Tool stands diy

I have designed this simple and small tool stand on caster wheels so you can do a nice upgrade to your workshop. This stand requires basic tools and materials, so anyone can get the job done in one day with minimum effort.

We recommend you to invest in the best materials you could afford. Therefore, you should buy weather-resistant lumber, such as pine or cedar. Always take accurate measurements before adjusting the size of the components at the proper size. Drill pilot holes trough the components before inserting the wood screws, to prevent the wood from splitting.

The first step of the project is to build the frames for the rolling tool stand. Check if the corners are square and align the edges with attention. The next step of the project is to attach the tabletop to the frame of the tool stand. You can either insert screws through the tabletop into the frame, or drill pocket holes through the frame and insert the screws into the benchtop.

I usually paint workshop projects. Cut 6 pieces of wood to length for the top. Apply glue to the edges and clamp. I moved on to Step 2 while the glue was drying. Cut 4 pieces of wood to length for the legs. Cut 4 pieces of wood to length for the rails and drill pocket holes in each end. To help position the bottom rail I cut 2 pieces of scrap wood to length. I clamped the scrap wood to the bottom of each leg. Cut 5 pieces of wood to length for the rails and drill pocket holes in each end.

Then I joined the first leg assembly with the side rails to the second leg assembly. Again, to help position the bottom rail I used pieces of scrap wood cut to length. I clamped the scrap wood to the bottom of the leg.

Apply glue to the end of the bottom rail and clamp. I used a speed square to help keep the rails square to the leg assembly.

Apply glue to the top rail, position flush with the top of the leg assembly, and clamp. Apply glue to the ends of the side rails, position the first leg assembly on the second leg assembly, and clamp. Apply glue to the ends of the stretcher from Step 3 center on the long rails and clamp. Use the diagram in the printed plan to lay out the locations for the table top fasteners.
