The "Tim-Will-Lift"

[big tim]

My version of the "herc-u-lift". After HD in my area quoted me $194Can. for the herc-u-lift, I decide to make my own version for my BT3000. I used MDF, 4, 3" swivel casters from Lee Valley(4.20 each, HD wanted 8.48 for 2.5" casters) 1/4 x 20 nuts, bolts, washers etc, and a screen door catch.

That's the slickest design of that type I've seen, Tim. Very clever.

Nice work.

How much would shipping of the "Tim-Will-Lift" be to Virginia?

[Jaden]

Where were you and your idea when I spent 37 hours putting the herc-u-lift together. This is both a simple and brilliant design, I know what my next mobile tool cart will be on, beautiful work, great idea.

That's........not right........

You can't just go and design something like that on your own and have it come out looking that good and that finished and actually have it work like you wanted to.

Every single time I think I'm learning and progressing someone comes along to remind me what a newbie I am...........lol

And yes, if you're sharing plans / dims for that, I'd like a copy ! My BT3100 base is now the base for my router table so I'd love to give that idea a try.

That's great Tim. Stick this in Finished Projects where it will get more attention. AND, quickly send it to several WW mags, you're sure to win something!

Tim It does look great. And like Everyone has said, It Works. Bill

Nice Job Tim and great idea. I know what you mean about Home Depot and their prices!!!

BTW, where in Scarborugh are you? Love to come and see the lift in person (and copy it of course). I am at Steeles and 404.

[MilDoc]

Nice! OK, NOW post complete plans, cutting diagrams, parts lists, and instructions so we can copy it.....

I'm still too much of a newbie with zero visual coordination and planning skills to see what you did from your post!

Aw shucks guys, you make me blush!
But, Ken, is there a simple way of potentially transferring this to Finished Projects? I wouldn't mind doing that and I will add some drawings to it at the same time

[MilDoc]

Ken -- please answer. Or anyelse.

big tim --- please!

[Pappy]

The best thing would be to get it added to the articles section. That way it is permanent. Good design, Tim.

Awesome design, Tim! I had just posted a WTB for a Herc-U-Lift when I saw this thread. Thanks for sharing.

I think I can work off the pic, but it would be great if you could add some construction details. As Paul said: "Please!"

[jabe]

Great design! Just what I need for my BT 3000. I'll be looking forward to seeing your plans. Again good job Tim!

The Mods maybe can do a move. If not, start a new thread.
