Rolling Tool Cart / Planer Stand DIY

How to make a rolling tool cart.  I am using this as a rolling planer stand.  Building a tool cart doesn't have to be hard or complicated if you want something simple and cheap.  This really is a cheap tool cart, coming in at around $45 for materials.  This makes a great DW735x planer stand. This is a simple DIY tool cart that anyone can build.  A great way to add tool storage to your shop is to build a tool storage cart like this.   This is an easy tool cart to build.  Obviously there are fancier carts than this.  However, if you want an inexpensive tool cart, this is the way to go.  I used 7/16" OSB as my decking and 2x4's for the structure.  You can use plywood if you wanted a cleaner look to your utility cart.  Check the links below for the supplies, tool cart plans and tools used in this build.  This rolling tool cart is easy to move around the shop and will keep tools stored off the floor.  Being able to easily store my planer on this cart will be so convienent.  This planer cart will hold the 735x planer without any issues.  If you want to build a DW735X planer cart like this, let me know in the comments below.  You can use this as a drill press cart, band saw cart, or any number of tools.  Affiliate links below.

How funny is to see you and your workshop 4 years ago. congratulations for all your work

I heard that brother! I'm 62 years old and I've had my DW735 since they came out. I love it, but that thing is a beast to move, even when I was younger and stronger. A dedicated mobile stand is the way to go!

With my little 8x12 shop, I put 10 inch pneumatic tires on mine so I could roll it out in the yard.Great build!

I looks at these videos and I see how much progress you've made. Your a big influence in my journey to become a better woodworker. Proud of you bro!

I still don't have shop furniture in the new shop... I will make one of these Sunday. Maybe three - planer, spindle sander and router table!

Man, even your simple, throw-together projects come out looking so professional. Mine look like a 5 year old drew the plans with a crayon... Thanks, as always, for sharing!

I need a new shop cart so I have been looking at various videos here on YouTube. It is really great to see how much you have grown as a presenter of your various woodworking topics. You seem so much more relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera now. As others have said, you just seem like the kind of guy that you would like to go to a Restaurant, have a nice meal with and talk shop. I have no doubt you will reach your goal of 1 million subscribers before you know it.

Just got rid of a bunch of scrap and made myself a nice lil cart for my planer. Thanks!

[tonymicheli]

Just bought a used jointer and planer. I was thinking about something like this for them. Thanks.

[seanhayes]

With that simple design, you could easily encase the stand for covered storage. Nice job!!

[poppopwalker]

Noice!! Been looking for an easy cheap and fast way to build a cart for my planer. Thank you sir!

[johnhisley]

Thanks for your video. This will be my first project come January 23!! LW... I will be looking for more simple ideas as I begin to build my work shop. Thanks

[janiesmith]

Hey buddy! I’m loving the simplicity of the table! I’m planning on one each per equipment, ie planer, belt/disc sander, table saw, and router. Thank you!

I bought all my Craig's tools about 6 years ago never used them, life got in the way! Looking forward to getting back into it glad I found your channel!✌💞💥

[justinthomas]

Love this tool cart, I’ve built 3 of em so far. Thanks again!

[glenschumannGlensWorkshop]

Thanks. I will need to build several rolling tool carts this coming fall. This may be the simplest method I have see so far.

Just built this to put my planer on and my sander. Been meaning to do it for a while and finally have a project I need it for. The ripped 2x4 felt a little weak but I was also about to run out of long enough pieces anyway so the rip came in handy. Put a full 2x4 as a cross brace on the bottom shelf too to make me feel better, but again the top was really the important one because the planer is so heavy. I used 3/4 plywood instead of OSB which is probably a little sturdier. I climbed up on it and shook it (and I'm about 240lbs) and it felt rock solid. I just used pocket holes without glue in case I ever want to take it apart to modify a bit in the future.

Wow just watched the router stand video which referred to this one. Matt your channel has gone so far since this video! A true inspiration my friend!

[vincentdeleonjr]

thank you for your description and clear simple build

[bobmoore]

Thanks much for this video. I followed your review of the planer, and mine arrived yesterday. I first thought about making the cart to where I could put a removable top on it, above the planer top, to stand in as an extension table for my saw, but found that the planer table would be too low to function well. I'll give this a shot and make it like you did. Since I don't have the pocket hole jig, I'm going to use half laps. That requires different 2x4 dimensions, but not a thing at all. Oh, for some of your viewers, OSB is Oriented Strand Board, and as you say, just glued up wood chips.
