Flip Top Bench Cart

[@TheRosstaman]

Excellent job. I would recommend the 2 following things: 1) you should face your tools opposite directions so when you flip the top, you never end up behind the tool. 2) you should use the retractable stepdown caster wheels so when you're using your cart it can sit level on the ground, and when you need to move it, you step down on the caster wheel and move it. This will also require you build the cart just slightly taller to account for the difference in with and without wheels.

[@wallytrinc9885]

Your analysis does have merit ! thanks for the feedback , regards Wally

[@jamesblock1319]

You can always use the brakes.

[@TheRosstaman]

@@jamesblock1319 True enough, but there's always a little racking on wheels. But in the end, do whatever works for the individual.

[@GaryJimenez]

Just purchased my lumber and hardware for this. There are many videos for these carts but I found yours the most useful. Thanks for the video. Cheers!

[@wallytrinc9885]

Thank Gary , yes there a many of these carts in KZbin, I simply added my own personal touch to mine , One thing I will say they are very top heavy ! invest in quality castor wheels , add tools in the Bottom drawer (counter the weight-top)

[@aravenstale824]

I agree !

What did you get?

Well done Wally, best build on KZbin!

Thanks Wally! Love your design. It’s just what I wanted. I may “dress” it up a bit and make it a touch more feminine 😌

[@kentoowin]

Super nice. A long time ago Sears made one simular, but rotated 3 of the smaller table top tools, table saw, belt sander and router table , plus 2 others, I think.. I always wanted it, but now this might be a better one.

[@wallytrinc9885]

Thanks Ken , yeah there are many different versions of flip/tops ,,, making mine on a long work bench did cross my mind .

[@axellajohannesson447]

I am looking forward to making this, because it looks great, and is in METRIC MEASUREMENTS! Thanks so much for the video.

[@wallytrinc9885]

Thanks again , there's a lot of functionality in this bench cart, it's space saving & allows me to store accessories in the below drawer & the fact I can move it anywhere in the garage with ease.

Thanks very much Sir , glad you like it 🙏

[@geoffhirschi803]

love your unique take on this project. Just a tip for next time, if you have a grinder already, you can get a cut off disk for it that will go do those metal cuts much easier. Like a hot knife through butter.

[@wallytrinc9885]

Thanks for the tip mate , great advise 👍

[@geoffhirschi803]

@@wallytrinc9885 one quick note of caution - have a GOOD hold of your grinder. When the cut is almost through sometimes the metal will pinch the disk and the grinder tries to run away. This can cause really bad injuries.

[@SykesFW]

I just got my Dewalt planer this past weekend, so now I need a table for it, I’ve been watching videos on the subject for a couple of weeks now, I honestly have to give you credit for the best breakdown video, of step by step action to make this table. Excellent work. Now only to get you to go to IMPERIAL MEASUREMENTS, come join the dark side, leave the metric world behind!! ( you do kinda look like Obi-Wan)

[@wallytrinc9885]

[@slbentley]

Is your thicknessner (planer in the states) still on this cart? I want to build a flip cart for my planer (which I have yet to buy) but concerned about the weight. Its roughly 92lbs /41kg. Video is 10 months old. If your thicknesser has been sitting on it for 10 months, I'm curious if there's any sag or ill effects from the weight.

[@wallytrinc9885]

I'm in Melbourne, Aus , my thicknesser weighs approximately 90lbs + Ryobi sander 42lbs , with a combined weight = 132lbs , it's very top heavy ! to balance this I've added various tools ie power saw , electric hand planer etc in the lower drawer for balance , very important to add quality castor wheels ! .....10 months on , No Bow , No Sag , the 19mm Marine plywood is extremely efficient , hope this answers all your queries , ''cheers ''

[@arkansasboy45]

How many sheets of plywood did this project take?

[@wallytrinc9885]

If my memory serves me correct , (1) sheet @ 2400mm x 1200mm x 19mm , miscellaneous pieces ie drawer etc were various off/cut pieces (previous jobs) .

use the whole blade when you use the hex saw.

[@wallytrinc9885]

[@ali-ascentsayder5641]

Dude, I have a question.I see an error in the measurements visible at 6:45 23/32 seconds of the video.real measure:365+90+90=545 /2=272,5 Why do you measure 271.5?waiting for your reply.thanks.

[@wallytrinc9885]

In a Perfect World , one would use a table saw to cut (6) exact Panels @ 745mm X 545mm. What I tried to emphasise in my DIY , is by simply using a power/saw the everyday ''Punter'' can make a bench cart . Reviewing my video @ 2:05 23/32 seconds in , the marine ply off/cut straight edge may not have been squarely positioned correctly (1mm ) ? ....combined with a not so sharp saw blade led to the measurement discrepancy. Where you cleverly highlighted @ 6:45 23/32 seconds , I again measured the upper width (both panels) which measured a Bee's Dick over 543mm- thus giving me a 1/2 point of 271.5mm .

[@fredhampton1786]

yOU ARE THE "kING OF pOCKET hOLES" Gave me anxiety through the entire video. Why do you like those pocket hole screws??????

[@wallytrinc9885]

Easy to use - stronger than normal screws - can be hidden easily - & make construction easier , because one can screw things in from the side ....'' aLL hAiL the King ''
