How to build a mobile flip top tool cart 

180 degrees vs. 360 degrees. 180 definitely makes more sense to me. Great build!

Advanced thinking is what it's all about. Brilliant idea . From the UK

Mate I was gunna say Top shelf build but it would create confusion as to which item was on the top shelf lol, super job all round 👍

Reworking woodworking another great lesson in how to make things, in our throwaway society. As usual great to watch thank you.

Nice build! Loved the idea for the electrical cable!

Great job, I enjoyed watching you build this cart. You have great skill in your workshop. Being frugal with what we have is always wise.

Good to see you back again

I love the tomato sauce bottle for glue application....brilliant. Really well done and totally agree with James Lintell-Smith's assessment as well!

No matter how you flip it, you always have a table "down under"😁. Nice job! Simple but very useful when you need to save space. And all out of left over materials!

This has to be the best flip top tool cart build I have seen thus far. I am planning on building one for my mitre saw and thicknesser. This means that I may need to make one side thicker (read, offset to make one side higher than the other side) so I can get a balanced outfeed for both tools when using in between the the benches on either side. Thank you very much.

The cart is top-notch. The fact that you made it from scrap and offcuts is fantastic! I love a workshop challenge. My first shop project my dad had me do thirty-...wow...thirty-seven years ago was a tool chest. It was made entirely out of scraps and off cuts because dad said he wasn’t going to buy materials for me to waste unless I proved I could make use of the waste I created. I had that roll-around chest until it rolled out of a moving truck about ten years ago. Shattered under the weight of the tools it carried when it hit the ground. I think I’ll rebuild it. Cheers!

Out of all the videos on you tube yours is the easiest to follow , will certainly be copying yours in my shop , thank you and look forward to watching more

All you tuber's should watch this video before ever publishing anything. As far as I am concerned you have done everything right. The camera work is excellent. No fast movements, no jitter , everything in focus and tight enough to see detail. Far enough back to see context. Audio is clear with no distracting music or background noise. Your commentary is spot on. Just enough chatter to tell what is going on and letting the video tell the rest. Your voice is clear and understandable to me. I have a lot of hearing loss so that is a real plus. Oh, BTW the cart isn't bad either. And you managed to keep things right side up so those of us in the US can see it without standing on our heads. LOL

nice one mate. Just a small comment from my own experience and in no way a critiscism- I did the same thing (yours is much better though) - with the 240v running through the pipe. Over time the flex on the cord inside the pipe junction wore through and was not far from exposing the wires when I discovered the problem. A bit of extra protection on the cable has served me well for coming on 10 years now.

Great build from pure scrap !!

Top stuff mate. Your cable management is perfect. Absolutely perfect! 👍👍

Fantastic cart. Thank you for showing your mistakes, we all get to learn from them. I manage to make some wonderous blunders in my workshop!

I really enjoy your videos and flip top carts are def the way to go with the amount of stationery tools workshops require these days 👍

Awesome Vic !!! Due to the same "space" problem I built a flip top as well, great space saver! I like the 180 flip with the built in cable management idea!!

Nice job, great to see some recycling of off-cuts into a neat flip-top trolley tool base...👍🏻

Love the use of the dead horse bottle for the glue!

Nice build!

The honourable mention on the action replay just made my day

Great job buddy, just what you need when space is tight and all out of off cuts/scrap, love it 👍👍👍

Thanks Victor, this is a nice simple built that results in something very useful - working machines on a reduced footprint. Also, the tools and consumables applicable to both come along on the cart for a ride. This has to save time in the long run. I have two bench grinders: One with coarse and a wide fine grain stones. The other has a brass wire wheel and a white stone for grinding drill bits and tooling. They both reside with their own stands and take up a lot of floor space collectively. I’ll maybe borrow your idea to turn that into a single footprint unit, complete with consumables etc. I would worry about wood though, maybe a steel frame and wooden in-fills would do the trick. Cheers.

Great job Vic. I have two mobile units that are going to get the flip top amendment Thankyou. Cheers mate

Great job! 😊

Great job. Loved the video. Hope you are feeling better. Thanks again.

Great video mate. Your videos always give off an aura of calm. When other people would be swearing like a fish monger's wife, you calmly acknowledge your "oversight".

I like it. Nice camera work too! Subscribed

Bewdy mate. Love the sauce bottle glue dispenser!

Great build. Surely next on my list, just have to finish the double bed base so that I can go fishing this coming weekend. That drawer mistake looks familiar.Fixed mine the same as you and still going after three years.

tomato sauce for glue- classic mate Love it! great work, i'll copy it

Great build Vic... I might have to steal that design. Looking forward to the belt grinder build next!

Very neat project , love the hidden cables cool.

Fantastic build thanks for. Sharing ps it looks great 👍👍👍👍👍👍

good to see you back, mate.

I just found your channel and 5 minutes into the video I subscribed, I really agree with Glen Crandall, absolutely excellent. When this video is finished I´ll check your other stuff and I´m sure I won´t be disappointed. Lots of good stuff coming from the other side of the globe. Cheers from Sweden!

Great build and video, Chris.

Superb!👌🏼 best version I’ve seen so far 👍🏼

Top job.

Nice one mate👍

:) Loved the 'this is for you Louie.' :)

Lovely job, well presented so that even the dumbest of newbies ( yours truly ) could follow easily. Thank you very much

Nice build, nice video, thanks for posting from Garry in the UK

Great Job Vic. How to make space..... BUT note to self, remember to remove the water reservoir before flipping LOL. ( Sorry couldn't resist ;) )

fantastic job, congratulations....!

fantastic build sir.

Nice build mate as always.

Well done. Good video and good explanation.

Very nice

I need to do a wider version for my 6" jointer & belt/disc sander combo.

Brilliant build, mate. 👍 Absolute space saver, a must in every shop, eventually! 😂 Oh, and I'll have a banana ice cream thanks, Vic... 😋 🍦

when chopping off 3 pin plugs - its a good idea to bend the heck out of the pins so it can never accidentally be plugged in again !

Nice use of scrap wood. a shallow tray under the wet grinder will keep the cart and belt sander from getting ruined.

Turned out really good 🤟🏻

Nice build Vic! Can you do a video on the technique of getting the chip in the whole? Ha Ha! Thanks!

Thanks

Nice job, especially the cost

This is awesome mate. SO no dramas reconnecting the cables after cutting? Really love your videos. Thank you

Работа просто класная. Руки правильные.

Excellent 🎯💯

Great build! Can you share any details on the electric paint gun you were using? I don’t have air in my workshop and like the idea of the powered one you were using. Thanks in advance.

I don’t think I would of put a wet grinder on flip table where does the water go

Mate I think its problem solvered just another clean fix :-)

I'm thinking of making a flip cart for my wet stone grinder too. How do you like the set up now that it's been a while? Also are there any issues with it leaking from the stone after sharpening. BTW great video

Very interesting mate, I like that idea. I don't use Instagram but have you done a video of the belt sander build? If so I would like to see that as I am considering making one as I have two spare single phase motors a half and a three quarter horse power that I could use for it. As I am fed up with stalling my little Aldi 6" / belt grinder combo

Nice build. Why is it timber and not wood?

Muito funcional parabéns!

Great build! I've got a question that I hope is not a repeat. Where did you get that belt grinder? Did you make it? I'm new to your channel and not familiar with your content. I searched your channel for 'grinder' and 'sander' and came up empty so far. Thanks!

Great video as always! Since I do not use instagram, may I please ask you to upload the belt grinder video also to RU-vid?

(Отходы в доходы!) waste to income. looks great!

Do you offer a free plan?

My God what a complicated gizmo with way too much effort. This would never work for me as I am sure it would frustrate the hell out of me always having to flip it when you need both devices on a project. A for effort but a definite FAIL Down Under buddy.

I'm finally getting a chance to built up my garage-workshop and have been watching a lot of RU-vid for ideas about flip-top carts. I absolutely love yours the most. Great job.
