Flip-Top Tool Stand
Maximize your shop's floor space by mounting two tools to a mobile stand. Just roll it out of the way when the job is done.
Benchtop tools are great space savers, but they can still fill up a small shop in a hurry. That became clear to me one day when I realized I had more tools than I had benchtops to put them on. So after clearing a small space to do some drawing, I came up with this tool stand. It does double-duty by fl ipping its lid. What makes this stand different from most others is that you can mount a tool on both sides of the top. Then when you want to use a different tool, all you have to do is flip the top 180°.

Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.

Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.


Premium Plans
All of the information that you need to build our plans can be found in the standard plan. However, if you want even more granular detail to make your job easier, you should consider our premium plans. These come with additional shop diagrams that we drew when creating the prototypes. Shop drawings are not available for every plan.
