Lathe Cart

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.
