FINALLY the project has come full circle. After sitting in the background for months, I have finally completed my flip cart, or “flip top cart“ as some may call it. These carts can be wheeled around your shop to available outlets, and stored out of the way if your wife still has that fairytail of parking in the garage. Instead of lifting them ontop of your workbench, or getting onto the ground to use your tools each time, spend the $80 per cart and build these bad boys. Featuring several endlap joints and a tenon joint, all cut using the miter saw (and one that requires a router).
I am breaking this video up into three separate parts:
PART ONE: is the bottom construction. the bracing, the legs and the caster wheels. it also includes the most important step: finding the correct measurement for you!
PART TWO: is the upper construction. the 2x6 top bracing and how to build the flipping section of the cart.
PART THREE: ohhh baby, part three is when we customize these carts even further by adding a sandpaper organizer, cord management and the drawers in the space between the tools. Im sure to have a few more ideas by the time I get to that step. lets not forget, the carts took me several months :P
