I have been wanting to make one of these for a long time. This looks great!  Did you have a pattern or did you wing it?

I could probably figure it out without a plan but it would be much easier with one.

Has anyone ever made a cabinet housing many table top tools that rotate  with a motor? It is hard to explain but it would work kind of like an old watch display cabinet. I am still trying to figure out just how it would work rotating each tool at the right level.

My shop is very tiny and getting smaller each time I get something new.

It does ok but you do get a little bit of snipe on the last inch or two of board. You might want to look at some other brands and maybe spend a little more.

Hi Terry, I see that you a royobi planer mouted to the table, What do think about the royobi planer, I like the price but I'm afraid of some of the reviews I read.

Hi Terry ... I'll echo Terry Jacobs' query; if/when you have a plan that you're willing to share, do drop a line to all of us here. This little baby would work very well in my garage-based shop.

Hey Geoff the table is made from 3/4 plywood for stabilty and the pivot is a 1'' wood dowel. I used Kreg joints to hold the cabinet together.

yes Ray the eye bolt swivel around and lock and unlock the table top. This table works really well.

Really a great idea, are they eye bolts that u are using to hold the top in place

I agree...i'd like to get an idea of how you made that top and still kept her solid enough to work on.

 

Great work

There is really no weight to it. It seems to distribute it evenly.
