most of the time KFW is the most valuable and I trust them on the build. However not far behind is April, Steve Ramsey, Stumpy, Fix That Build That, Next Level Carpentry etc., etc. I also trust the tools they recommend to purchase, unless Project Farm determines its a dud. Finished watching this one and I now headed to the shed to cut up some plywood.

I will buy your plans once I got a couple of other projects out of the way. I always love your videos, and again always great to see family and friends involved in your projects. Thanks for sharing.

    Just finished mine. It turned out great, with special storage for sanding disks, belt cleaner, extra belts and spindles and associated tools. It freed up some space for a lathe cart, because I was able to combine the power tools on two carts into one. I don't normally use the plans of others, but this one looked fun and it was! Thanks much. I can send you pictures of what I did, if you want.

    I find this super intriguing - German woodworking YT channels always have one guy in them building stuff. For you this is always a whole family & friends gathering. Of course you need a sufficiently big shop for that but I feel this is super awesome to have everyone involved in this. The lonewolf man cave thus becomes a family cave. Nice.

    I’ve built one flip top cart for my planer and spindle sander already, but I’m likely going to build a second one soon. Super glad that I saw this. The PVC and dowel pin approach is a much cheaper alternative to the steel pipe and star knobs I see from most of these builds.

  • @wb_finewoodworking
    @wb_finewoodworking 5 років тому

    I must say James that this is the best design I’ve seen for one of these flip carts and I’ve seen a lot of them over the years. While this is not something I need right now for my shop it’s something that I may need in the future. I use my Rigid sander on just about every project and I like the storage it has for the sanding spindles and belt. That storage would be lost if it was flipped upside down.

    I really like how thoroughly you designed and built this. The only changes I’d recommend is 1-to make one of the “tops” removable to service the cord. Skip the glue. 2-zip tie power strip to avoid drilling into it. Great build still. Love the lower Center of gravity.

  • @design8studio
    @design8studio Рік тому

    Awesome video and awesome design! I've been researching various designs for flip top mobile bases for some time, and I like this design the best! Tremendous! The only improvements I can think of would be to mount those triangle shaped braces inside the shelves, with the shelves themselves being wider and serving as bracing, and all shelves would have more storage room except the bottom one where the triangle braces are, and to put a fillet to round off the sharp corners at the top of each set of shelves (on those outside corners). I will be building this - I will buy your plans and tweak them for my own. Thank you!

    • @design8studio
      @design8studio Рік тому

      I also thought of a couple more improvements. It seems the extra thickness of the flip top part is mainly for hand reach access to the plugs. By moving the power strip to be mounted to the outside edge of the flip top, yet in a recessed area so plugs not sticking out, would not only allow making the top thinner, thus maximizing clearance during flipping, using less wood, eliminating need for the 1/2" strip, but also allow for use of the remaining plugs on the power strip for any other nearby use.

    • @design8studio
      @design8studio Рік тому

      I bought the plans. Couple things. Please note that the hand access hole is not shown but rather a solid wall with a knob. Also the piece for extra reinforcement, which the casters are attached to, is missing from the 3D model drawings in the plans.

    • @design8studio
      @design8studio Рік тому

      One other thought... because the needed clearance for the flipping operation, is all more focused in the center of the bottom, some "lower front and back walls" across the opening, would not hinder flipping like a drawer would, and would add structural rigidity. They would mean the extra storage use (like for the two smaller items you have down there) would be more like "in a bin" than "on a shelf" ...

Will the PVC last for spinning in the wood? I want to flip my miter saw and planer...I also wonder why you screwed the tools in rather than bolting them? Hiding the cords was genius! Excellent job. Thanks for involving your family in the builds :)

    I like the design and planning on buying the plans. I will say, I would not glue and nail the top down because you have a power strip inside and those go bad over time. Screws are a better idea so in the case the power strip goes bad you can get to it and replace it. Other than that it looks like a great table. Thanks. Ohhhh, I hadn’t get to the end of the video when I committed. Lol. You are putting an access hole. I do have one question before I buy the plans. What is the clearance on the bottom? I would like to put my drill press under there but not sure if it will fit. Thanks.
