Planer/Sander Flip Cart... By Fisher's Shop

- In this video I build a flip cart for my Planer and spindle sander. I used the plans and video by Fisher's shop. This cart is super clever. It can only rotate 180 degrees, allowing for power to to be supplied to both tools without interruption. It was easy to build and I'm thrilled to add this piece of organization to my shop!
I built this cart, but I cannot take the credit for the design. I saw a video by "Fisher's shop" and I didn't think I could improve on his design. I bought his plans and built the cart according to it. If you decide to build this cart, please support Fisher's shop by watching his video here...

And also, you can go to his website and purchase his plans. The guy only asks for $5 and that is beyond a fair asking price. Please support him as I did.

Kudos to you for giving credit to Drew. Most woodworkers do attribute like this.
It's only fair.
1. I will never ever trust and respect a man as much if he WON"T admit that sometimes he's just too lazy to do something. It is perfectly acceptable to sometimes say, "I was just too lazy." LOL.
2. Enjoyed the video. Fisher is one of the good ones. His dad humor is both horrible and wonderful. Lets all take a moment of silence for Fisher's poor neighbor.
3. Keep up the good work.
I built Fisher's cart too. Great design! I made some mods to the design to fit my specific needs, but the design is solid.
1. Used 7/8" washers instead of pipe flanges at the pivot points. Drilled 4 holes in each and mounted with screws
2. Added an axle and 8" wheels on the rear and a retracting/locking handle so I can tip it and move it like a two wheel dolly. I needed this so I could get it out on the driveway and back into my garage when needed.
3. Instead of a 15A power strip, I put in an electrical box with a 20A outlet and a 15' 12 AWG cord to help prevent low voltage due to voltage drop on lighter AWG cord.
I was curious about your comment on Fisher's sense of humor, so I tracked that video down. You were so right! The best part is just how deadpan his sense of humor is. Especially liked his comment about wiring the new plug on while its plugged in and you're standing in a bath tub full of water. Oh, and I like your build too! Good video!
Dude is hilarious. All of his videos are like that. On top of having good projects, he also has good entertainment. I just wanted to make sure and give credit where it's due. I hate when people copy other people's projects and not give credit.
It was handy to have your twin brother on hand to help you assemble the project - at least the guy LOOKED like you! 😃 Nice work!! Thanks for making the video.
Hola! 🖐Nice video, great job on your build and explaining as you went along. I'm a big fan of Fisher's Shop as well, good for you to credit him. Grammy (my wife) and my sons (along with their wife and kiddos) gifted me a planner for Father's Day. I immediately thought of Drew's cart for it. Now with your accompanying video, I feel much more confident in building one for myself. Take care and have a good one, Adios!👊
Tks a lot It was nice to watch you resolving chalenges. It was helping me to get passed the learning curved, as they say
Love my flip top i have two planers on it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Great video.
Its nice that your twin brother helped, mine never helps me. Nice job.
Thank you for sharing the build of Fishers plans!
Fisher's awesome! Love his humor.
In the process of building my own. Really appreciate the detailed plans and video. For me it made sense to start with the tool platform to guide dimension of the base, shelf, etc. And I decided to add a flat washer, which also affected those measurements.
Really cool, thanks for the tips on the planner size
Nice job!! I will be ordering his plans thank.
great tips at the end of the video. .. appreciate your sharing the mishaps!
Yep...I built two of these from Fisher's Shop plans.....I love it. Chopsaw/table saw on one, drill press/band saw on the other ( I had to change a couple dimension to accomodate the height of the drill press & bandsaws).
Thanks for the great video. Very helpful.
at 17:38, I'd be cutting the plug off, running the wire through and wiring up a nice Hubell plug!
I am going to make a flip chart for my router and spindle sander, and this video has given me ideas about details that I would have missed. Thanks a lot. However, being this set up a permanent thing (or so I would think,) I wouldn’t have bothered in keeping the power cords as they are, I would have cut them to exact length, connected them in parallel and saved the hassle of having to install a double socket plus the problem you encountered of the plug not passing through the flange. May sound a bit radical but I doubt you’ll ever disassemble this again unless one of the machines breaks down or has to be substituted. Great job overall and thanks again for taking the time to make the video.
Nice build. I really like the idea of putting an outlet in there instead of a power strip, especially with a Dewalt 735 which routinely operates over 30 amps. I would definitely use 10 AWG extension cord wire for my build. But, between you and the Fischer video, I think I have my flip cart plan. Thanks

I’ve got the same planer and sander. Watched Fisher’s video a couple of times, and now yours. Think I’m gonna give this a shot. My only complaint would be not being able to store the planer attachments since they fall out.
I have identical tools and like Fisher's design as well. Will be adding height and width and braces. Side attached wheels could lower overall height to gain some stability. I appreciated your contributions to this design, and have subscribed to your channel for more.
Better use a 30" long 1" black pipe with flanges on the outside or else your sides with start to spread apart. Pivot can not rotate at all and must be structurally integral to both sides to support heavy loads.
But with side attached wheels you loose the ability to swivel and maneuver the unit - right?
you could do a little hack to keep the knob on. it wont look the best but if you want to you could cut part of the wood on the side only were it would travel as it rotates and then put a piece of plywood over the cut part on the outside to give it back the strength. its just an idea. good build
I would have cut the electric chord plug instead of disassembling .... and connect a new plug afterword’s :) nice job!
Lol thought about it.
Did mine 5 years ago (times 2). Right after he posted it.
What size of bolts did you use to secure both the tools?
Nice job! I plan on building one for the same two tools as you did. Have you had any problems with the cart being a little tippy when using the planner with boards over 4 feet long?
I've put 8 foot boards through it with no problem.
@@termitewoodwerx5896 Thanks
I have the exact same planer and sander and after looking at Fisher's video was planning to make the same. Glad to learn the dimension changes which I need to make from your build. I guess you have been using it for sometime now. How do you like it? Is it stable enough to plane? Any other adjustment or enhancement you think one should do? Do you have the plans for your build by any chance?
I use the planner constantly with it and I have no problems. It's pretty darn stable, but if course, the taller you make it, the less stable it is.
Yes, there's one modification I'd like to make to improve the rigidness of it. Along the front two bottom corners, just above the drawer, I want to make a couple triangles to screw into the sides and the horizontal piece above the drawer. This would stiffen it up quite a bit. If only be able to do it on the front and not the back because the planner swings through the back side and there's not much room for the triangles. I hope I made some sort of sense.
As for plans... i don't have any. I built it directly off the Fisher plans except for the added height. I wouldn't make plans for it because it would not be fair to Fisher. It's his creation and I don't want to take credit for it. I would always like to encourage folks to buy his plans. It's a measly $5.
I might start making plans for other projects in the future. I've never tried to sell plans. I'm kinda new at this and not very good at it.
Hope you get yours built and it serves you well.
@@termitewoodwerx5896 Thank you. When you say triangles for support do you mean something like this build has: th-cam.com/video/lQIVGEwBXfo/w-d-xo.html This build has at both front end and back end. I think if I want to add both at front and back I will need to make it more wider so after the triangles there is enough clearance for the tool to rotate. What do you think ?
I was going to buy Fisher's plans anyway, but since I just bought the Wen Planer I wanted to see if it would be stable enough. I'm glad that you saved my brain on adjusting the size modifications on height and width. Drew's plans are $5.00 should I send you a buck for the modifications? 😉Merry Christmas
Am thinking on making this same cart. Concerned about the strength of the sidewalls myself. Will probably make each wall a sandwich of 4 vertical 2x2’s and plywood glued on each side. Maybe a little more work and cost but a lot of peace of mind.
After using mine for several months, I would view that a way overkill. I'm real happy just the way it is and am completely confident on it's strength.@@jeffwilder7117
I'm looking at this build for:
1. a Dewalt 735x that weighs 90+ pounds and
2. a Mahuda 8" Jointer that weighs 65 pounds.
That also changes the dimensions a couple of inches.
I'm concerned about the weight.
Had thought about a maple stile along the center of the outside to support the pipe and to use a 3/4" pipe instead of 1/2".
Is a single sheet of 3/4" enough to bolt on that kind of weight?
Any thoughts?
I'm not sure if the weight on my planer, but it's not far off from yours. It has no problem supporting this weight, and I feel pretty confident that I could double the weight on it and it would not be a problem.
As for the pipe, don't bother with 3/4. You have to look at where the force is being applied in it. It's basically a shear force right between the wall outside walls and the rotating platform. You wouldn't be able to shear that pipe with a 20 tin hydraulic press. All the weight is being supported on the ends... like in about half an inch of pipe. Good luck breaking that.
As for the plywood... kinda the same thing... basically the pipe is trying to rip down the length of the plywood wall. I don't know how much force it would take to do that, but it's probably in the thousands of pounds. Now you might get some marring of the plywood over time. If you're concerned about that, i think a good solution would be to drill the hole in the plywood a little bigger and put in some sort of a brass bushing that could be more wear resistant. That way, the pipe rides in brass, not wood.
Another thing... i built mine a bit taller because I needed the clearance for my planer. I'd say... build the thing a short as your equipment will allow. I'm more concerned with the sides trying to spread out since they are really only attached at the bottom. I'm going to be adding a triangle support at the bottom where the sides meet the top of the drawer enclosure.
I hope some of this made sense. It's hard to picture with just words and no illustration.
Let me know what you end up doing!
Sweet build! I'll make the same one in a couple of days with Fisher's plan. I have the same ridgid sander and planer too. Did you made changes to the width of the flip top too for the Ridgid planer? I check and thought I had to add 4 inches to the height of the sides and 2 inches to the width of the flip top and bottom, but I found you video after I made my calculations and it seems like you only added 2.5 inches to the height. Thank you!
Yeah, I only added to the height. And it does work... however... if I had it to do over, I'd make it a tad wider. In order for it to work, I had to remove the knob on the lower right because the knob wouldn't clear. Not a big deal though.
@@termitewoodwerx5896 Oh I see! Thank you very much
@@Wombatcan Did you build with the modified dimensions? I have the same Ridgid planer and sander and trying to find out the dimension changes. I am considering making the width of the Flip cart bottom to 27 1/2" and flip cart side height to 34 1/4 like you mentioned. Wondering if those dimensions worked out for you.
@@talktorohit54 did you make this with those dimension changes?? how did it work,, getting ready to make one as well.
How stable is the cabinet, when in use?
I think wheels on the side, compared to underneath, would bring alot more stability.
But putting wheels on the side means that they can’t swivel and you can’t (easily) maneuver the unit around the shop, right?
Silly newbie question. What did you paint it with? Acrylic? Enamel? Floor paint?
Got a question . My planner weights close to 100 , how hard is it to flip yours , does it want to go down fast
Do u still have the silver camaro on welds???
That car wasn't mine. It's a friend of mine. It was at my house because I turbo charged it.
What brand and model # table saw do you have? Thx
What was your final height?
How do you get the double image in your videos?
I use premiere pro to edit videos. The camera is put on a tripod and cannot move. Then two separate videos are shot without moving the camera. Then the two videos are stacked on top of one another so they are both playing at the same time. Then I use a mask effect to draw a line between the two videos so half the screen is one video and the other half is the other video.
It's actually way too much to explain here in a text. It's really not that hard to do. Here's a link to a TH-cam video that teaches how to do the masking effect...

Thanks very impressive
Dude, look at where the height of your spindle sander is! It's practically at shoulder level!
What tool are you using at 4:01 ?
Your upper guides on the bandsaw really need to be lowered closer to the wood you're cutting.
So you still have to drag an extension cord around...the table has to get power some how!! You never mentioned how you did that!
That cord that goes through the hole that I had a hard time with... it's 15 feet long.
"I was too lazy" attitude will bite eventually.
What does this mean?
I'll happily paint for you if you build me a cart :P
Dude! I’ve made bonehead mistakes like that. It sucks!
Haha. Yes it does! Especially when you know better.
Great idea with the tape and ca glue instead of double sided tape
Nice job. But that table saw is an accident waiting to happen. You gotta get a splitter installed behind the blade!!!!
Just like Drew, you used screws too long putting on your drawer face
