Similar idea although not sure I would want to only sandwich 2 sheets of ply. The design of mine has 2 x 1/2" thick HW frames (sort of torsion box) snugged up against the 1/2" steel rod and then sandwiched by two 3/4" thick panels. The edges have 3/4 maple which the rod also fits through before being epoxied into the 1" thick maple side supports.

Very nice, I built one of these last year using the same diagram. I made an error in that I measured the height of the planer and made sure it was going to be tall enough for it, which it is, but I did not account for the diagonal distance when you are flipping the top, so I now have a nice stand that cannot flip. But it is easier to user the planer, so at least it is still usable.I love lamp.Comment

I finished the next stage of this re-org project today. I built a stand to fit into an alcove so it is at the same height as the mobile stand. My DP sits on a simple base and can be used in the alcove for small items and slides onto the mobile base when I need to use it with bigger pieces.
Next job is a DP table. Be finished soon and can get back to actually building somethingJon

Thats a slick IdeaComment

Thanks Sarge, as my shop has to do double duty as a garage and our 2 cars live in it when I am not working in there I clean it up after every use. Its also why I am getting creative on space usage. I have plenty when I am working but i can only use the perimeter to actually store the tools so hence a mobile base strategy.Jon
