HAY PLS SEND THE LINK FOR THE RIDGID DRILL URE USING ON THIS VIDEO THANK YOU SIR
I love this, and definitely plan to purchase your plans.
Q: Will it fit a Bosch router table with the dimension of:
22.75 x 27 x 14.5 inches (LxWxH)
I would put a DeWalt planer on the other side.
Thanks in advance.
Great video! Watched a bunch of YT flip top stand videos and your's is the best. You've given me my next project for my disc sander and spindle sander.
DUDE, your ideas are genius. I'm loving your builds. You've got a new customer.
“Just a bit outside!” Classic!!
always a classic :)
Great Bob Uecker ref haha
Brad and Sue Congratulations on your one million subscribers! I found your channel one night as I began looking for ideas to begin my 3 car garage workshop. I am a mobile base tool believer! This flip top design was a real space saver!
I really like this flip top. Also, you do a great job with your videos. Good dialog, plenty of instruction, and a sense of humor! I’ll be buying the plan for this. And, just a note here for others who watch this and have an attitude about buying plans; I’ve been building cabinets and furniture for 50 plus years. Yes, I could draw out plans of my own and build this. But, for a few bucks I can buy these plans, make any additions, subtractions, or changes of my own if I want to, and get on to actually building this faster and easier than starting with a blank sheet of paper myself. So, I have no qualms about building someone else’s idea if it makes my life easier. This is a well thought out flip top, and I’m looking forward to building it!
Just ordered all the supplies I need to build this. Can’t wait to get started.
Brad, really like your plans. Just finished the ultimate cordless drill deal but didn't need all the battery storage on a top shelf so I made 3" removable grooves and 1/4" ply inserts to keep my pneumatic nail guns corralled as well. It has been a terrific add to my shop. Looking forward to getting this one underway starting tomorrow!
Your build plans for this cart are excellent! Great detail and with the video nothing is left to guesswork. I wish all the plans I purchased were this good.
Very nicely done !! Really enjoyed this video. Shb'd about 6 months now. Thank You for taking the time and effort to help so many, especially newbies to woodworking like myself. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and videos, Rodney
thanks for the feedback, Rodney! Glad to have you onboard
I made this a while ago. It's working great. Nice to have the plans since the tools you put on the original build were the same ones I had. Rare that I can just follow plans with no changes. I did the pocket holes for the bottom. in a slightly different order. I first attached the shelf, then the bottom. I didn't have to use the "funyuns in the vending machine" technique that way. Thanks for the good plans!
That Jet is quite the upgrade from the old ridgid planer! The new dust cyclone in the back too, amazing!
I love how you can clearly see your drill press behind you when you drill that hole cooked...Been there
congratulations on your safe and efficient saw setup - exemplary! CZcams should give blue-ribbon awards for safe shop operations (and warnings for a lot of these tool-heads.)
Sound job, good space saving too.
I love your humor, great video, thanks.
Thanks for the plans, Easy to follow (along with the video) and the end result looks great and works well! I note a few things; The plan calls for 3/4" pipe and to drill a 3/4" hole on each side. The 3/4" pipe has a 1" outside diameter. The plans should reflect this or at least the verify the proper size holes. Also, I added a 2X6 frame on the bottom of the cart to add a bit more wood and larger screws to attach the casters and give it a bit more weight given that I was attaching a thicknesser which is quite heavy, just a suggestion, thanks.
I channeled my eighth grade self....best line I heard in long time...Great Build also!!
great video, perfect for our small garage in our condo complex.
This was a great video, and I’m definitely looking forward to implementing this for better storing my bench top planer and jointer. Thank you very much! 🙂
I got the flip top tool stand done and its great. thanks for such great detail in the plans. last month I did the mobile miter saw stand .I got a lot of great comments on it. thanks again. my son thinks I built a shop just so I can build projects for the shop. and the french cleats are great also.... maybe the kids right.
The drawer face attachment via hardware holes blew my mind.
Awesome updates Brad! I had actually thought of supergluing the washer to the threaded knob but I figured with the tension would eventually make it come loose. Good thinking with the epoxy! PS love the magnets too!
Awesome video Brad. I really appreciate you showing the learning process. It makes a huge difference during a build. Those little tips and tricks are so helpful.
those make all the difference in the world!
The little magnets are just what it needs, more concentration on the flip, instead of trying to grab for the lock downs. Too Cool! Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you for the plans. Came out nice!
Didn't expect the plans to be so detailed - thought it would be a few drawings and dimensions. Great job with the plans and the video!
I'm watching this in 2023. Seeing Brad use Baltic Birch makes me want to cry in jealousy. I miss it so much! lol
Nice clear instructions and great video. Thank you !
Total rookie here but I finally bought the plans and made this yesterday f9e my new DeWalt 735w and Rigid Spindle Sander. Took me a day and the plans worked out great! I made a couple small alterations on the fly but otherwise worked awesome!
Great idea with those little magnets!
Well, you’ve earned a new subscriber. I found your channel looking for ways to transfer images onto a guitar and found that and so much more. You sir are an excellent teacher. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Everything I build will be better because of you.
So awesome to hear feedback like this! It's the main reason I do what I do!
Subscribed and saved this video...I'm just getting back into wood working after about 30+ years and my work space is small so this will be very handy.
yeah - this is well done. Thanks for sharing.
Your plans were fantastic. Built mine over the weekend. $9 was a steal!
Quick tip for folks building their own. I used 3/4” conduit which has a .9” outside diameter. I made .1” deep dado 1” wide in each of the tops as the 3/4 backing pieces were only .7” thick.
Thanks for the tip. I used the exact rod he used but it was still too tall for a 1x2 (3/4" actual) and just came inside to try and find a solution. Going back out to the shop to cut dados
Thank-you
Awesome job, keep up the great content and work.
OMG you’re amazing!
Hey Brad......We just bought a jointer and spindle sander .I'm thinking this would be the perfect way to go... If it works out for us, I'll be making another one for the planer and belt sander.........
I'm glad this showed up in my feed. THANKS for the video.
Great channel and I really love your stuff. I’m putting together a shop right now.
Here’s a like and subscribe based on the Funyuns joke alone. Also great build.
Brad this upgrade is awesome. Having build your original I agree 100% with your upgrades as they address some of the issues you pointed out. Now I just need those two new tools and I'll build myself a new one ;) Thanks for being such a great member of the woodworking community.
Thanks, brother! 💪
Your explanations are so clear - fantastic build, thankyou. I’m thinking of changing my current mitre saw cart to one of these, so that when it flips, the other side is a flat work table, which can be an outfeed table for my table saw cart.
I was wondering if this would make a good cart for a mitre saw; did yu follow through with this idea
That was an awesome project. It's always good to watch your creativity.👍
Thanks!
Awesome!
Great video and info, thanks! I'm building this now but with a few changes.
Rather than a 3/4" tube to hold the flip top, I'm using a 5/8" steel bar (cuz I had that available). I cut a 5/8 cove along the edges of the pieces that sandwich the bar so there's no wobble as it spins. The bar will rest into 5/8" flange bearings to allow easier flipping.
Also, rather cutting the slots for the retaining eye bolts, I glued 2.5 x 2.5 x .25 piece of poplar at each corner of each piece of the flip top. I already had the 1/4" wood and it made things so much easier. This also allows adding ball catches rather than using magnets.
Lastly, I added a hanging tool storage to the side for the lathe tools.
I made mine 33" wide to fit my mini lathe.
Just bought the plans!!!! I have to build the CNC Table and work bench first...but ya know...COVID!!! plenty of time lol I'm going to need a 42' TV in my shop to watch all your videos as I build!!
i always love these videos...clean practical useful builds!
thanks!
Best flip top I’ve seen. Great video too. 👍🏽
thank you!
Great flip top and tricks for improvements. I really like the use of magnets! Thanks for posting
You're welcome!
thanks for sharing the video
Awesome build.
Sir good work super video
that's beautiful
Very nice innovation Brad.
Love all those incremental upgrades !
thanks!
Great video with great explanation on how/what you're doing. Second vid I've watched of yours and I'm very impressed. Your newest subscriber!
Lol 1:24 “just a bit outside”
Great build, really enjoyed this! Not sure when I will need something like this, but when I do I'm glad this video will be in my saved playlists. Thanks for sharing all you do!
you're welcome!
That was a good build.
Good job I am trying to do my 👍
Awesome job Brad, like the upgrades as well! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
thanks, Fred!!!
With hair like that that you can build anything. 👍👍
Great job Brad.
Yeah, that was something 😂😂
Hello Brad! I ordered the plans earlier this year and finally got around to building the cart over the past week. It turned out great! Two things I want to mention though that may help others with the build. First, I just didn't feel comfortable with the lag screw mounting method for the tools, so I went with holes drilled through the top and machine bolts, washers and nuts to secure my planer and sander. Since the Dewalt 735 planer and my WEN sander have completely different mounting hole patterns, it wasn't a problem at all. And even though two of the sander bolt holes ended up directly under the planer, the Dewalt 735 has what amounts to a "hollow" raised base that sits almost 2" above the surface which allowed for the end of the bolts from the sander to protrude 1/2" with no issue. Secondly, and perhaps most importantly....if you are going to mount a Dewalt 735 planer and plan on centering it on the top, you will NOT be able to flip the top without removing the handle that raises and lowers the planer bed! Ask me how I know...lol. Yes, I was a bit bummed when I tried flipping the top for the first time, but that handle removed with only one hex bolt and the tool for it and other adjustments on the planer sits in its own slot right on top of the planer anyway. The only solution that I could imagine would be to mount the Dewalt 735 at 90 degrees away from what I would consider to be the "normal" way to mount it OR simply move it to the left far enough for that handle to clear the top of the right side piece of the cart. I'm sure those few inches wouldn't cause any issues with the balance of the cart. For me though, I'll be in the "remove the handle" crowd whenever I need to use the sander! 😅
Awesome to hear you finished it up and it's working well. And I can totally appreciate you not wanting to have the 735 off center, lol
Thank you for this information. I was wondering too. I am also building one right now and that was a concern to me. I will follow your advice.
I really do like this design & idea. So far, IMO the best use of space for a smaller shop (like mine!).
I have this "portable" drill press that you add your cordless drill on the top and push it down to drill straight. Im going to use it to do that part @ 1:10.
Wow, fast, concise and so professionally done video/editing/narrating.
Thanks!
Thanka for the video. Looking forward to this build! 💪👍👌
Have fun with it!
Great plan nice job.
Awesome build. a sash lock on oppisite corners ( and a top stop) would work and if there's a bearing the table could rotate with little effort.
My weekend proect thanks
Nice, Brad~! I've been looking thru all of the woodworking CZcamsrs that I follow for versions of this project for my shop - I need to build 2 of them. I think we have a winner~!! Thanks for the great content, as always~!
Glad you dig it!
Супер, спасибо за идею!
Nice project!
Excellent 🎯💯
Nice build! Good video!
Hey mate, new to your channel, was looking for "cabinet how to" for my reno's. Your explanations, helpful tips and the length of your content is on on point. Will come come in very handy in the near future. And my shop is small so these space savers will be great. Thanks mate.
You're welcome!
I bought these plans and glad I did. I’m not great at coming up with things and measurements in my head. I do better when I have instructions I can follow along with. My first attempt at building this was a success. So thank you.
You're welcome! 👍
Gotta have one...after chopsaw station
solid stuff, love your channel.
thanks!
I actually just built this about a week ago. It is very useful so far. I did the same as you for the knobs and washers. I will definitely incorporate the magnet though.
Only took you a week to figure out what took me years :)
Nice on Brad.
Very nice!
Nice work Brad! Your video editing and voice overs are on point!
Thanks, JP!
😍👍 You got some pretty fun, complex but very kewl builds. 😍👍
10:00 😂🤣👍LMAO *CLAMP a CLAMP technique* ...digging it!!
Just downloaded this plan. I hope I do it justice.
That's a flipping nice cabinet!
😀
très beau
i built an original recipe version and it's been awesome in my shop. the upgrades are a great idea! this is the project that brought me to be a FTBT subscriber, and the content has just been getting better ever since.
if you don't have one of these carts, build at least one!
Thanks, Mike!!
Like the hardware upgrades!
👍👍
haha.. 1997.. yep, I built that same flip top. Had my Sander on one side, and my grinder on the other. I'm 64 btw
Damn this is clever... I've seen a few of these but this one is by far the better one. I'm going to attempt to build one for my sander and my drill press, but I'm thinking I might add some vertical storage to both sides. Thanks man! always inspiring and sharing valuable knowledge!.
Hope it goes well!
Great video. I like the detail and explanations for your design elements. I made mine in almost the same way, but with 2 differences. First, I used 1/2" solid bar and bronze bushing instead of the metal tube. I found they were easier to source. Second, my bottom drawer floats on two thin hardwood pieces instead of a drawer slide. This lets me open it from either side with drawer pulls on both sides (two drawer fronts). Like you, I pull mine out and away from the wall about every time I use it. My floating drawer lets me store accessories for one tool in the front half of the drawer and accessories for the other tool in the other half of the drawer.
Those are good design changes 👍
Hollow tube can let you run power through it to the tools so you don't have to plug them in every time you use them. Easier if you use 2 shorter pieces and a T-junction than trying to cut a hole for the interior access. Make sure you stop the flipping at 180° so it doesn't coil up the cord over time, and run power in through the tube to a power strip in the top that you plug both tools into.
Does anyone else who has made this experience the sides separating from the top when you spin it? Every time I rotate the top, I have the bang both sides back on to the pipe. I'm not sure what is causing this at the moment but I'm thinking the pipe being captured on the outside of the side with something like a locking collar & thrust bearing would solve this issue...of course you'd loose the extra support block. We'll see! I just got mine finished yesterday and I'm excited to have the space saving opportunity from another FTBT idea. I added some little extras with a walnut drawer front and 3D printed accessory holders and cord wraps. I also need to come up with something to prevent my planer tables from falling during the rotation but overall a win for the shop! Thanks Brad.
Dude! Epoxying the washers and adding the magnets are genius upgrades!!! I'm so doing this with mine. Thanks for letting us grow with you man! #TeamFlipTop
I'm glad you did a video on this. I've always been super curious about a flip top stand. I recently moved into a much larger shop and I'm not really hurting on room. But I still like the idea of this. Man it sure would be nice to have a Kreg Foreman to put on one side. Thanks for sharing. I'm off to watch your DIY Workbench video that you added drawers to for your Xcarve. I'll be making one of those in the next few days.
Thanks, Angie! That workbench is a great add to a space for quick storage
Super cool Brad, Just Super Cool!!! Dirty Jersey out!!!
thanks!
Great build. One suggestion. Use a pipe cutter to cut the pipe. Makes it a lot easier. Just finished mine. Came out great thanks to your video.
It was a fun build! I was a hair off on the distance from the drawer to the side which has the drawer slides in a bit of a bind. I will need to install a shim to correct, You may want to final cut the drawer parts after the carcass is assembled to get the exact dimensions. Only thing that came up at the last moment is with the Rigid sander. I looked at it and thought "what is going to happen with all of these items stored in the base?" Good thing the drawer is deep enough to store the sanding belt attachment. Thanks again, my do the drill press stand next.

Perfect video, congragulayions
Nice build. I am currently starting with a rework of my 92 sqft shop and plan to buil 3 flip tops to mount all my bench top tools on them. I am planning on putting height adjustable wings on at least one of them to add support for the one my miter saw will be on.
that sounds awesome!
