I don't have room for Dusty's plan.

When it gets to the point that I can move the jointer, I surely won't be able to move the planer either. Then it will be time move on to some other hobby.

Didn't mean to throw disparage on the project if that is the way you took it ... Just making an observation. I am working on a light jib boom arrangement for lifting and positioning both the planer and the jointer. I don't really have a problem yet, but I know it it coming ... LOL

I am sure Shipwright could help thee with that!

No, no, no. No disparagement taken. I just know that one day I will no longer be able to lift any of the SPTs and I will have to move on to something different. Although, I like the idea of a jib boom to delay the occurrence of that time.

I really like your storage!!

I just can't lift the band saw or jointer anymore to clear the posts. I thought I would post my answer which nothing to do with woodworking but it may inspire someone as a temporary fix. Works for me also I don't have room for your splendid answer.
