For added stability, instead of iron pipe, I used 5/16" solid rod and skateboard bearings, which accept the rod perfectly. I embedded them in a 3/4" hole in each side and also threaded each end of the rod with a die. Then 5/16" nuts can then be tightened on both sides and provide additional support to the top of the stand.
Great video. We use the garage for our vehicles, and my shed isn't large enough to work in with the tools I have accumulated. I used to have my planer on a stand by itself. I built two flip tops. The first is planer and sliding miter saw combination. The second is a router table and 6 inch grinder (I will probably add another small tool opposite of the grinder). These flip top stands have saved space in my shed, and they also make it easier moving tools in and out of the shed. I found it easier to loosely secure the platform to the sides with the locking mechanism when placing the pipe through the platform. This way you don't have to hold the platform, and you can maneuver the platform as necessary to push the pipe all the way through. Looking forward to more of your videos.
Thanks for such a straight-forward video! I am developing my workbench plans right now, and creating a table like this is going to save me so much space! I am nervous about a bid heavy tool just hanging upside down, but I have faith in your plans!

I have both tools and wanted this EXACT cart. Will be building VERY soon...thanks!!!!
I have both those tools, too, and was specifically looking for anyone doing a fliptop cart with the dewalt planer, since it's so heavy. Glad to see in her update comment that she went back and added lag bolts, I don't see those screwed holding!
Love this I'm buying same planer and sander this is going to work great in my garage...well done not to difficult strong sturdy and looks great...very versatile
You did a great job!! Video was super easy to follow without all the idle chit chat other videos have. Very refreshing to watch. Look forward to more. Great job.
Bonjour, une très très belle réalisation que je ferai certainement prochainement. Comme pour beaucoup de gens, c’est la place qui manque dans nos ateliers et la solution est là. Bravo à vous
Before installing the second piece of plywood on the top you can rub a old candle into the pipe groove. This will help the pipe pass through the slot on final assembly. Please sweep up any excess wax off the floor ASAP as it will make the floor slippery (Don't ask how I know this LOL) I really need to build this for my small shop, Thank you for sharing.
Great job Marie! Shop Projects are so much fun. That cart is a great way to save space in your work space. That is a great planer BTW. I have the 12 1/2" Dewalt and its so nice. And I completely agree with you on the Walnut. Sometimes I just make something out of it because I like the smell of it..Lol. Keep them coming!
Really nice work, not just the project but also your editing and composition. I've been eyeballing these plans for a while, and your video pushed me over the edge. Thanks. Also, I really liked your fence-straddling mortise jig. So simple, yet effective. Yet another "why didn't I think of that" moment for me. Looking forward to more of your videos.
Bonjour je viens de découvrir ta chaîne et je suis tombé sous le charme. Bravo pour toutes tes réalisations. C’est vraiment du très bon et très beau travail 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I saw your video of the tour of your workshop, and then this video. What great upgrades!!!! I enjoyed these two videos, and will go back and catch the others. I want to see you how you got to where you are. Keep up the good work!!
Great build Marie, i have those same plans from Brad but i think you explain it better, but don't tell him that ha ha ha. Your shop and the builds that you are doing, have come along way since those early days and i'm proud to say i have been there with you. The confidence in your builds is there for all to see, so keep up the good work and builds that you are doing. Barry (ENG)
Hi new subscriber, this video on the flip tool station is exactly what I plan to do with my now smaller shop. Excellent project I look forward to more videos like this . Thanks !
Might have to build one of these. I have the same Rigid Spindle sander in my shop. Also have the Dewalt 734 planer, the one before yours. Combining the, both on one rolling stand would be a nice space saver. I use both machines all the time.
I like the Idea how you lock the platform but I would highly recommend to use bolts to lock your Planer and Sander down I wouldn't trust the screw over time
Love love you recreated “Fix This Build That” flip top table. I wondered how he built the top and flip mechanism, thank for sharing this ingenious build 🤟🏼
Super intéressant ! Je veux justement en construire une pour mon atelier. Je ne sais pas encore par contre si j'aurai deux machines, ou une seule et de garder l'autre côté comme surface de travail. Pour faciliter la phase d'assemblage de la table avec le meuble et ton tuyau en métal, tu pourrais prendre de petites serres pour tenir un morceau de bois pour servir de support temporaire à la table exactement à la bonne hauteur du trou.
need help holding up top panel while attaching long rod in the middle. next time use a couple of clamps on the side panels so that you can put the middle panel on top of clamps and you'll have 2 hands free to insert rod. nice build, nice tools.
Great vid, very clear and concise. Question for you. (around the 4:18 mark) Seemed like there was a lot of cutting and lining up for the bolts/screws. In hind-sight do you think it would be easier and more flexible to just use some more 3/4" ply? That way if you ever change out the tools you don't have to worry that the new holes might not be as supported.
Yes that would work well to just fill the inner void with more 3/4 ply. It would take the guess work out of positioning the blocks and allow for future tool swapping. I was just trying to keep it to a single sheet of 3/4 ply but that's a great idea.
After 5 yrs do you still like this? Would you build it again or would you do anything differently? I also have the sander and planer - so I'm looking to make something like this.
I have that same dewalt planer, they're 93lbs lol. I hate lugging that thing around! I think I'm going to put it and my dewalt tablesaw on one of these tables. Question, you and the other guy that built this same table did it alone. You both held the top up while getting it mounted/pushing the "axle" rod through... Why didn't you just lock the top on with the eye bolt clamps then push the rod through?
Marie: I have both of those tools and like most, limited space, this mobile flip top tool stand will fit the bill perfectly. One question, actually two....1) how have the screws to hold down these heavy tools held up over time? and 2) did you consider bolts and nuts thru the 3/4" ply before securing them to the top frame? Thanks/Merci
VIDEO UPDATES: 1. I recommend using 3-1/2" lag screws instead of regular screws for mounting the tools. I will go back and add some into the larger holes in the tools' bases. 2. When making the drawer, it's best practice to put the pocket screws on the outside of the drawer so the screws have enough material to bite into, making a stronger drawer.
Does that fold down top on the sander hold in all the extra parts when it’s upside down? What about when your using just the spindle, and not the belt sander attachment?
It appears to be 5 years or so since you built this. Have the vibrations from the sander or planer caused any problems for the other or the assembly? Thanks a lot. Just purchased the cut sheet and looking forward to getting to work.
Great job on the video. I don't have the Ridgid oscillating sander "yet" (Father's Day is next month and I have been dropping hints to my wife) so I was wondering if the sander accessories fly off from their holding cubbies when you flip the top over.
I notice everybody drills a hole with a forcerner bit to set the bolt for the eye bolt. But is this really necessary? Or do you you do this to keep everything smooth on top? Either way great video. Thank you
Thanks! In the end, I did not provide a cut list. You can get some plans from FixThis BuildThat. I left a link to those plans in the description box. For reference, my platform is 27" wide by 24" deep, and the side walls are 30-1/2" tall.
@@DIYMontreal How much of a difference in dimensions was yours from the plans from Fix This Build That? I ask because I have the same planer you do. I see you say "Platform" and I assume that affects parts B, C, and I. But it also affects parts A. Parts B,C and I are already 27 1/2" x 21 1/2". You mentioned yours is 27", did you shrink it by 1/2" but made it 3 1/2" deeper? That's kind of what it sounds like but I'd love to know for sure.
@@spencerjw I wouldn't be able to say; I didn't use his plans, I just came up with my own dimensions to fit my tools. The platform is the flat table on which the tools sit. I made it 27 x 24.
Outstanding work. I have been looking for a simple flip top stand to accommodate my DeWalt planer and Grizzly spindle sander and this looks like it will fit that need perfectly. Love the eyebolt hack! You mention in the video a link to plans. Maybe I'm being dense but I don't see it anywhere in the page. Can you point me that direction? Keep up the great work Directionally Challenged from south of the border! Thanks!
When you say you marked the center line on the sides but you do not say the measurement from the top you say 1 1/2 from the edge only looking for that measurement? Thanks I’m building it now lol
Great vid. Does anyone know how to deal with the out-feed tables? They will flip up (one side fully), but aren’t secure. I’ve made several flip tops, but like this design.
Hi, Andre from Repentigny here……you’re a lot better woodworker than me but I noticed what I think is a mistake………when screwing using pocket holes, the screws should enter toward the middle of the second board, not toward the end, it will be more solid because there’s more meat for the screw…….not sure if I get it clear enough, if so, let me know if it makes senses, thanks Andre
What a great idea! I have this sander and am planning to get the Dewalt planer. Do you recommend the optional extension tables for the planer and will they fit with the flip top stand? Thanks!
Love the video. I had the dewalt planer and just came home with the rigid sander. Guess what I’m gonna build. Need your plans first then go shopping for my material and start building. I wanted to ask you what kind of plywood did you use? Baltic birch or maple veneer? I’m a bit of a newbie so two more questions: 1) Is the plywood good on both sides(what’s it called?). 2) what are the sizes you had it cut down to in the store? I need that cuz I’ll be doing exactly like you did. Thanks so much !!
I used sanded aspen for this. Smooth on both sides but more affordable than maple ply or Baltic birch. I can't remember the exact cuts, but probably just ripped down the middle as per the plan dimensions so it would fit in my SUV.
What about a latch of some sort? To keep the top from going too far over.. I’m only 110 lbs so flipping a tool that weighs nearly as much as me is kind of scary. I was thinking, like a stop, so the tool won’t go to far either way... any way to update this into your plans?? Thanks, Sheila ~:}
I love the swinging knobs to hold the top in place - as an engineer, I really appreciate how easy it is to use, made with common hardware.
For added stability, instead of iron pipe, I used 5/16" solid rod and skateboard bearings, which accept the rod perfectly. I embedded them in a 3/4" hole in each side and also threaded each end of the rod with a die. Then 5/16" nuts can then be tightened on both sides and provide additional support to the top of the stand.
Great job Marie! Everyone's gotta maximize our precious shop space.
Exactly! I've run out of it (especially since I added the router table) so I'm getting a little desperate! This should help :)

You included some fantastic design elements in your build.
Thank you for sharing.
Wow this is super smart i need this for my basement shop!! Love how you secure it once it's flipped! Simply genius! :)
Agreed, the locking mechanism is awesome and totally secure. Thanks!
Great way to better utilize shop space! Nice easy way to make shop drawers too!
You bet! Sometimes the simplest way is the best, especially for shop projects.
Great job Marie! Shop Projects are so much fun. That cart is a great way to save space in your work space. That is a great planer BTW. I have the 12 1/2" Dewalt and its so nice.

If it makes you feel any better, I had the same moment the first time I saw someone else use that jig ;)
Bonjour je viens de découvrir ta chaîne et je suis tombé sous le charme. Bravo pour toutes tes réalisations. C’est vraiment du très bon et très beau travail 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It amazes me that this thing can hold that kind of weight. It doesn’t scare you at all, you’re planer just floating upside down?!

thank you for lovely job👍
Great build. Much love from California
Great video Marie. Thanks for the flip top idea. And by the way hello from Laval. ;-)
Well i guess that answers that. Those are the same two tools I was looking to mount but was worried about the weight of the 735 planer.
Nothing to worry about. Maybe add some washers and go with lag screws if you want it to be extra solid.
Thank you for your video! I know what my next project will be now.
New sub. Great video! Based on other comments, I can't wait to watch your other videos!
What a great space saving idea!
It’s so useful when space is limited! (Or when you start to accumulate too many tools like me ;)
@@DIYMontreal There's no such thing as "too many tools". :-)
This is a great idea. I'll have to build one (or more) of these myself!

If you replace the 3/8 nuts with 3/8 nylocks you wouldn't need the thread lock.

Thank you going to start on one this weekend. What size is your Bosch miter saw. I need one
Where's the link for material and measurements
Hi Marie,
Love this video! I wrote to your email for a cut list for the wood but maybe it went to your junk email folder instead.
Love the video. I had the dewalt planer and just came home with the rigid sander. Guess what I’m gonna build. Need your plans first then go shopping for my material and start building. I wanted to ask you what kind of plywood did you use? Baltic birch or maple veneer?

I was nervous at first too, but given the fixed axis, you don't feel the weight that much, and it's not hard to slowly flip it fully in control.
6:13 set the carcas on it's side and push the rod down through or you'll smash your hands over and over. (Ask me how I know this!)
good job !
Thanks!
Is that regular 3/4” electrical conduit your using or regular galvanized pipe? Thanks for the help
Has everything held up over the last 4 years? The weight of the planer has me worried about holding it in place with just 4 screws.
Yep, use it on a regular basis and all good. I replaced the screws with lag screws about a month after making the video and haven't had any issues.
@@DIYMontreal awesome, thanks
