Mobile Workstand
Basic Description

watch the
animated intro
This simple workstand is both stable and mobile. It provides a great surface for cutting, routing, sanding, assembly etc. You can roll it around your workspace by simply tipping one end a few degrees to engage the wheels. In the resting position, the wheels are disengaged and this is the key to its stability. There are no obstructions on the underside of the worktop which allows for efficient clamping. These mobile workstands work very well in pairs, so after you finish your first one, you may want to build another!


step:           4                



Once you have attached the long frame members, its time for the crossmembers. Measure the actual dimension between the long pieces (note: if your wood is slightly warped, these dimensions will not all be identical, so measure in each position a crossmember will be placed). We are using six crossmembers to give us a heavy-duty workstand that will be able to withstand plenty of pounding. Once you have the crossmembers, place them in the appropriate locations and space them evenly. Clamp and attach them to the long frame members with 2 1/2" (7cm) coarse drywall screws.
clamping is also critical when attaching the crossmembers
