    VERY clever idea, especially for small shops

    I love this guy's system workshop and he just posted a new video with a really clever shop accessory/cart. Thought you all might be interested:

    It looks like he is selling plans for it as well.

    Thanks for posting - very ingenious design and well thought out. Looks like something one of the big manufacturers should come out with, and pay him for the intellectual property.

    He had me hooked when he adjusted the height.
    Thanks for posting this Brian.

    If only I had room to roll such a thing around. Very clever setup indeed. I notice he has more than one.

    Already got the plans!

    What a shop. He's got some other good videos.

    I use my rolling carts all the time for such purposes. Some of those functions are very clever. Rather than incorporating them into one unit, however, it seems it would be much less complicated, less expensive, less heavy to roll around and just as convenient, to simply make add-on jigs for specific functions.

    Very interesting with its multi-functions. Terrific shop he has there.

    Very clever - wish I had room.
    Rustic? Well, no. That was not my intention!

    Amazing batch of work. I for the life of me cant phathom a for-profit shop (other than high art/boutique work) in the US that could afford the time it would take to construct and maintain that overall shop. Envious of working in a space like that but in 30 years I just dont see how to get there and keep the dollars flowing. Wow.

    Looks like a big Festool gadget to me. I like Festool I have the domino and a router. The shop is too clean and newish looking for me to believe it's real.

    Very clever, but no room for it in my current shop. And what a shop he has, filled with great machines. Very Euro looking. Oh, the envy.

    If I remember right, it's only a year or so old, I seem to remember watching a couple of videos a while back where he built it.

    He's located in Belgium, so maybe that makes the economics a bit different than here. Also, Brian is right - his shop is relatively new. I don't know if this means anything but he has 47k subscribers on YouTube, which must earn him something. I, too, am very envious of his shop.
