Some noteworthy features are: washers, hinges, pivot rod, gasket punch are all shop-made, thus economy of construction is realized. Using just 2 rigid casters and a tow-bar for placement, this unit is as stable as a tombstone, yet floats across the shop floor when stored against a wall. The video is a journal of the build, only moderate skill is needed to reconstruct.

[Bart Nadeau]

Nice video. Nice Borodin too.

[HANK METZ]

Thanks Aaron, yours was the first in fact!

Nice video. Nice Borodin too.

I figure if they can use him in a turkey if a movie- "Fire Maidens From Outer Space" (1956) that gets riffed by MST 3K, I can use him in a woodworking video.
Thanks Bart.

Well Jeff, the final wrap party with cast and crew was a blowout- just basically me and a bottle of Welch's grape juice- but the vids are always fun to make!

Thanks for posting this Hank. Great economical and functional design and execution. And your video put a big smile to my face!

Outstanding in both areas

A lot of people have wondered about a replacement for Norm.

Ta da!!!

Instead of flannel shirts and blue jeans, it's hawaiian shirts and baggies.

Gotta love it.

Most excellent, both the flip top and the video.

Thanks
