This video is obviously meant to demonstrate the workmanship skills utilized. A much much simpler flip top bench is possible to make in less the time and just as sturdy. His skills are at a professional level and enjoyed watching.
I love that you built so many of Matthias's machines. You did a really good job on them!
+Kaden McDonald They're well thought, so it was a pleasure making them. I'm waiting for a 2hp motor so I can make one of his bandsaw :)
That's a cunning way of drilling a hole in the middle of a sphere, I like it.
I was going to build a flip top machine cart from plywood but I like your ideas and design so now I think I am going to change my design and make it from 2 X 4 now! Thanks for sharing and thanks for the ideas.
A woodworker NEVER has enough room;) Nice feeling to have a little extra space for the next tool you "need ;) ". Thanks for the video!
You're right. People say that with a 1000sq foot of floor in my shop I'm set. But actually I often need more space, all those tools on carts are a space saver.
damn ! those finger joints
WOW you have an exceptionally well equipped shop. Festool saws and sanders and all the specialty Wandel machines and jigs. Your grass has greened up nicely; it is Festool green.
Crazy Jigs Alain! Wish I had some of that knowledge and skill to build those!
Don't know how practical, but very original and saves a lot of space. Very interesting approach to the arrangement of the equipment. Good luck! Like!
Love these. Great design with the joints, my favorite part.
Alain, I like your design. I to will need to build this sort of flipping cart. Your new shop is so great! Thankz
Great idea and one that I will copy for sure. Many thanks.
Man I’ve never seen so many jigs, you make everything, very nice
Brilliant workshop, loads of really nice tools and a great video on construction.
flipping brilliant!
I love your woodwork jigs,you are amazing woodworker, wow.
Alain, very nice and inspiring build. Fine Shop Furniture.
And once more thank you for the measurements Alan.
Master at work!!!! Always good too seebnew contents from you
Efficient and clever idea. I really enjoy your work.
Love your videos! Thanks for making them :)
Awesome project, Alain. Need one of these for my spindle sander and bench grinder!
+Crafted Magazine This would be a perfect cart for those.
i think this is what i need! thank you Alain! i have a very small shop with a lack of space. This will help a lot!
Excellent. Loved it. Thank you for the tutorial.
That was a good watch. Very well done!
Thank you
Great project Alain! I have seen other carts similar to yours but they were made out of plywood. I really like your design and this has inspired me to start one for my shop. Thank you
Awesome! You definitely inspired me to build one :) Thanks!
Excellent work, monsieur!
this carts are extremely usefull. Nice work
A good project for me is defined by how many of my tools and jigs I use in the construction. I didn't keep count but you used a lot of your tools and jigs in this build therefore a Great Project. ;) I like your doweling jig.
Wow, your videos just keep improving. Nicely done.
Your jigs are amazing and your joints look awesome!
thank you
Well now you have an excuse to buy more tools for the carts! LOL. Great video Alain!
Alain, I love your channel, and your videos :-)
I have limited space for machines I rarely use. I think I've decided to make one or two of these for myself. Thanks for sharing!
All this effort into a utility cart is impressive and shows your level of skill. Great video. I need these carts for my closet sized shed shop lol.
Yes they're quite useful, even if my sho is not close to a closet, I love having some tools on wheels and move them aside. I figure that if you don't need thousands of drawers having two tools at the same place takes even less space.
It's always a pleasure to watch your videos :)
Love your stuff
great job. Thanks for sharing.
nice project and very informative ty
Nice job- every shop could use one
Thanks, Alain. I have a tabletop bandsaw, drill press, planer and sanding station that this would be perfect for!!!
Thank you for a very good video all the best john.
buenos vídeos mecie gracias x los TIC q nos da
Brilliant idea thx for sharing.
Regards
Very nice carts and video.
It's nice to see someone not use pocket holes everywhere.
My pocket hole jig, yes the one with only one hole, must have less than 2 dozens holes under it's belt. Lets say that even without one, I would sleep like a baby at night. :)
Funny to see that dominos are used to build a dowel jig! haha!
2 things. 1. I could watch your videos non stop. 2. I would love to be your glue supplier. I could make a fortune. Keep up the great videos!
beautiful build. looks like you got to use a lot of your jigs to build the flipping table (double entendre)
that could be handy for a home built router table I would say... thx for inspiration and perhaps I will make something similar once I own a router ;)
Nice job 👍🏻
I made a couple carts all from mdf a few years ago and they are not stable any more and they turned out to be very heavy and the casters were to small. I like your design of the top and the locking pins is excellent .inspiring yes ! Ill put my plner and spindle sander on one .
+Edad Martin My first one was built 5 or 6 years ago I have over 175 pounds on it and it still as sturdy as the first day I made it.
I like his ‘’ ‘alf inch ‘ead “
This is great! I have to do this - I've completely run out of room. My jointer sits on my table saw and my planer is on the floor begging to break my toe.
Don't break you toe, this hurts, I know that first hand :)
You're all set up for a Frank Howarth style video where the wheely carts come to life at night!
+Peter Collin I wouln't want my tools to run away, maybe they find they're not in a nice enough place :)
+Alain Vaillancourt with your beautiful shop I doubt they would. Maybe they'd bring some friends home.
You have indeed inspired me Alain! I really love the way you work. It's very inspiring to watch. Was that just pine you used for the frames? Thanks
+David Handley All mine are from hardwood, but I don't see why pine wouln't be strong enough.
Salut Chef! You need a coffee maker for one, toaster for another.
Excellent and wonderful work.
You could put a machine up and one down?
Excelente y maravillosa obra. Se puede poner una máquina de arriba y otro abajo?
+Francisco Corona Yes I can, it's what I did on my 2 others, but I don't have tools to put on those two yet...
Very nicely build! I presume the height of the carts matches those of your table saw so you could use them as extension table?
+Harold Teunissen Not exactly, I've fixed the height of my first one by the height of the drum sander bed. The bed is the same height of my workbench so I have a outfeed table when I sand long boards in the drum sander. After that I made them all that same size.
by the way I love your work
...DAMN.... this is GREAT.. how i wish i have that spacious shop to build my hobbies...i'm only doing it at my very very small back yard...:( but nice video :)
You can always buid one for yourself ;)
Cool👍👍👍👍👍
Amazing work. Curious why no lateral bracing, do the joints prevent lateral movement?
Thank you. I didn't want to obstruct any sides. But briddle joints are strong enough to keep the frame square without any braces
Bon Jour! I like your creativity and your shop. I really look forward to seeing your projects. Might I suggest that you need to replace the miter saw with a radial arm saw. It would allow you to cross cut those wide pieces you seem to favor. I really pains me to see you using a jig saw to do that chore! Then you could put the miter saw onto one of those flip carts.
i have a 10 inch radial arm saw. i almost never have used it, my table saw, and miter saw have all i need in that respect. also it is getting very hard to find a radial saw any where.
This is the easiest flip cart build I have seen! By the way the woodpecker name does not do you justice, (shop craftsman) , artisan
Thank you. I have three of them and they're quite useful
You, Sir are the jig master!!! Great video.. You definitely get a sub from me
If you Keep adding tools you'll have to build a second workshop. The flip carts are great.
Thank you again Alain, can you give us rough overall measurements?
+Alfredo Isaac The flipping top is 25"X25" and the sides are 30" high without the casters
Lovely cart. Thanks for tip on how to drill ball centers. Was doing them crooked.
Any reason you chose dowels instead of domino's?
+CelestialLites Just because I made the doweling jig. Dominoes would had been faster, but not every one can afford one.
+Alain Vaillancourt Dang! You should have made doweling jig years ago and saved me some money. Brought Domino year ago after watching all your videos. When wife found credit card bill I blamed you! hehehehe
+CelestialLites Nice advice, I should had used this one LOL I just had to find someone else to blame :)
Mon ami, you have such great skill! I so enjoy your videos! Would you ever want some Texas Mesquite wood to play with? Be glad to send you some if you do! Abilene, Texas.
+Henry Robinson Wood, it even better than food :) I would be so happy to work with wood that I never used before. Thanks
why did you use your jigsaw to dock the rough stock and not use your festool Capex?
+Darryl John Bosch I rarely use it to cut rough wood. when the wood is wraped the blade might catch if the board moves when I cut it. Same thing for teh circular saw. But with the circular saw it's even scarier, the saw is thrown back at you, this I never do anymore. It's why before owning a jigsaw I always used a hand saw to cut my boards into smaller planks.
Salut Alain, j'ai regardé attentivement ce vidéo et j'aimerais savoir si tu en fait un pour le gabarit à tenon que tu utilise sur le banc de scie. J'aimerais bien m'en fabriquer un. Merci
J'ai utilisé le plan de Matthias Wandel pour fabrique mon gabarit, je l’adore les 2 joues se coupe sans changer le setup.
Alain, you have a nice Festool Domino! What is the reason you do not use it for this project? Greetz from Germany
+Jan Albrecht I wanted to try "for real" my doweling jig. Yes using my domino it would had gone faster, but I know that it's more likely that someone own a doweling jig than a domino morticer.
Alain ... you could have installed those tools on both sides of the same cart and you would have had one cart spare! lol
I just watched the cart build & is what I need . Do you have any plans ? and where can I get them ?
Yes just go to my website thewoodpecker.net in the plans sections, You'll find the plans for this cart and others.
How many Wandel machines can you fit in one video? :)
+Peter Collin I dont know, this can be the next challenge :)
Alain Vaillancourt good answer!
Even glues the joints the same
Круто
Nice work, but you used really nice wood for legs, and then some crappy plywood?
it's a fact.. .But I wanted a sturdy cart with a nice surface to screw the tools on. With all the tools on both sides of my cart I don't even see the plywood anymore but the hardwood is still pretty much visible.
Hi Alain!
Have you ever thought about a out feed table to your tablesaw?
/Swede
+69sungam I recently made another workbench which act as my table saw outfeed table. But don't expect the video soon I'm still editing the gifts I made last christmas... My editing is so behind it's unbeleivable....
Could you do this same thing with pine and it hold up ok?
+Will Merritt yeah... I don't see why not, I'd just make all the components a little beefier and pick nice tight grain, clear stock when you look through the bunk of lumber at the hardware store or wherever else you might get your lumber.
+liamg1995 I agree
Will Merritt wow I didn't realize that was all hardwood. That's some serious bank.
Bonjour je je voudrais savoir si vous avez une vidéo sur le gabarit a que deux droites que vous vous servez sur votre scie sur table merci beaucoup
Malheureusement non.... Je l'ai construit avant de commencer a faire des vidéos. Par contre si tu va sur le site de Matthias Wandel (woodgears.ca/)tu trouvera les plans et des vidéo, mais c'est tout en anglais par contre, je ne sais pas si ça te cause des problèmes?
Furniture quality
Craftsman...
What, hardware did you use for the pivot points?
it's just some ½" bolts long enough, with fender washers
I was just about to building one but everyone, but you, has a 1/2 pipe going all the way across. Looks like you just have those bolts which is so. much easier. I would have thought it wouldn't be slippery enough to turn easily@@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker
@@johnvatistas6569 Yes it's only ½" bolts with fender washers, it's working quite well, but both holes have to be really centred which is not a big deal if you drill them together before gluing the frame
Hmm...
How about a wall rack to hold just double tops that can drop in to rolling tables?
Wall space are rare like gold, and it's a bit complicated....
7:36 Festool jigsaw magically goes from battery powered to wired between edits. :-)
+Henrik Mikael Kristensen Isn't that amazing :)) I only have one battery for my cordless jigsaw :(((
This dude just doesn't believe in screws.
I notice when you cut your rough lumber you use a jigsaw, why not use your circular saw. it looks like your jigsaw is struggling a little bit. is that the case.
+Matt Dodaro Before owning a couple of jigsaws, 1½ year ago I used to cut my rough lumber by hand, not anymore. But I never use a circular saw, when I cut a rough board, long time ago, I had a piece of wood and it was all twisted and bowed the blade pinched and the saw was throwned at me, this was scary. Then same thing happend a second time, since my fingers won't grow back if I cut one I decided from that moment on, to never cut rough lumber with a circular saw.
thanks for the info. c u can teach an old dog new tricks appreciate your wisdom!!
Looks like most of you locking pin holes are offset. Your tops were crooked in almost every shot. Should have clamped some scrap wood across the tops to keep them level with the edges.
bonjour monsieur alain vous habite quel ville
+Galler Bruno un petit village a l'ouest de Montréal
Beautiful wood frame and then you used that crappy plywood for the top!
LoL It's funny! Your second comment is a argument against your first.
Hi like the cart. But spraying outside NO NO
It always depend of the time of year. One thong for sure I wouln't spray outside these days...All the poplar are spitting their seeds and it'S awful.
plans?
Yes on my website in the plans section thewoodpecker.net
I miss the mistakes and fixes!
+MRrwmac I made 2 of them before, so all the mistakes were done in the first two, I just did like Norm used to do, make a prototype with all the mistakes and redo the same thing for the show, but I can't make that all the time.... So mistakes will come back :)
great work but ...id rather see people making these with items we already have, all those fancy jigs lol, most of us havent got these ...
Why use dowels when you have a Domino?
+Tom Stephenson I wanted to really use my new doweling jig. I know it would had been faster with Dominoes, but not everybody own a domino.
+Alain Vaillancourt Makes sense. I've thought about a cart like this for my planer and sander.
+Tom Stephenson Go for it, I love having my drum sander and planer on the same cart I never use both of them at the same time so it's not to much of an hassle flipping them
it seems to me that you are not a woodworking but youtuber
Almaty Furniture Factory Shop what?
no need for all real wood or fancy joinery, most needing this cart have a small shop and not all those high end machines either...many simpler examples on u tube
but what the fun in screwing plywood together? I do this for jigs, not for furniture and even less for shop furniture. Making nice joinery for your shop make you practice them, so when you need to make them for fancy furniture at least you did the joinery before. And then you can say that if your joinery is not 100% that's, it's not a problem only you in the shop will see it....
I don't understand why these pantorouter enthusiasts go through so much effort to build a wood frame box. You can frame up a wooden box with 3/4" plywood more accurately and even stronger in 1/10 the time. No mortise and tenon required!
No you can't.
really? watching this makes me want to just buy commercial.
