Built this stand about 6 months ago. I used the space at the bottom of my stand for a 7" deep drawer to hold all the accessories for the spindle sander and planer. I put a folding shelf on one side to use as a support for my bench jointer. Perfect addition for my already crowed shop. Thanks for sharing.
Well done Jeff. Yours and Art Mulder's inspired me to build one that has my miter saw and surface planer. Works great. Two bench power tools in a footprint for one. I do lock mine down with threaded knobs after rotating a tool. It makes the unit more rigid. Bill
I actually have the same problems with shop space and the exact same sander and planer. I've been combing youtube looking for ideas exactly like this. Great build and thanks for some solid ideas!

I think I'll combine this great idea with the jointer on the side
Very nice design and build. Glad you put the horizontal brace in. I have installed the Delta T2 rail system on my craftsman also a few years ago. Best upgrade purchase I ever made. I was going to suggest you look at my video about the router table I installed between my TS rails but then saw you had already built a little bench top router table. My ridged sander and ridged planner sit on the floor under my Shopsmith collecting dust until needed. But my wall space is premium and filled so no flip top for me. If I had the space, I would be building the same as you did and did well! Thanks for sharing.
I like it... Simplified from the other versions I've seen by eliminating the drawer, etc. Creating the "bin" at the bottom which doubles as support is a nice touch.
Great job on the Flip Top tool stand! I think a lot of us over engineer some of our shop projects but the way I look at it, it is better to over than under engineer it. So no harm in a couple extra pocket hole screws!
+Mike Merzke Thank you, Mike. I plan on having this around for a good while so building it to last was of great importance. I'm still thinking about adding a couple shallow self boxes to either side since now that the OSS spends half it's time upside down I can't store the spacers, drums and belt assembly on the sander itself. realized that the hard way the first time I went to spin the top... Doh!!!
You should re-think your shop layout. My shop is just 10x16 and I have been able to include everything you mentioned earlier at the beginning of the video. Believe me, woodworkers are never happy with the layout of their shop, lol. I have moved things around a few times until I finally have plenty of floor space to walk to each machine. I had a really nice router cabinet with drawers for my router bits and lots more storage. But it was too big and had to replace it. I have also utilized the wall space so anything that can hang that's where it went. Best of luck and love the table/cart.
Wow, that front yard and neighborhood reminds me of when I lived in Spokane. Miss the green grass and trees. But not the cold. Great table man. Looks awesome.
Interesting idea....I'm guessing that's the out feed table of the planer sticking out because of the dust hood. Turning one of the tools around would keep that out of your way. I think building a small side shelf for all the sanding drums would be handy, too. Great job, enjoyed watching.
Nice project. looks like you had a bit of room at the bottom to insert a small cabinet with a drawer so you can store your planer accessories and spindle sander's as well.
Just a good straight forward design. I wish you would of shown how you installed those swivel bolt locking thing-a-ma-jigs. I'm not really familiar how they work, in fact I've never seen them before. Guess I don't get out much. Good job.
If you intend to chop off a bar or rod and also drill a hole near that chopped end, drill the hole before you chop. The chopping can harden the nearby metal and make drilling more difficult.
That was pretty impressive. I don't think I would build one, but I got a lot of good ideas from your video. Good info, and good production quality, thanks for taking the time to make it.
Good day mate nice build easy to follow not too much detail but enough to get a grasp of the build. Pity you didn't have dimension or plans but can make do! Thanks Stephen N.S.W.
Holy crap, the little nub on the top of a glu-bot is to hold the cap while you're using it. I didn't realize this. I don't know how. You just blew my mind.
Ya, I was waiting for the point when you realized all of your spindles and washers would have to be stored somewhere else when you flip the sander upside down.
Great build! However, I was disappointed that you didn't show the rotating action once the project was completed. After all, that's what it's all about!!
Nice build, but did it rotate as planned? I'm sure it did but a demonstration would of ended the story on a high note. . .maybe next time . . .LOL . . .Like I say . . . Can't think of everything . . .nice job.
I really enjoyed the detailed build video, Jeff!! I am just putting a small shop together myself and your video has inspired me! thank you for posting!!!!
Thanks, Joe. Wish I could take credit for the design but it's based off a stand I found after doing a Google search a while back. I couldn't find drawings or dimensions so I had to improvise and just build to my need. This is going to save me a ton of space and make using these tools so much easier.
No shop space? My entire garage is only as big as the scape you show at 2:20! My solution was to make a cabinet that rolls that my table saw is built into. Solved tons of problems till we got a car for the driveway: 😬 By the way, that "cutoff" wheel was a grinding wheel. That is why it removes 1/4 of material instead of like 1/16 or so. Most cutoff wheels are flat without the cup around the arbor.
I know this video is over a year old, but I just found it. I am really considering getting that same spindle sander you have. Just wanted your opinion of it, now that you've had it a while. Thanks
Bruce Collick not to bash the ridged OSS, I would not buy it again. Mostly issues with the table and getting it flat to the main surface. I am in the market for a new one and will most likely get the Jet jbos-5. It's more money but you do get what you pay for. Buy once, cry once is my new motto for tool buying.
Very good! I like the thought you have put into the design. I have been wanting to have one just like this and now you have provided me with the inspiration! Thank you for your video
Thats a pretty good tip about the domino I always see people marking it out and I always assumed that the best way to do it, yours seems more accurate and quicker!
im impressed with such important project - not because of installing two machines in one work table or even its operation is a must - but because we live in an era where high rent rates are sky rocketing and mobility of operator and machine should be minimized to its minimun having in mind the time involving production in any project in general which is enough to push our generation to create new mechanisms to properly operate in this environment at the end, im wondering what color did you chose for your device ..
Awesome build, would love to see it in action. Also, would it be possible to have a link in the description for plans to make it instead of following the video? Would be handy to print them out and have them for reference.
These look great and the space saving is nice... but how hard is it on your power tools to hang upside down are there certain tools that you should never hang upside down???? I would hate to lose out on the lifespan of my tools just to save some space.... I simply don't have money to waste replacing my power tools.
Nice work! Just curious what table saw fence you have and if you like it? Mine is toast and looking to upgrade without having to sell my truck to buy a new one.... Thanks!
This came out really nice and I like the fact you used a steel/iron bar instead of a threaded smaller in diameter bar I have seen in other flip top carts. I happen to like the brackets you made for the bottom of the cart to keep it from twisting. You have room enough to build a drawer too to store accessories in if you wanted to. Do you happen to have plans for sale for this cart? Thanks for the great build video! ~Dolly
Just a helpful hint, I noticed you cutting that on the ground with your track saw. I use sawhorses with a four inch piece of 4x8 sheet of insulation with mine and its easy to move around and store not too mention alot easier than cutting on the floor. Just a quick thought that might help..
I've been meaning to build a set of stacking saw horses but other projects keep getting in the way. One day I'll finally build a pair. Probably right after I injure my back I'm sure.
Looking at options to build a couple similar carts for my garage, but I’m worried about the bar wearing on the plywood of the uprights over time. It looks like you used a type of sleeve or washer on yours, but didn’t touch on it in the video. Could you explain more of what you used?
no sleeve and the washer were only used on the ends to keep the cotter pins from wearing into the plywood sides. I've have my cart for three years now and use it quite often and there is minimal wear from the bar. My banging it into other machines and cabinets has cause more wear and there than anything else.
Built this stand about 6 months ago. I used the space at the bottom of my stand for a 7" deep drawer to hold all the accessories for the spindle sander and planer. I put a folding shelf on one side to use as a support for my bench jointer. Perfect addition for my already crowed shop. Thanks for sharing.
Watched a lot of these builds, this is the most sensible way of making a flip top cart. Thanks
This one is much better.

I think I'll combine this great idea with the jointer on the side
Dados, glue and a few screws is all you need. You went nuts with pocket screws!
Doesn't everyone today?
We got a ton of Kreg tards everywhere anymore that I'm so sick of seeing 1 pocket hole in anything.
Very nice design and build. Glad you put the horizontal brace in. I have installed the Delta T2 rail system on my craftsman also a few years ago. Best upgrade purchase I ever made. I was going to suggest you look at my video about the router table I installed between my TS rails but then saw you had already built a little bench top router table.

If I had the space, I would be building the same as you did and did well! Thanks for sharing.
Four prong captive nuts or threaded inserts on the inside would be a neat way to fit the bolts.
I like it... Simplified from the other versions I've seen by eliminating the drawer, etc. Creating the "bin" at the bottom which doubles as support is a nice touch.
That's a pretty good idea for a small shop

that domino trick was cool.
Wow, that front yard and neighborhood reminds me of when I lived in Spokane. Miss the green grass and trees. But not the cold. Great table man. Looks awesome.
0:50 it's nice to see someone else like me who has to take it to the driveway. we can't all have nice big shops with work tables and sawstops.
Great design. I'll build one the same. I might put a drawer at the bottom which should also stiffen sides.
Love it but would have loved to see it work with both tools attached...
This is impressive. Solid as a rock too.
Interesting idea....I'm guessing that's the out feed table of the planer sticking out because of the dust hood. Turning one of the tools around would keep that out of your way. I think building a small side shelf for all the sanding drums would be handy, too. Great job, enjoyed watching.
Nice video! Looks like I have a new project coming!!! Good Job!!
Great job! Thanks for sharing!!!
great stand video. any plans available?
Really excellent job Jeff.
Great Job Jeff.
Ok, cool video nice build! Thanks for sharing.
"May" have gone overboard with the pocket screws?!?!?! LMAO!!! .... Love the table ! Thanks for the idea!
I was thinking the same thing, got a good laugh out of the "truth" of this comment
My dad used to say, " where one screw or nail would do, two will do better!"
Nice project. looks like you had a bit of room at the bottom to insert a small cabinet with a drawer so you can store your planer accessories and spindle sander's as well.
Just a good straight forward design. I wish you would of shown how you installed those swivel bolt locking thing-a-ma-jigs. I'm not really familiar how they work, in fact I've never seen them before. Guess I don't get out much.

Great job Sir. Congratulations 🇧🇷 👏 👏 👏
If you intend to chop off a bar or rod and also drill a hole near that chopped end, drill the hole before you chop. The chopping can harden the nearby metal and make drilling more difficult.
Space saver for sure! Thanks.
You are the hero.
Wow.....very well done. I'm a beginner and you gave me so much information and education. Thank you.
That was pretty impressive. I don't think I would build one, but I got a lot of good ideas from your video. Good info, and good production quality, thanks for taking the time to make it.
Great idea,congratulations my friend !
Good day mate nice build easy to follow not too much detail but enough to get a grasp of the build. Pity you didn't have dimension or plans but can make do! Thanks Stephen N.S.W.
Sweet idea for locating the dominos!
Bloody good build mate ! thanks for sharing
awesome job thanks for sharing
Clever,well done.
Holy crap, the little nub on the top of a glu-bot is to hold the cap while you're using it.
I didn't realize this. I don't know how. You just blew my mind.
Great idea
nice detailed video on the build but we didn't get to see how it worked in the end.
Brad King Yeah that was a bit of a letdown. Maybe a follow up video?
Ya, I was waiting for the point when you realized all of your spindles and washers would have to be stored somewhere else when you flip the sander upside down.
Very nice job I think I’m going to use it
I've got your same jointer! Awesome video
Nice build! Helpful video. Thanks
Great build! However, I was disappointed that you didn't show the rotating action once the project was completed. After all, that's what it's all about!!
I was disappointed he used pocket holes on such a great job....
what's wrong with pocket screws? It's a plywood cart for holding a plane.
Tool
exactly what i was waiting for,, i wanted to see it rotate after both machines were installed to see how easy or difficult i was,, sad :(
Nice build, but did it rotate as planned? I'm sure it did but a demonstration would of ended the story on a high note. . .maybe next time . . .LOL . . .Like I say . . . Can't think of everything . . .nice job.
Thanks for all the free content, hope you're still alive and stuff!
Thx for sharing this. Excellent approach.
I really enjoyed the detailed build video, Jeff!! I am just putting a small shop together myself and your video has inspired me! thank you for posting!!!!
Excellent!
Do you please have some plans available as I see this as a FANTASTIC build for my small work shop
Great Job. I'm moving to a new home this weekend and my first job is building my workshop. This is exactly what I had in mind. Thanks, Great Vid'
Enjoyed the build. Nice technique. You earned another subscriber.
THIS IS AWESOME!! I WILL FOR SURE MAKE THIS FOR MY SHOP.
Nice job.
Excellent video.
Great idea.. Putting it on my to do list. Thanks!
Very slick system Jeffrey! Really like your sliding 'lockout' knobs too!
Joe
Thanks, Joe. Wish I could take credit for the design but it's based off a stand I found after doing a Google search a while back. I couldn't find drawings or dimensions so I had to improvise and just build to my need. This is going to save me a ton of space and make using these tools so much easier.

Very nice.... Plans?
Just an idea for people trying to find the hardware. I'm having trouble myself but four simple gate locks work just as well.
I like it. The only bummer I see is the height of the sander; obviously due to the planer.
I know this video is over a year old, but I just found it. I am really considering getting that same spindle sander you have. Just wanted your opinion of it, now that you've had it a while. Thanks
Bruce Collick not to bash the ridged OSS, I would not buy it again. Mostly issues with the table and getting it flat to the main surface.

Very good! I like the thought you have put into the design. I have been wanting to have one just like this and now you have provided me with the inspiration! Thank you for your video
genius! awesome!
Excellent build and great video!!
Very nice clear video, thank you. I loved the addition design thoughts as you went along
Great project. Good use of space. One question: When you flip the oscillating sander does the stuff stored on the machine fall out?
Thank you! And to answer your question... Yes! I made a small box to keep all the accessories in that sits in the lower portion of the stand.
Nice build. 👍
Where did you get the pivoting locks?
Thats a pretty good tip about the domino I always see people marking it out and I always assumed that the best way to do it, yours seems more accurate and quicker!
nicely done. exactly what I was looking for.
Congratulations lad! Good work.
Nice tool cabinet and well done video! Thanks for sharing brother!
super awesome that you were representing both Alaska and Hawaii in this vid. (awesome vid btw). :D
+Seth Messer Seth, Thanks. I think for my next video I'll go for Scotland and Ireland. ;o)
Where did you source the swiveling mechanism to secure the top? Very cool, great idea!
im impressed with such important project - not because of installing two machines in one work table or even its operation is a must - but because we live in an era where high rent rates are sky rocketing and mobility of operator and machine should be minimized to its minimun having in mind the time involving production in any project in general which is enough to push our generation to create new mechanisms to properly operate in this environment
at the end, im wondering what color did you chose for your device ..
loved it. great project well projected to the tube. must make one of these for my tiny single garage shop
I need to build one of these! Thanks.
Good job, I will make one
That radial arm saw has time on it :-)
Awesome build, would love to see it in action. Also, would it be possible to have a link in the description for plans to make it instead of following the video? Would be handy to print them out and have them for reference.
Very cool! Thank you.
These look great and the space saving is nice... but how hard is it on your power tools to hang upside down are there certain tools that you should never hang upside down????
I would hate to lose out on the lifespan of my tools just to save some space.... I simply don't have money to waste replacing my power tools.
Nice work! Just curious what table saw fence you have and if you like it? Mine is toast and looking to upgrade without having to sell my truck to buy a new one.... Thanks!
Great job! How has it held up. Is there anything you would do different
Looks like a good build but you said you used 5/8" bolts to attach the planer to the flip top? I don't think so!
Well done good sir. GOD BLESS you.
great project
What kind of bottle are you using for your wood glue?
Very cool, what are you using as spray lube while you drill into the steel?
I like I like TY Sir I for sure will do the same for my 12”Disc sander and Bench top drill press to get the press off my bench !
Thx’s
nice do you have the plans so I can get the measurements
This came out really nice and I like the fact you used a steel/iron bar instead of a threaded smaller in diameter bar I have seen in other flip top carts.

why did you use a dust vacuum while cutting on the driveway?
