As promised, here is the project I just (basically) completed.
This idea and execution was borrowed from a guy named Lance in Oklahoma. He has a channel on YouTube and is a member of LJ and FOG. The construction is 2-thick 3/4" plywood on all surfaces. The top and bottom shelf are in a shallow dado set into the sides. The top rides on a 3/4" rod that sits in bushings that were set into the sides. The trim is 1/8" maple that didn't turn out so well.
I may at some point convert it into a solid top depending on how much I use my sander. I have to remove the planer extension tables plus the dust collection adapter to get it to flip. I also have to remove the sander drum and top knob (that's the issue) for it to clear the shelf when flipped. I accounted for the spindle, however the knob and the ability for the spindle to rise (or fall when inverted) takes away that clearance.
It's also pretty big, bigger than I anticipated at around 22.25" deep and 29" or so wide.
Oh well, it's done, minus the drawer that will hold the spindle washers, extension tables and any tools.
