[@rs2343-o4e]

Matt, I for one love the complete project videos. They are how you got started please stay with this type of video, they are your roots. Please dont jump on the shorts band wagon.

[@731Woodworks]

Thanks. I gotta do shorts to keep the channel going. But I’ll have more of these builds as well.

[@brandonwoodworkersclub4097]

Like how you start off showing the completed project first. So many just start off building and it leaves you wondering what's going on. That turned out really nice. Hope it works well for you.

[@jimh472]

100% this. More channels need to do this.

[@ShopNation]

Great looking little cart!

[@731Woodworks]

Thanks! Your battery holders are awesome!

[@rexseven6907]

Your pile of safety glasses reminded me of a small idea for people. Discovering affordable safety glasses with bifocal readers was one of my favorite finds. Sunglasses with readers are around too.

[@dblarue8611]

I appreciate your humility. Admitting and showing your mistakes proves your human and gives an amateur like myself hope👍🏻

[@JohnWaclawski]

So glad to see you building again. This video got a thumbs up within the first 10 seconds because I missed watching you build stuff. Thanks for sharing Matt! Keep the build videos coming!

[@chrislane6564]

Matt, you’re the best. I love how you show your mistakes (not many) but that we all can make simple mistakes. Makes me confident on doing these projects.

[@johnmclain6535]

Very nice. Been seriously considering building one of these for my small shop! *saved*

[@tbone2500]

Echoing some of the other comments, thank you, thank you, thank you for showing the little slip ups. For a guy that’s really hard on himself, it really helps me give myself a little grace when I make a mistake, knowing you are not perfect. 😉 Watching lots of KZbin how to videos, it can seem like no one ever cuts a piece wrong, as I seem to do periodically. 😅

[@gnomingoswoodworks1219]

I love the pass-through for the planer. That will be in my mobile planer cabinet build for sure.

[@mikelharris495]

I agree with Paul, you should do more builds. Anyone can do tool reviews but not everyone can build like you. You have great skills and I have been missing your builds.

[@731Woodworks]

Build videos get MUCH fewer views than anything else I put out. This one is no exception. I try to do one to two build videos per month. But so long as people don't watch them, it's hard to justify putting so much time and money into a project. For example, as of this minute, this video has 36k views. Of the last 10 videos I have released, at the same amount of time since published (first 2 days), 7 of those have many more views. The top 3, 50k to 70k views in the first 2 days. and that view rate continues as the video is out longer. I don't expect (and is highly unlikely) that this one would be any different. Just a little insight into why there are fewer build videos on my channel (and many others for that matter).

[@philmininni5981]

Matt, I appreciate you showing the mishaps. I don't feel so inadequate. I am just now getting ready to use some Outlaw Butter for four cheese slicer boards. Thanks for your channel.

[@731Woodworks]

👊🏻

[@arnoldolorenzo3474]

Hey brother, thank you for sharing the skills you’ve acquired through all your experience and the talent and gifts god has blessed you with.

[@pmcgurn1]

This is very straightforward and a great beginner project. The fact that I have the Dewalt planer and have similar struggles with where to put it made this one a no-brainer. Thanks for the awesome video, I"m looking forward to building this for my shop.

[@731Woodworks]

Glad it was helpful!

[@scottswannie2500]

Once again Matt…that rocks. Don’t need one, but good to know.

[@ghostface1737]

I. Have. Been. Needing. This. Project. Forever! Thanks for the inspiration, brother! God bless!

[@jimh472]

I have planer and jointer on two separate carts. Your design looks much better

[@ArmyGmanN]

I need to build something like this. Thanks for doing another build video.

[@bobsnow1996]

Great quality build... I have a very small Shop/Garage so I too build only so big or small to fit my work space. I won't buy a tool that can't fit neatly away in the Shop/Garage it's all about the space! I watch more 731you-tubes than any other you-tubes because you are always trying new stuff... and you are very prolific with your videos... just finishing up a sewing station for my wife. First time I made drawers... at first intimating... but they are so easy if you follow a some simple rules. Keep up the good work I do enjoy!

[@timothyoshell4249]

I appreciate the variety of your tool brands. I've always bought what I can afford and I'm trying to upgrade as I'm able. I think the fact that you, your tools, your project, and workspace are so relatable makes you more likeable and your page much more enjoyable to watch. I even have a random leaf blower I use constantly! Thank you and yall have a great day!

[@Arno4242]

You can also incorporate power, like a multiplug on the inside then you only have one plug for the cart to plug in when you want to use it. Nice build man!

[@Paul-044]

I own a Massca pro M2 pocket hole and it is worth the money and it's made metal and aluminum. Unlike the blue brand. The cabinet is a great idea and it looks great. Great video and content

[@anneoreilly4900]

Love the slide thru! Smart!

[@mellymel1100]

You're so clever! Thanks for sharing your ideas, skills, and talent!

[@rickbooher8224]

Great design. I could see this as a kitchen movable island with just few minor changes. Add a nickle steel, stainless steel, marble or granite top for baking, candy or pasta making.

[@davedayton]

Very nice build.... I like the way you adapt the project as you build. Also I appreciate that you show your errors as they happen., it makes me feel better that I am not the only one that do these silly mistakes. 😜

[@731Woodworks]

I make a ton of them lol

[@timothyoshell4249]

I had the same thought about the mistakes. "To err is human" but it's nice to see a maker show they are human also. My current project I am over sanding because I forgot to set the depth on my hand planer and had a 'whoops!' moment.

[@PureBloodWNC]

@@731Woodworks to error is human. Like others have said, I appreciate you showing your humanity with us.

[@richardharrold8777]

I so wish I'd watched this awesome video three days ago before I spent so much time planning my own mobile storage cart! However, it's reassuring to see that you confirm so many of the decisions I made - and the power tips are really appreciated by the likes of me with so much less experience than you. This is a fantastic space saver for those of us with smaller shops. Can't wait for the weekend and the chance to start building my own version of this great cart! Many thanks!

[@scottmorris4914]

Good to see you posting builds. Thanks.

[@kenjonwoodworking7277]

I always use ridgid insulation under my plywood when I’m breaking it down with my track saw. It works beautifully! Nothing falls after you cut it.

[@jeanchance9334]

What I love about your channel and your woodworking is that you let us see that everybody will makemistakes from time. Evrn the great 731! That encourages all of us to know that it happens to someone who is considered the best I say that with all the admiration I have such confidence in your work.

[@CreativeCustomDesigns]

I was looking for ideas for a mobile planer table and came across this video......I already have a few other ideas as far as the cabinet design goes.......I do have a jointer coming soon so this size cabinet will work well. This will also give me a lot of practice with my newly acquired Kreg pocket hole jig. THANKS for this video Matt.

[@731Woodworks]

Glad it was helpful!

[@robertstewart9658]

I love the slide through planer slot and since I have that exact Milwaukee parts box it will be perfect.

[@BethRavengeGreen]

Ok. I'm posting this, because you had asked for suggestions. :) I got ahold of a (free) dresser set and would like to make a workbench out of it. Most youtube ideas I found were pretty old. I have the 6ft long dresser, and two bedside tables as well, I am trying to think of a way to possibly attach the two side tables to the back of the long dresser and maybe just have a place to scoot a chair or another larger item under the open space. I hope that makes sense. Anyway, I am newer to woodworking, but I love it! I can't afford to take out a mortgage for a few sheets of plywood and lumber to build one right now, so I'm hoping this will work.. lol Thanks, in advance for any help! :)

[@lawrencemay8671]

I cut about 12 3 x 3 blocks from a 2 x 6; then sanded them smooth, glued two to each other for added hight for plywood support. Did the same for my lawn mower, cut four exact one inch 3 x 3 blocks to support the mower housing to level it exactly. I do this once a year as I do my spring tune up.

[@flashwashington2735]

Great cart! Now I must find horse to out in front of. Maybe that stubborn of the oldest living English idiom: you know the one they keep leading to water and still, he won't drink!! God bless you and yours. Thanks for this.

[@xXSCARECROW19Xx]

I have the same exact planner and jointer and just got the Triton version of the sander. I will probably make this sometime soon. Genius build.

[@Buffy1967]

Yeah it really turned out great! I know you look at analytics but I hope you do more builds , really enjoyed this one. One I'm going to follow for sure for my garage.

[@beccamayberry9907]

Also love that you included the candid mishaps, good thing I’m not the only one it happens to haha

[@RvKsword]

i appreciate you leaving your mistakes in, makes me feel more confident in my projects, if someone with much more experience and skills than me can mess up, its not as frustrating for me :D

[@imsowright90]

Looks nice. I need to build one like that.

[@derekjarman1638]

Looks great! I like the holders for the batteries - good idea 👍

[@xquakexx]

Dude you just gave me an idea to turn my old drawing table into a custom thing. Thanks man!

[@tfwoodcraft]

This thing is great! I have a big cabinet thing thats not on wheels blocking most of my shop. I got it for cheap and used a cabinet and drawers from it for another project, but now I have my band saw, miter saw, and drill press sitting on top of it. Its a nice station but its always in the way. I think I'll build one like yours in this video and then finally organize a bunch of other crap laying around the shop with the added shelves and drawers. Thanks! Now I just have to figure out which tools I want on top of it.....

[@rv4tyler]

A Thumb's Up for listing the tools on cart so I don't have to waste a day trying to track it down for purchase.

[@lincolndickerson1293]

Great build. Great descrption of the how’s, why’s, and what to watch out for. I like the pass under the planer idea.

[@ozarkcraftsman2784]

Nicely done! Looks super functional.

[@J4Julz]

I really enjoy your videos Matt, and you inspire me to make the things that will help keep me more organized. I really appreciate you!

[@kimhavey7850]

I love that you show when make mistakes. I just made a frame for the top of a table for third time!! Very frustrating! Good to know I'm not alone!

[@731Woodworks]

We all make them. Yea it’s very frustrating lol

[@7tosand]

Excellent job. Your build was very detail oriented, as well as your instruction. Thank you for your service.

[@joefaraone977]

Thank you sir! You have so many great ideas for the garage shop -- thank you! Blessings to you and your family!

[@rawrmusic55]

Really enjoy your videos. Great idea for some functional workspace/storage. Cheers!

[@lisaalbrecht7900]

Brilliant! Just purchased the plans. Looking forward to making this cart.

[@austinstephenson9877]

Nice to see you building something again!

[@chadfallon3378]

Great video! I love these project build videos. I learned a lot. Thanks Matt!

[@mysticswordsman]

Its okay Matt, I am glad you do not edit out the mess ups too. This keeps us humble.

[@oldave100]

Dude, we gotta make on of those bad boys!!

[@mcmathwoodworks]

Great idea for a build! I need to do something kinda similar soon in my shop.

[@rtowns7999]

You Sir, are an inspiration! Absolutely love your work and have learned so much from your videos!

[@evelynmueller6523]

Fantastic cart, fantastic build video. Thank you for taking the time to record this and post it. These builds have been missed over time. You do great work which shows us newbies how to get through a build like this. Awesome job Matt!!!

[@PunkR0ckz09]

Very nice! Here's a power tip; Cut out a notch in the divider and locate the magnetic part of the "latch" in there. Then you can simply cut any flatbar stock and bolt it at the upper outer most part of the doors. No need to waste money on 2 kits! One is enough! :)

[@wayneosteen1539]

I love the idea of bench cookies, but the cost is prohibitive for me to have as many as I want. So I use hockey pucks. They're cheap and work perfectly! Thanks Matt for the great content. Keep up the excellent work!

[@JJAH28]

Very functional and a great use of space. Nice job!

[@StampedClay]

Yeah boy, more of THIS please. 🤲

[@justinkeller4008]

Looks great!

[@lawrencemay8671]

I do love your videos because you explain things as you. Go.

[@beccamayberry9907]

Love love love this video. Perfect mix of walking us through steps in real time vs just overlaying while the build steps are in fast forward. Idk if that makes sense but I’m a fan 😂🎉

[@731Woodworks]

Thank you Becca! 👊

[@AN1Guitarman]

Next time, make the storage modular! Add French cleats to several locations like where you hang the clamps and such then the box can adapt overtime to your needs! There are some neat ways I've seen to make locking French cleats so that if you hit a bump with the box everything doesn't jump off, that will be necessary in this application.

[@tomatha3713]

Just a thought to address the handle interfering with your planer; you could cut your uprights for your handle at a 45 degree angle from the top of the cart towards the floor and then flip it end for end and dowel them back on, that way it would push the handle away from the planer and give you access to the hand wheel. OR, could you make a riser to sit under the planer to raise it above the handle? Just a couple of thoughts. I really like the design and will have to think about adding one of these to my shop this winter. Glad to see a build video from you again, you always spark ideas for build for my shop.

[@andrewmakestuff]

Im in the middle of re-doing my garage shop and am struggling with where to put my jointer and planer, this is exactly that I am looking for! Love the pass-through and material staging section under the planer!

[@goodscustomfurniture]

Awesome Matt

[@rubecountryman]

Looks Great! Love the pass through area under the planer, I always set my boards on top and once in a while i knock one over and ding it up, this is a great fix to that. ... One suggestion, add a little piece of foam in the cutout area under your rules to keep em' from banging' down hard when you drop em' in ;-) Great content!

[@jonnysaenz5048]

I’m loving the cabinet style builds man. Keep up the good work and thank you!

[@peterwilliams6188]

Great video Matt, full of very useful tips. Thank you Sir.

[@Joey-il4qd]

Great build video, I like the in-depth discussion, didn’t feel rushed and you showed your mistakes. I’ll be purchasing this file. Maybe a CNC table build in the future…

[@731Woodworks]

Oh yes, would be a perfect small CNC table

[@JamesWelbes]

Finally, a project video!

[@TheGiantWoodworks]

Great build! I always love your build/project videos because you always do a wonderful job at explaining the details and I always find myself learning new things to put towards my own future tool carts and shop projects! Thanks as always.

[@731Woodworks]

Thank you very much!

[@DavidMcCabe]

This build took some thought Matt. Nice job on it! I have both tools as well and built a milling cart out of one sheet. Not nearly as cool but holds the tools!

[@ltsky311]

I saw your video of the new miter station, Have you thought of making a flip top stand for the Drill press and another tool, I see a lot of Planer / Drill press ones, might make it more convenient for your drill press situation. Nice work on this one. or a scissor lift so you can just slide it out and lift it up. There are some pretty cool ideas out there for this solution.

[@delmsie]

I was gong to build a Flip Cart until I spotted this beauty!

[@robertkerby2581]

Excellent design, and build! Well done!

[@stanmashek3085]

very nice

[@keithc6370]

I had planned on putting the dewalt planer and shop fox jointer together on a small cart just like you have. However I didn't think about the storage possibilities, nor using plywood only. Think I'll go with this build, thanks!

[@LYTOMIZE_Woodshop]

I love the final decision you made to give more stability underneath. Better idea than adding more plywood!

[@elitelawn9547]

That is a very cool cart. Great for the planner. I think I need to make one. Thanks and great job 👊 mistake and all 🤣

[@MikeZMonroe]

Nice job. I made a similar tool storage cart. Used two used base cabinets connected back to back. Stored many tools, small power tools and thus became super heavy. Problem…my casters failed. Buy heavy duty casters, looks like you did.

[@guybowers9094]

Great build video Matt, that cart will make a nice addition to the shop

[@DoresoomReviews]

Nice design! I have the same exact planer and jointer and had been kicking around the idea of making a cart for them both. I'll have to check out your plans!

[@dennisTHEmenac3]

Great build and design Matt. Looking forward to seeing this cart in action during future build projects

[@HomesteadingGeek]

I like this design,if I decide to make this I may make a pass through on one side of the handle area so I can store a roll of shop towels,just an upgrade I'd do for my shop.

[@1packatak]

Can you make a small workbench that someone with just a circular saw, jig saw, drill, pocket hole tools and maybe a miter saw can build?? I need one about 24-28 wide and 20-22 deep. Don’t necessarily need drawers but maybe a shelf or two. And can support some weight. Everything I see is so big. This grandma would appreciate it!!!

[@mad2barxhst]

Very nice and functional.

[@trevorsmith4597]

I learned a lot from this video, thanks man

[@jimrosson6702]

Very cool 😎

[@CharlesNolanArt]

This is a very handy idea for all of us who work in our garage. One question, Can a person make this with basic tools? I can't afford a Festool, I don't have most of what you have. You deserve it cause I have never seen such a clean and organized work area. Good job!

[@731Woodworks]

Sure, all cuts are square. Just need a way to cut straight on plywood. You could use a circular saw and a straight edge to do that.

[@debandmike3380]

The king of product endorsement.

[@731Woodworks]

🤴🏻

[@capnmark4]

Nice cart! I was planning on building a wall rack for 4 storage boxes similar to your but now I'm thinking about turning that project into a drill press stand.

[@tonxmodern4436]

the amount of safety glasses makes me think you secretly have a giant group of minions doing work for you lol

[@woodworksbygrampies1284]

Hola! 🖐What a really good video and awesome work cart.🤩I'm going back to watch your first work cart video, linked here at the end of this video. I'm sure I've watched it before but it will be a good contrast and compare to this current video. Take care and have a good one, Adios!👊

[@charliepetricone8974]
