Here are a couple of pictures of a cart I'm making to house some Special Purpose Tools -- Bandsaw, Belt Sander, Jointer, and Strip Sander. It's patterned after Shipwright's model -- Thanks for the idea Paul M.
I just need to add a bit of finish.
The base is 24" x 36" and made from 2x4s joined at the four corners by half lap joints. The rest is made of 3/4" birch plywood -- used a bit over a full sheet and about half a sheet of 1/4" birch plywood. The three-drawer cabinet is 20" wide by 24" high. The Cherry drawer fronts are about 14", 6" and 4" high, with the drawer boxes sized accordingly to fit using 22" KV-type drawer slides. The drawer boxes also are 3/4 birch ply fronts, backs and sides, with 1/4" birch ply bottoms. The drawer parts were all glued together for strength. The back of the cabinet also is 1/4" birch ply.
I used birch banding to cover the edges of the plywood, attaching it with white glue and an iron for setting the glue.
Now I just need to get rid of some things in the shop (tools) so I'll be able to roll the cart somewhere.
