Where was the source that you got them? I would have a perfect spot for storing it when not needed.The under mount Shopsmith cabinet seems like it would put alot of weight on it for moving.
I think I must have referenced someone else's post. I haven't built my upright cabinets yet and I am still working on the first one's design. there have been some good ones posted here.
give us a pointer to the upright cabinet and let's sort this out, please.

While I am a newbie to both woodworking and Shopsmith, I like the undercabinet for the small items (blades, arbors, gouges, etc.) and I like an upright or something taller to place bandsaw, jointer, belt sander and etc. On my big tool dolly, I put on casters that swivel and lock. And, I can move it to the end of the SS to move the tool to or from the tool dolly. While I may have overbuilt, I used 2 X 12's. So when I need to move one of the attachments it is not where I have to bend over or squat to lift or replace. Just some thoughts that may help others who are thinking of doing something like this. Happy dusting.
I don't have a set of plans, but i'm attaching a picture of the set of drawers I made to fit under my SS. If you were interested, I'd be more than happy to make a drawing with dimensions etc. Not sure if this is the type of thing you were looking for. They hold all the tools and attachments i use regularly, since i upgraded the wheels the SS still moves quite easily.

I like your idea better than the plans where the unit hangs from the tubes. Your design looks simple compared to the others. If you have more photos to add that would be great
