stand for desktop?

[Chelmite]

What do I need to do for a stand for the Desktop?
Sears sells stands for their tools. Is that a good option?

Thanks

Harbor freight has a wooden workbench that sells for $159. (Many times on sale for $139) It is just about the perfect size and if you are so inclined would be easy to mount wheels on. It is beautifully made and finished. Mine is Maple and I do not believe that I can buy the wood for the price of the piece.

Are you referring to the 60" workbenches with drawers? It's only 20" deep. Is that enough support for the ShopBot DeskTop?

I have developed a tremendous Desktop Cart which completely breaks down without tools. I can load a Desktop in a Toyota Scion, van or pickup truck without any assistance. I will be offering the cutting files and a Utube video in the near future. You can see more photos in my album. I have already built two and working on a third. This is a total production platform with multiple shelves and storage boxes. Everything is within easy reach.

It is a complete production platform with multiple shelves and storage boxes. I have included a few photos to show some of its storage capacity. I have already built two and am working on a third. I will be making the cutting files available after I do a little more fine tuning and also will be doing a UTube video. I have built hundreds of projects using this cart and with the it, everything is at your fingertips. My latest design has a mouse pad platform with decimal equivalents on it.

Check out my photo album.

Brett- that is first class work on the table! You forget those cars are not pickup trucks! But it gets in there..

I need a table for my spindle sander and disk sander.. I may take the idea and adapt it with your permission.

Were you able to fab all the pieces with the desktop? If not, how big of a machine did it require?

These were all cut on a full size machine. I built two of them at my school shop. This one will be for me and I will be cutting it on a friend's machine since I am now teaching at a new location and they have not purchased a ShopBot as of yet. The top can be anything you want it to be. Once you see a more detailed breakdown, you will realize how much you can store. Ideally it is for a Desktop and work fantastic. Give me about four weeks to get things done and I will be posting the cutting files before end of August.

Brett,
Not quite a "flat-pack" design:D but very cool. Pull out your parts, slap it together and roll it in wherever you're going:eek:

Great design and good execution. How long did it take you to design that?
Good job:)

Took well over a week and more design work after that since I have added a bottom shelf, sliding rails, tool storage box, front tool tray, revised laptop shelf with mouse pad
area and clipboard/notes holder above desktop shelf. Working on my 3rd card for my own person desktop which just arrived a few weeks ago. Working on post Utube video and parts files.
