Carl, you are not just an excellent wood worker, Sir, you are a genius. I am a rookie and I am inspired by you. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us. I see that you love what you do.
The beauty and strength of the age-old triangle. Thank you, Carl for reminding those of us who have a propensity to overbuild that good design matters. An ever ongoing lesson to be relearned.
ROFL ... "I think that's enough to prove that the wings are strong enough to serve well." said dryly. Holy toledo, I think the naysayers were shamed when you put a 20kg bag of salt on the end of the wing, let alone another 48 kgs!!! Good on you Carl!
Wow! There was some deflection but no breakage. I doubt you could find any material that heavy to be cutting on the stand. If you did I doubt the saw could cut through it. The wings are plenty strong for the purposes designed.
Gary, Length of support is thx to Pythagoras: "A squared + B squared = C squared". With wing raised, the wing, cabinet and support form a right triangle. Distance A on cabinet (wing pivot rod to support lower attach bolt is 26 1/2"; Distance B on wing (wing pivot rod to support upper attach bolt is 26 1/2" ; Distance C (triangle hypotenuse) is 36" - two pieces with pivot bolts 18" center to center. Support attach blocks have slotted holes for final adjustment. ///Carl
An elegant, strong design, beautifully demonstrated.
Great post! Thank you Carl.

Carl just killed the haters.
You are a good sport and excellent designer! Thank you!

Good on you Carl!
well do, a vidio on how the braces are made would be nice. nice work!
nicely done Carl i am impressed
Awesome Job Carl!
I'm a a believer! Nice. JimE
You are my hero! Keep it up, you are amazing.
Anyone who understands physics could look at those and understand that they are sturdy. I love you video response to the criticism!
That's brilliant Carl, good on you mate 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice one Carl!

Marvellous! Compact, graceful, strong & elegant, everything to like!
Love it! Great video.
Impressive
Well done.
Well played with the load test. I think most people don't understand the might of the triangle.
Thanks! Great demo. I had to smile all the time you proved your design! Love it!
150 pounds. Mic drop.... lol
Excellent design and presentation, as always Carl.
Uma excelente solução com este carrinho para espaços pequenos e com a fácil movimentação. Parabéns pelo trabalho!
Nestor, Gratias por los elogios. ///carl
Excellent Project as always....
Great stuff Carl, love you site, keep it coming
Nice
This video needs to end with the song "damn it feels good to be a gangster".
I think this wing design would work well for a flip top stand for a miter saw and a planer.
I think the first bag was more weight than must people would ever have on there.
How did you make the locking supports?
Thanks,
Gary

Thank you sir.

You don't have to prove anything to anybody Carl.
