That is exactly what I need... I've a planer, jointer and bandsaw...
I see the bandsaw is mounted on the Shopsmith... holder. The Jointer is sitting in holes drilled in the wood. How's the planer mounted?
I'm guessing, a short box for the bottom, casters underneath.
A box with drawers on top of that, space next to it for the bandsaw.
A pair of holes in the top to hold the jointer.
And... what for the planer?
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Accessory Storage
The planer just sits on the two plywood webs that stand above the rest, just as if they were the way tubes. There are stops to prevent sliding it on too far. It is just about the same height as the way tubes so no lifting or lowering.
The "box end" has fixed casters and the bandsaw end has swivel casters. The top of the bandsaw makes a great cart handle.

Re: Accessory Storage
Hello again,
Getting ready to start on this, and I'm looking for a bit more detail...
The base seems to be...maybe 1*3 pine around the sides with a top of... 3/8 or 1/2 inch plywood. Some blocks inside the corners for the casters.
The box is top, sides and back (and bottom?) of the same plywood, with a ... 2 inch? strip across the top front. How is it attached, I don't see screws, is it just glued?
And how to attach the box to the base? If there's a bottom, the bottom and base can be screwed together. If there's not a bottom, can one screw up through the base into the edges of the sides and back?
On the top of the box, there seems to be two verticals with a cross piece in the middle and a piece on the top for the planer to rest on. Again the same plywood? Glued, or glued and screwed?
The two drawers are presumably basic five sided boxes, same plywood? Some cleats to guide the drawers?
I was also thinking of making the drawers narrower, leaving a gap on either side, cutting a wide slot in each side, into which one could put the saw blade and sanding disc, even with the arbors attached.
Thank you for your consideration.

Re: Accessory Storage
Or maybe the support for the planer is a simple box. The top with slots cut in for the planer's ... clamps. And the sides only going up half-way.

Re: Accessory Storage
I like 3/4" plywood for this kind of thing. It's a couple of thousand miles away right now so I will go by memory and say that it is likely all 3/4" plywood with 2X4 framing on the bottom. It will all be glued up, likely with hot hide glue because that's what I use but pva will do. The casters came from the cheap furniture dollies that HF sells all the time. Two are fixed and two swivel so it can be steered. It likely has 3/4" square gluing cleats in the box corners and likely screws into the edge plywood as well as the glue. The pw won't split if you drill first.
Dimensions and layout can vary to suit your tools but the top rack for the planer is nice because it is roughly the same height as the way tubes so no lifting. The planer support is described a couple of posts back.
