Here is the tool cart I built for all things wood turning.
I built the case and drawer boxes from 3/4″ cabinet grade plywood with 1/4″ luan for the drawer bottoms and the case’s back. I used pocket drilling to assemble the majority of the case and drawer boxes. No, I didn’t buy the Kreg jig…I made one. Maybe I’ll explain that in a future post.
I bought 18″ full extension drawer slides off Ebay. I also bought in bulk since I’m planning to add some drawers to my workbench. The handles and casters I picked up at local hardware stores.
Helpful Hint: While doing projects like this, don’t forget to check out the clearance and bargain bins. I was lucky and found just enough handles on clearance for this project.
You can probably recreate the dimensions for this project without too much trouble. However, if you’d like, I do have CAD models available for a small fee to take out the dimensional guesswork. Just send a message if I don’t have the CAD uploaded yet. Just to let you know, this model is intended to be a guide and is not a fully detailed. If you require such drawings let me know and I’ll accommodate your request.

When designers design things for themselves, it always turns out to be something awesome. Very cool!
