My new planer just arrived, and carpentry law states that I have to build a flip top. I don't want to, but that's the law. This is the best set up I've seen so far. Well done Sir! I know you don't have plans, but if you did I think a LOT of people would purchase. Hint hint nudge nudge
This is an incredible build.. I have a few tools in the running to be on a new flip cart build (pillar drill, mitre saw, planer and bench grinder) but having now seen this - I am going to roll with the mitre saw and planer as the integrated outfeeds fixes the whole conundrum of levelling it with my main bench... top build sir thanks for sharing!
"Like a budgie I could watch this swing around for the rest of the day". Absolutely loved that and the other comments you had in there. Mate, after watching this I'm now re-planning on my work bench plans to leave out the compound mitre saw and make this instead. Thanks for putting this out there for us all.
Just finished my flip cart last week. Its for my Rigid sander and Dewalt planer, so no folding extension tables. Mine turned out good and works great. But yours is better; best one I've seen on TH-cam. Thanks.
"Using my stomach as a third hand..."😄 "Then I procrastinated for half-a-day deciding whether to install on inside or outside of the frame..." You're so relatable! Thanks for these great ideas. It's clear that your final product is not only beautiful but also fit to last. I love the idea of using bearings and also like the built-in stops you created. I was tempted to rewind and quote every funny quip you made, but I decided to take your instruction and stop procrastinating. Thank you - for the guidance and the laughs!
I'm just about to build mine, so I've been glued to TH-cam. This is by far the best build I've seen. You've fixed all the flaws I've noted in other plans: locking mechanism, stop blocks, in/outfeeds, bearings ... Thanks from a fellow colonial!
Being in the US, about 12 hours off you, mate, means i can watch your videos all DAY long. Anyway, what a bloody brilliant piece if work, and inspiring. I'm looking to build one for mitre/table saw. Wish me luck.
Great build… most of all I like the automatic latching system for the flip top! I’m about to improve my workbench which includes a flip top mitre saw station, and I’ll definitely be copying that 😊😊
I was thinking, I’d love to be a fly on the wall in your shop, there’s so much I could learn! Then I thought, the next best thing would be to subscribe! So that’s what I did.
This is 150% what I was looking for! Just bought a planer and saw a DIY on how to build a planer stand. Then I thought, "what about a flip stand", then, "what about a flip stand for a mitre AND planer", then I thought, "what about a flip stand with feeder table for mitre and planer".... the algorithms read my mind.
That's so good, I glad this may help. If I had my time again I would double up on the thickness of the two side panels, that's only a minor improvement. good luck bro.
As @ironCreekSW26 said, I also have been glued to the videos of other woodworkers and their version of a flip-top cart. I see so many things in your design that are over the top from other designs. Thanks for taking the time to show off your great skills. I had intended to build a bench with my Miter Saw attached, but you simply showed me I don't need to waste a whole bench for that tool, and that makes me smile 😁. As I finish my new workshop I will add your design to my build plans. I look forward to digging through your designs. Cheers - Lowell
I quit. That is the best flip cart I have ever seen. I made one but now I have to start all over. Damnit anyway! You could sell plans for this for $99.95 each. I quit.
Some great ideas that I will incorporate into solving my problem. I need to create a flip top for my sliding miter saw but in a fixed bench, not mobile. The reason is it shares the bench with my radial saw and they both have major depth differences from the fence to the wall. So, when I occasionally need to use the radial saw I can flip the miter saw down out of the way. The challenge will be keeping the MS flush with the workbench when in use and still have a functioning dust collection system. Note that the MS will be primary and used most of the time, the radial saw will be occasional use, ie. Dado work.
First I thought the bent bar for the locking mechanism was needless aesthetics, till I saw how it worked: genius! Nice work. I have a sliding miter saw that sticks out everywhere, so other designs won't work. I think your cart design will handle all the lanky stick-out pieces. Thanks for this!
This is the 1st auto locking flip top I've seen, so simple and practical, beautiful! Other details like the stops and bearings make this video (and the cart itself) stand out in a "crowd" of DIY flip top videos. The folding "wings" are also a nice addition for a space saving cart, although in my experience with folding tables, this design starts to "play" a little after a while. Since you've posted the video more than 6 months ago, I'd be happy to hear how it's been working for you. Thank you for this video.
Cheers bro, my table has been used quite a lot and I am more than happy with the way it has stood up. Good quality heavy duty piano hinge seems to have work nicely .
This is a great video; your instructions are clear and all processes are well-shot. I really like your approach to this project too and appreciate the grinder-turning in lieu of using a lathe. A small criticism though: avoid the passive voice in your narration. YOU did all these things and you can afford to be proud of it!
Very nice - I am studying videos and looking to make a flip cart for my drill press and miter saw. I watched another that had a sliding surface so that the flip cart (table) could be wall mounted. I am going to combine that with a lot of features from your design. You have inspired me to get started! On your cart, I really like the self locking feature, your use of bearings rather than pipe on wood friction fit, and the stop blocks for the rotation (great ideas). You also held my interest for your entire video (I find myself skipping ahead on most videos) so your content was perfect.
Absolutely love the design. So many of the ideas I've had, but actually put in place. You have definitely saved me some headaches in the future. Also, I love the humor and hope that your channel blows up!
Very nicely done, and a great video! I will steal the locking mechanism. Thank you for investing the time to make this video, it really helped me to design my own flip table. I will start building it this weekend.
Hey, I am collecting alot of build videos to pick and choose for my new shop (first one) and would love to hear you say that there are plans for this beautiful work of art. The video was fantastic and very understandable. Many on the Tube aren't always as clear as yours. Great job. Keep putting the videos out.
Excellent video! Great concept/design/execution, perfect pace, clarity, and level of detail in the instructions, and flawless editing. I wish all YT videos were like yours. Subbed.
I love this and may attempt something similar. I say similar because I often take my mitersaw to remote job sites, so I will make a base that is similar to the bosch stand it sits on for quick changes.
Hey RJ, Wondering where you got off too! Very nice flip top, the auto lock mechanism is clever and strong. As usual we'll done. Of course your shop is too clean (I've got that same kinda OCD) and my back still aches from watching you wrestle that planer into place. ouch.
That looks really brilliant. I was just thinking out how to make this exact piece and searched for flip carts. Couldn't really find any with the mitre saw and planer like I wanted, and voila! There comes this video. Great job!
This is the flip cart I was looking for. The orientation of the planer to also use the feed supports along with the saw is what nailed it for me. Please, PLEASE, for everyone here (but mostly me), can you post in a single comment here, at least the dimensions of the main big pieces? Inches or cm, either way, but anything at all would be helpful. I'm probably wrong here, but guessing close to 92x76 cm (~ 36x30 inches) for the platform and sides. But just the big parts would be very helpful. Thanks for a great idea and build video!
Nice build!! You gave me some inspiration to start building my own. Going to use it for my miter saw fold away and nothing on the other side. Dont have that many machines yet and could use it as an extension table when its all flat at the top. :) Haha, was just about to ask if you had shares in a screw manufacturing company, when you noted yourself you drilled way too many holes :) Love the Jorgeson clamps btw.. Here in Netherlands I could only buy the maller 300/50mm ones. Hope the larger ones will be available one day. Very good and practicle clamps!
May be the best flip cart I've seen on TH-cam
Wow thanks mate.
My new planer just arrived, and carpentry law states that I have to build a flip top. I don't want to, but that's the law. This is the best set up I've seen so far. Well done Sir! I know you don't have plans, but if you did I think a LOT of people would purchase. Hint hint nudge nudge

“Using my stomach as a third hand” is now a permanent phrase I use to give directions
Very good, thanks for watching.
Stomach leverage and tip toes are a necessity when you are a little shrimp like me. Now that I am 70, even more so.
This is an incredible build.. I have a few tools in the running to be on a new flip cart build (pillar drill, mitre saw, planer and bench grinder) but having now seen this - I am going to roll with the mitre saw and planer as the integrated outfeeds fixes the whole conundrum of levelling it with my main bench... top build sir thanks for sharing!

Thanks , let us know how your build goes.
agree 100%!
Why are bearings necessary? I'd like to build this one day but wouldn't a rod do the same thing without the bearings?
Dude your narration was gold
Noice table too. Jealous
Thanks champ.
Being in the US, about 12 hours off you, mate, means i can watch your videos all DAY long.
Anyway, what a bloody brilliant piece if work, and inspiring. I'm looking to build one for mitre/table saw. Wish me luck.

Just downsized from a pole barn to a garage. Space is all of the sudden an issue. This is the best flip cart I've seen. Excellent job.
Thankyou so much.
Wow, you did an excellent job. Great build, video quality, and humor. Keep it up.
Thanks champ.
Some extra ideas here. Thanks- I can watch TH-cam vids all night long so appreciate your short & sweet approach 😅
Thanks heaps.
You are. A world class engineer at this level.
You are to kind, thankyou.

A great combination of tool setup. Really enjoyed the build and your humour is quite interesting 🧐. Thanks for the video and commentary ❤
Thanks champ.
Love the build, and really love the subtle humor. Great job!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The best cart that have seen till today Big Well Done
Thanks mate.
Can’t decide if the build or your sense of humor is better. Subscribed.
Thanks bud.
A great build, makes my flip cart look very shabby ,thanks for posting from Garry in the UK
Thankyou, as long as your cart works and your creating all is good.
I quit. That is the best flip cart I have ever seen. I made one but now I have to start all over. Damnit anyway! You could sell plans for this for $99.95 each. I quit.
Thanks mate
Probably the best one I’ve seen well done
Thanks mate.
Great vid. Loved the commentary,especially the comment about using your gut as a third hand! I can relate. Cheers brom
Thanks champ.
Best flip cart video ever. That thing is super clean and looks absolutely amazing! Can't wait to start on mine soon!
OH Thanks, let us know how it turns out, good luck.

I just searched flip top miter station, and yours was the only one to pop up. This is the exact idea i had. Great job!
Thanks mate.
Great job. I’ve had a miter saw and just bought a planer. I really like this idea for my small garage shop. You’ve got a new subscriber.
Thank you very much!
RJ, this build is outstanding, I may give a shot, thank you.
Thanks, go for it, all the best.
First I thought the bent bar for the locking mechanism was needless aesthetics, till I saw how it worked: genius! Nice work. I have a sliding miter saw that sticks out everywhere, so other designs won't work. I think your cart design will handle all the lanky stick-out pieces. Thanks for this!

Very nice video, and creative. I like the snap rods idea very cool.
Thanks mate.
This is the most well-thought-out design I have seen. This positively earned a subscribe and like! Thanks for this!
No no, thanks you.
One of the best I’ve seen. Good job
Thanks heaps, glad you enjoyed it.
Just found this video, brilliant build mate! It's good to see a new and creative flip top design, now I need to rethink how I want to build mine.
I hope it turns out great.
I have watched a ton of these builds. Your idea to lock the top in position is my favorite. Great job
Thanks mate.
Nice work. I really like some of the little things that you've added to raise this cart up a notch from others. - Chris
Thanks, always trying to make it as user friendly as possible.
This is the 1st auto locking flip top I've seen, so simple and practical, beautiful!
Other details like the stops and bearings make this video (and the cart itself) stand out in a "crowd" of DIY flip top videos.

Great job mate!
Thanks champ.
Great build, superb detail.
Love the procrastinating for half a day for internal or external. We have all been there. 😊
Its all part of the deal, thanks for watching.
Best video on this cart! Thank you for the moving effort
Thanks champ, glad you enjoyed it.

A small criticism though: avoid the passive voice in your narration. YOU did all these things and you can afford to be proud of it!
Thanks so very much, I am know researching what a passive voice is, haha. Thanks heaps.
Excellent! Really do appreciate the very efficient video editing.
Thanks, my video editing needs a lot of work.
Very inspirational, I have a small, shared workspace and being economical with space is extremely important. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching.
Came for the build therapy, subscribed for the deadpan humor
Thanks mate.
Very impressive! 🥇
Thanks mate.
Very nice build. I’m looking to build one for my planer and miter saw. I will definitely incorporate ideas from your build. Great job.
Thanks mate.
Very nice job on the flip cart.
Thanks bud.
I'm getting ready to build one of these. I'll need to remember to use the snotty goop!! :) Well done!!
Thanks .All great craftsman use good quality snotty goop.
So glad to see another one of your videos. Great to see your shop finally taking shape. Well done
Glad you enjoyed it, more to come, thanks.
Beauty. I was wondering how I could use pillow bearings with water pipe. Thanks for the short and sweet vid.
No probs, enjoy.
Bravo! Come mai hai così pochi iscritti? Bravo veramente.
Thankyou, only just starting out.
Great Table !!!
Thanks mate.
Great locking,catch

Great presentation, easy to follow and understand, and definitely a project worthy of any small shop where space is at a premium.
Thanks champ.
So inspirational such a good idea
Thanks heaps
Excellent - Creative and skilled ! BRAVO
Thanks.
Nicely done! I like the bearing and pipe idea with the planner going in the same directions as the foldable wings. Can't wait to try this on my own!
Nice, let us know how it turns out. Thanks for watching.
Wow! I had discounted these setups as too unstable. Your video and setup has changed my mind!
Awesome, thanks I hope ya give it a go.
VERY NICE work BROTHER. THANKS
Thanks mate.
Love this idea! Great job!
Thanks mate.
Excellent design!
Thanks champ.
Seen many of these builds on youtube, your's is unique and the best. Bravo.
Thanks so much bro.
I didn't want to build one of these before I watched your video, but now I do. Great work and nice shop!
If you go ahead let us know how the build turns out. Thanks for jumping on board.
That is a awesome build
Thanks
Very nicely done RJ. This is the one I’ve been looking for to put in my shop. Thank you so much for sharing this.😊
That's great, hope it all goes well.
Brilliant! Great job, great commentary. Just subscribed 👍

Awesome build mate top stuff !!
Thanks bud, glad you enjoyed.
I love this and may attempt something similar. I say similar because I often take my mitersaw to remote job sites, so I will make a base that is similar to the bosch stand it sits on for quick changes.
Thanks, great idea to have it interchangeable.
😊very good design.
Thanks mate.
Hey RJ,
Wondering where you got off too! Very nice flip top, the auto lock mechanism is clever and strong. As usual we'll done.
Of course your shop is too clean (I've got that same kinda OCD) and my back still aches from watching you wrestle that planer into place. ouch.
OCD in a workshop is a great advantage. My little stomach comes in handy when lifting a heavy load. Thanks for watching.
Nice work mate.
Cheers bud, thanks.
I paid $15 for an average flip top cart plans and this is 10x better than that. Please make some plans for this one. This is exactly what I need.
Thanks mate, if I knew how to do decent plans I would.
Au top
À bientôt
Thankyou.
That looks really brilliant. I was just thinking out how to make this exact piece and searched for flip carts. Couldn't really find any with the mitre saw and planer like I wanted, and voila! There comes this video. Great job!
Thanks hope it helps, let us know if you build one, good luck.
Great build!
I'm glad you like it
Great job mate.
Thanks bro.
good job Mate
Thanks champ.
This is the flip cart I was looking for. The orientation of the planer to also use the feed supports along with the saw is what nailed it for me. Please, PLEASE, for everyone here (but mostly me), can you post in a single comment here, at least the dimensions of the main big pieces? Inches or cm, either way, but anything at all would be helpful. I'm probably wrong here, but guessing close to 92x76 cm (~ 36x30 inches) for the platform and sides. But just the big parts would be very helpful. Thanks for a great idea and build video!
I will get back to you soon with some dimensions soon. Thanks for watching.
Turn Table HxLxW 120 x 730 x 600 , Carcass 760 x 900 x 600 , Wings 100 x 730 x 500 mm. That is without the castors. good luck bro.
