Dual duty

You know how when you....well, maybe not you.....but me for sure....get that itch
for a new toy........you.....well, maybe not you...but me for sure.....you get the
new toy before you know where you're going keep it.  When I stumbled onto the idea
of getting a scroll saw to use for the really fine work on my band saw  boxes, I,
of course, had to scratch that itch. 

At just about that time, I had purchased the materials to build a new cabinet for the planer.

As I suddenly had a second toy for my tiny shop...what to do? 

Remembered seeing some fliptop cabinets on Pintrest.  It did not take much

time to find the one I wanted.  Got it up and running this afternoon.  Still needs drawers.
Not sure I'm satisfied w/the knobs.  ....so, far, very satisfied w/the effort.

Good for you - looks great1

I love those flip carts and have been wanting to make one for the longest time - I've made 3 rolling carts for my tools, but don't think I have the skills to make that flip cart!

Very nicely done.  I have seen a similar project but it had 3 decks instead of just the 2.  Thanks for sharing this with us.

I would love one of these for sanding tools, but I'm with you - I don't think I have the skills to make a flip cart!

[oldhudson]

Well done. I'm sure you'll enjoy it for years as I do mine.

Great ida ,  great work.

Nice work.  My hubby made at least one of those - I think he put his jointer on one side and the planer on the other side.  Like yours, it is also on wheels (as is pretty much every tool in the shop).  He kindly did it when he was making room for me in HIS shop for my scroll saw(s) and additional sanders for the Intarsia work.  I won't show him your pictures with a scroll saw on it, he might get the idea that he could put both of my saws on one and reduce my allocated space!

Okay, now THAT is AWESOME!!!! 

[justdraftn]

Thanks! all for the comments.  I have impressed myself w/this one.

I needed the planer yesterday to mill the material for the drawers...

it takes less than a minute to switch the machines.

Created a couple of drawers.  Nothing fancy.  I had to stretch my cabinet from

the plans for the length of the ss and the in/out feed tables for the planer, 

I have a drawer on each side.

Oh Yeah! Pocket hole screws! Very creative use of space. Well done!
