You'll have to wait for drawing(s), since I haven't done them yet.

I'll get you some more pics of the wall hangers soon too.

Here is a single-sheet drawing. It's not too detailed, but it should be enough for you to figure it out.

The PDF is much clearer than the JPG.

onetrack,

Awesome storeage cabinet! Thanks for the pics and plans. I would still love to see how you have your thickness planer hung up. Those brackets are very well made, you could market those!

Nicely done Indeed!!! With the sloping side, the door closes semi-automatically?

A good reason the casters are mounted backwards?

Yes, the door self-closes. Handy.

Not sure what you mean by casters on backwards? All 4 swivel.

Planer is hung on two simple hooks; hung on it's cross-bar.

The next pick is disorienting. Looking down behind the Planer, hung in position.

That's pretty simple. I never thought of doing it that way and it sure takes up a lot less space. Great idea.

'Normally' the casters are mounted so the foot pedals are towards the normal operator side.

So the left one is on the right end and vice versa. ;)

I think JPG is referring to the casters on the Shopsmith, and Onetrack is referring to the casters on the storage unit.
