Ladies and gents,
It’s been a while. Long short, we finally escaped the communist clutches of CA, moved across the country to PA and are loving it here !
Naturally I took most of my trinkets with me, barring things such as the table saw (a discussion for another thread), so I had to come up with a way to package it. Building a large crate (or three) to dump it all in is an easy solution, but not a particularly effective one, so I ended up with a multipurpose design that not only organizes and stores the tools but can also double as a temporary workbench.
The frame:
Inner sheathing and runners:
Sliding shelves (this one is for the miter, the compressor and other heavy stuff):
Outer sheathing:
Putting the [coffin on wheels] the crate on casters:
End result:
What it can store:
Dimension are 36”x40”x96”, materials are 1x3 lumber (frame), oak (runners), 1/4”, 1/2” and 3/4” ply (sheathing, shelves, doors and panels), piano hinges and deadbolts, heavy duty Rockler casters.
