Project - Build a quick and easy stand for your shop tools

In this video I show you how I made a stand for my bandsaw out of 4 - 2x4's.

Watch me put wheels on it here!

Awesome video. It's not only a great design, you give dimensions, details, what tools were used and give a clear step by step description. This is the "Gold Standard" of DIY videos.

I built one of these today, and it is solid as a granite block. Bandsaw is sitting on it now, and I plan to build several of these stands, for drill press, grinder, jointer, maybe router table. Some of your techniques made this one go together easily, and the first time I set it on the floor, it did not wobble at all. I plan to put wheels on this one before permanently mounting the bandsaw.

Excellent idea for drill press an smaller bench top tools, with or without wheels. Thank you!

Great shop stand, I made two of these at the weekend, very easy, very sturdy and you can make them whatever size you need. I hardly had to measure a thing. - Thanks for the design and demo.

Thanks for posting this. Nice and straightforward. I'm so glad you included the angles.

Thank you! Watch for a follow up video next week. I added wheels and a handle to be able to move it around easily.

Great looking and functional stand! I'll be making 2 of these I think this weekend. One for my Ryobi band saw and another for my Delta 12" drill press. Thanks for the video. And sorry I'm the first person to comment in 6 years. ☺️

Nice. Simple, sturdy and very presentable. Those pocket holes add to the professional look. Thanks for posting.

I just bought a new to me Craftsman 21400 band saw and stumbled across your stand. This seems like the way to go. Pretty excited to use the saw, very hard to find these days too. Your stand should make it great.

I am 5'5" tall and I bought a harbor freight universal stand to put m table saw on.... Come to find out when I placed the table saw on top of the stand the saw was chest high on just a wee bit TOO high for proper Now thanks to u I can now build one to the height I need  THANK

[ThePapabear]

I bought your worksheet plan and made it tonight and go figure my garage floor isnt perfect level lol so I had to shim it I'm prob gonna throw some casters on it now for easy portability and help with leveling it out

It is a Kreg pocket hole Jig and you can buy them at Home Depot, Lowes, and Rockler just to name a few places. The kit I got came with the jig, the special drill bit, a square head bit for the screws, a DVD on how to use it, and a bunch of different size pocket screws for different thicknesses of lumber. It was right around $100 and worth every penny!

Awesome strong stand. I made one for my drill press and table saw and anything else I want to put on it.
