I saw Shipwright's SPT cart and I had a lot of scrap plywood I needed to get rid of so this is what I came up with. Still need to add drawers at a later date.

Thanks for the design ideas Paul.

Your 'scrap' plywood looks much better than what I find at 'lumber yards'.

Nicely done.

Nice job! I really like your method for storing the 5' long connectors.

Yup, that looks familiar all right. Glad to be of some help / inspiration.
I think what I like most about it is that the planer is at about way tube height so it doesn’t have to be lifted.

Yes, that was the primary design basis for me. That planer gets heavier every year.

Yup. Mine weighs about 150 lbs now. About 100 lbs more than I can move around. That is why mine resides on the Shorty.

That is outstanding mountainbreeze! My only dislike of that design is the jointer is too low. My back doesn't like lifting that thing that high.

Other than that, perfect. Like JPG, nice scrap! LOL

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. :(

I like Dusty's plan better!!!
