I really love your tutorials and have notifications activated to ensure that I never miss one. You have a unique gift of easily overcoming potentially troublesome issues. May I ask one big favour please? Any chance you could wind down the rock music in between narration, don’t get me wrong I am a fan but I do find it just a little too intrusive. I realise I’m probably in the minority, just saying as I don’t think it needs to be that loud. Cheers.
Like the design, very well thought out. Was reading through the comments and it seems like people forget that you took the time to make it, explain it and show ste by step how to build it. Some people rather sh!t all over something complaining about music etc rather than thanking you for sharing your idea. Thanks fo sharing!
Man, you just made my life a living hell hahaha I have been designing my fliptop cupboard for the last 2 weeks and now I come across your great video and it has told my design to get lost hahaha A video really well done and the project is amazing, thanks mate! Also, I went to look at your channel and saw you have a few videos only. Judging by the excellent work you have made, like the table for your mitre saw, you should make more videos... Your craftsmanship is great, mate!
Was thinking about this the other day. *not only does my phone listen to me it gets in my brain 🤷♂️ We used to put these rigs in kitchen cabinets for big mixers to pop up to counter height.
Thanks very much for this! I am building an island in our kitchen. I’m going to use this idea to make a lift for the wife’s food processor. I think she will love it. 🤓
I really love this. Just what I was looking for without knowing I was looking for it. Believe it or not, not only well this solve a similar issue in my growing yet small shop, but provides an idea for some costume cabinets my wife wants me to build. Very professional tutorial for a great design.
I am currently working on my own rendition of a mobile workbench station and was looking for ideas for the bandsaw, planer, drill press, and router table to all tuck under to leave a clean workspace for assembly. This is a really clean idea and I’ll be using this in customer sizes for all the tools. Thank you for making it.
Was just contemplating adding a Kreg Foreman to my shop one day, and realized I absolutely have no more room. And then I stumble on to your video. Perfect solution to my problem. Thanks so much. I am saving the video so I can do this if my cornhole board making really takes off and I need the upgrade. Thanks. Liked AND subscribed
I learned to do this when I started out in a cabinet shop, and use it as often as possible. Faster and more accurate than marking and measuring (too easy to introduce error when repeating), its a win/win!
Just found this video. I love this idea. I am in the process of completely building my own shop. I am trying to map out flow. I have been looking at making flip carts, but this idea makes me rethink that. Great job. Thanks.
Holy crap. What a great solution. I use a wheelchair in my small (garage) shop and have been struggling with coming up with a flip-cart design that would accommodate my sander (I have the Bauer (Harbor Freight) branded version of the same sander) as well as my DW735 thickness planer since space is at a premium. At my height, getting enough flip-clearance and not end up with the sander table too high is difficult. I spent the last two days making a cart with the DW735 on top and the sander on this type of lift and the result is fantastic. It puts the sander table at just the right height (essentially my slide out drawer is just a flat tray with sides - no riser necessary) and stows away easily under the planer when I don't need it. The only drawback is that I don't have much clearance behind the sander with the planer there, but I've never needed that really and with the weight of the planer I can pull the drawer out a bit to offer more clearance if the occasion does present itself even though the whole thing is on a rolling cart. Thanks for this idea!
That’s a great idea. Have a mobile cart with your planer on top and this sander below it. I wonder if somehow you could fit 2 tools below the planer. They could each come out on the sides so it wouldn’t block the planer from being used.
Might not be what I want for a sander base, but I'm totally gonna use this idea for my router table under my work table. Thank you for this wonderful idea!!
Finally got around to building this and saw your comment. I have enough room to add a router table drawer above my spindle sander and store the router in the drawer below. Win win!!
60 yr old guy here, just starting to build out my workshop, and I really wish you were my next door neighbor ! (lol_) I really like this idea a lot. BTW, most of my tools that I have been buying have been Wen tools and I'm really happy with them. Cheers !
Thank you. It took a bit of "I have no idea what I'm doing engineering" and multiple watches and re-watches of the video and first time installing drawer slides. This allowed me to utilize some wasted space under the vice on my work bench.
Chris, This a great idea, my friend. I still need some of the flip carts as well. My cabinets will have drawers mostly, so real estate will be already used up. You did save me a lot of time I'm the design portion of your solution. Thanks for sharing. Feli
I built my first flip top stand like the one you have shown and I always wondered why more people didn't build this type of stand just for the reason you showed with everything fall off. I built my 1st one 40 yrs ago and all of the ones I built are still in use and going strong. congrads you have the right idea.👍
I have been looking for a solution like this for over 2 years. So glad this video showed up in my recommended feed today! Awesome job man, this made me a subscriber.
Great design and build!! I'm getting ready to build a new miter saw station that will be 12' long. I'm going to incorporate this design into it for my Rigid sander. Thanks for posting the great video!
I was going to build a flip-top for my spindle sander and belt sander. I have VERY limited space and having a flip-top would free up some of that space but this concept is much better. I can have 2 or 3 bench top machines lined up along the wall and with this "flip-up" idea I wont have to drag the flip-top out to access them. And that also gives me much more, valuable, work bench space. Thank you! Glad I found this.
Thanks for a great idea. I have a Blackstone 22" griddle on a pullout in my outdoor kitchen. The only complaint I have is that it is lower than my counter height. I am going to re design the pullout and incorporate your lift system to bring it to above the counter, a better height for grilling. I will write back with the results. Cheers
Great job and fantastic idea! I just started building a base cabinet to store my bench tools in and to have a work surface to use them on. I've looked at flip tops, ceiling tracks with pulley or winch lifts, and even lifts similar to yours. I finally gave up and decided to keep it simple by placing to tools on pull out trays and just lifting them manually onto the bench. Your idea is by far the best I've seen, and I'm so glad I stumbled upon your video. I'm sure this application will work great for at least some of my tools if not all. Thank you so much!
Great idea! I have the same WEN sander in a small cluttered shop have been looking for a place to accommodate it. I'll definitely be building this system. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. I thought of doing one for a scroll saw that had slightly shorter front legs so it sat at a slight angle. Maybe it could be adjustable so if you wanted it to sit level.
I was considering a flip top, but this looks like a better solution. I'm going to build the same thing. but also add some sort of lock for when its up. Thanks
Just bought this sander last night, coming tomorrow. I think I’m going to do this!!! Might look into drill press and band saw. I’ve got a workbench with a bunch of openings for drawers that I can make into openings for this
Love the design. You are missing the reason why they made flip tops. Storage of multiple units. You have a thickness planer on the other side of the sander, so what are you going to do with your planer?
Great idea and great video! I’ve seen others but this is well-designed and well-presented. Definitely the one I’ll be building for a couple of my tools! Thanks for a great vid!!
Great solution. Stops stuff going everywhere unlike a flip out or revolving tool stand. For the drawer under my table saw stand, I angled the drawer slides up a bit to make it self closing. Might work here to keep the sander against the bench.
I've been considering a flip top for quite a awhile, but this seems to be a better solution, and simpler to make also. Thanks for a very clear and understandable video.

Thank you 🙏
I liked the music, I had to rewind a couple of times because I missed stuff while vibing lol
A toggle latch or 2 would be great to lock that to the bench. I love this video you explained those arms really well
Man, you just made my life a living hell hahaha I have been designing my fliptop cupboard for the last 2 weeks and now I come across your great video and it has told my design to get lost hahaha A video really well done and the project is amazing, thanks mate!

Thank you. I might start making long form videos again.
hi.
thanks for this, I am planning to build a similar drawer for my table saw. Nice to see someone has gone down this road already
Yep going to build two of these. One for my planner and sander
Was thinking about this the other day.
*not only does my phone listen to me it gets in my brain 🤷♂️
We used to put these rigs in kitchen cabinets for big mixers to pop up to counter height.
A very clever device. BTW, among all the makers I watch on TH-cam you earn the gold medal for being the most meticulous. Congratulations!
I really appreciate it 🙏
This is well thought out and nicely done.
Thanks very much for this! I am building an island in our kitchen. I’m going to use this idea to make a lift for the wife’s food processor. I think she will love it. 🤓
wow what a space saver. Great idea for a small shop, much better than a flip cart.

very well-done video, clear without all the extra "when i was 5 years old back story." I am definitely going to check out more of your videos
Thanks
Great idea, have same wynn sander and was looking for a storage solution, I like this wouldn't have plans would you?
Nice job....
This would be a great idea for the planer as well… great idea!
Thanks!
Thank you 🙏
Wonderful way to store these tools. Thank you for sharing. Everyone stay safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia

That would be perfect for this.
Very clever solution to make the most of your space.
YES!!! This is the solution I've been trying to come up with for the last year. Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you!
This is brilliant, takes up less shop floor space and is very functional.
Thank you 🙏
very well done , i was wondering what to do with my oscillating sander, now i do. thanks great job.
Thank you
This is just what I was looking for I'm building an addition to my shop
Gotta say, one of the best tutorials I have seen. I have been looking to do something like this for a couple years and now I can build it. Thank You
Thank you so much
I love your use of spacers to save time measuring throughout the whole video. Good build, thanks for taking the time to make this!
Thank you 🙏
I learned to do this when I started out in a cabinet shop, and use it as often as possible. Faster and more accurate than marking and measuring (too easy to introduce error when repeating), its a win/win!
Great idea. Will work for my router table
You showed us exactly why we measure twice! A very nice shop feature that I’m likely to copy.
Just found this video. I love this idea. I am in the process of completely building my own shop. I am trying to map out flow. I have been looking at making flip carts, but this idea makes me rethink that. Great job. Thanks.
Slick build. I am impressed how simple the setup is and how flexible it is with the cabinet/table type.
Thank you

I will be adding this design to my workbench. Thank you so much, I really like it.
A great idea. Trying to maximize my space. This will help a lot. Thanks.
I was going to build a flip top, but I like your set up better. Thanks for the idea. Great video.
Might not be what I want for a sander base, but I'm totally gonna use this idea for my router table under my work table. Thank you for this wonderful idea!!

Thank You. I was looking for a way to move a few tools to under my bench. Thanks again for a great video.
This is the :perfect: solution for my setup. Thank you!
Awesome!
That's a great alternative for tool storage. Great job with your video.
Thanks
Thank you! Perfect for my new bench top planer. Should fit perfectly under my miter saw.
Best idea I've seen in a long time! Thanks.

Thank you 🙏
Good idea, never liked the flip top but they save space. This is a better solution for me.
Thank you
This is brilliant for my band saw
This is great, I was looking for an out of the box way of tucking away my tools in my workstation!!!
Thank you!
Thanks for a great idea. I have a Blackstone 22" griddle on a pullout in my outdoor kitchen. The only complaint I have is that it is lower than my counter height. I am going to re design the pullout and incorporate your lift system to bring it to above the counter, a better height for grilling. I will write back with the results.
Cheers
So simple yet so effective and useful. Great build!
Thank you 🙏
Love it. Great idea. I may steal this idea but use a premade small appliance lift.
I have one in my kitchen. This setup is better for a sander IMO.
Great job and fantastic idea! I just started building a base cabinet to store my bench tools in and to have a work surface to use them on.

Thanks for the video and all the detailed instructions. This is a great idea.
Thank you
Loved the way you explained everything!
Keep going man!
Great idea. Thanks for sharing this!
Thank you
Very nicely done!
Thank you
Hands down a better alternative to a flip top horror show. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you 🙏
That is a REALLY cool design! Make me rethink things in my shop re-build that's currently going on. Thanks!
Fantastic design!
Thank you
that's soooooo cool! And what a great idea and easy to recreate. Thanks for the detailed instruction!
Thank you
Thanks so much. You just saved me from a lot of head scratching!
This was exactly what I was looking for, literally for my sanding unit!! Great video and easy to follow. Thanks man!
Another one. I stumbled across this video and it was so good I had to subscribe and I'm thinking about making one for my super small shop.
Great work!
Cool! Thank you!
brilliant solution
Thanks
hell yes!!!!! Absolutely doing this
Great idea and great execution! Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
Thats exactly what I need.. well done.
Thank you
Great idea! going to use this for a few different tools. Thx!
Awesome!
Nice design, thanks for sharing
Thank you.
Great idea! I have the same WEN sander in a small cluttered shop have been looking for a place to accommodate it. I'll definitely be building this system. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome! Thank you.
Excellent project!
Great video Chris and a useful shop storage solution! Really appreciate how you explained what you were doing and why. 👍👍👍
Thanks, I really appreciate it.
I approve of your choice of tool brand.
I’ve had good luck with most of their products.
Great editing and presentation on this cool build! 👍👍👍👍
Thank you 🙏
Awesome making two this week
This is bloody genius!
Thank you
I've also been wanting to do something similar! Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks!
I subscribed as well! I can see your page blowing up quickly with your ingenuity.
A great solution!!! I can see this potentially clearing my scroll saw of the bench surface(great tool but not in ‘everyday’ use) thanks for sharing👍🏼
Thank you. I thought of doing one for a scroll saw that had slightly shorter front legs so it sat at a slight angle. Maybe it could be adjustable so if you wanted it to sit level.
I was considering a flip top, but this looks like a better solution. I'm going to build the same thing. but also add some sort of lock for when its up. Thanks
Was looking for a solution for my wen 6” benchtop jointer! This will be perfect
Just bought this sander last night, coming tomorrow. I think I’m going to do this!!! Might look into drill press and band saw. I’ve got a workbench with a bunch of openings for drawers that I can make into openings for this
I was gunna try the drill press, but decided it was a little heavy for this. Might need some redesigning to make it work better.
Great idea. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you
New to woodworking and this was exactly what I need to do in my small shop! Excellent video and great explanation!
Thank you
Love the design. You are missing the reason why they made flip tops. Storage of multiple units. You have a thickness planer on the other side of the sander, so what are you going to do with your planer?
This could be built into a cart if you wanted. Put the planer on top and have this underneath. That way both tools can be used.
I might do something like this in my kitchen to hide the mixer when not in use. Thanks SO much. Great idea. I appreciate it👍❣️❣️❣️
Hopefully my bench will have this ability. Would love to do this
What a great idea dude! May try this for my shop, cheers 🤙🏻
Thanks! Cheers!
Great idea and great video! I’ve seen others but this is well-designed and well-presented. Definitely the one I’ll be building for a couple of my tools! Thanks for a great vid!!
Thank you 🙏
I love it! I hope you share more woodworking ideas...im building my shop right now and this is definitely going in it!!
Awesome. Thank you 🙏
Great solution. Stops stuff going everywhere unlike a flip out or revolving tool stand. For the drawer under my table saw stand, I angled the drawer slides up a bit to make it self closing. Might work here to keep the sander against the bench.
That’s a good idea. Thanks.
I like the idea of flip top tables but not for all tools! Lol I like this and I wish there were more builds like this.
As an aspiring woodworking, your video spoke to my soul. Thanks ~ ☕️ on me
Thank you 🙏
I've been considering a flip top for quite a awhile, but this seems to be a better solution, and simpler to make also. Thanks for a very clear and understandable video.
Thanks!
Really clever design
