Flip Top Tool Stand (Welded Steel)

What happens here

For each tool top, the two plywood pieces with the channels are glued and screwed together, with the channel facing inward, to create a single, robust platform. This forms a channel that precisely fits the quick-connect steel rod on the frame. The creator chooses to screw the tops together rather than glue them to allow for future removal or modification if needed. Once assembled, the wooden top is placed onto the steel quick-connect rod, allowing it to pivot. A door gate/bolt is then installed on one side of the wooden top, aligning with a hole in the steel frame. This bolt will lock the top in a stationary position when the tools are in use, preventing unintended rotation. Another hole is drilled into the opposite steel upright to act as the receiving end for the bolt when the top is rotated.

Goal: The two plywood pieces for each top are glued and screwed together to form a strong, channeled platform. These tops are then attached to the steel frame, incorporating a locking mechanism for stability.

[Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] now we're done with our top basically this is hugging the frame on the outside this little not just meant for this door gate that will be locking the top from moving and then we're gonna put holes through the other angle iron to actually be the receiving end this is going to be the top that sits in it with a little rabbit coming down to hug the tube well enough but the bottom is glued and screwed the top I'm not worried about gluing it and the reason why is because later on in case something happens I want to be able to detach it and so I'm gonna put screws in now I'm not worried about my tools ripping apart of this plywood because they're gonna be mounted sandwiched in so really long carriage bolts and so I'm convinced that everything's gonna be hugged tight together so once this glue dries we're gonna put this top on our flip top and put the hole that will be the receiving end of the gate and we should be ready to start mounting our tools putting holes and put any character bolts in so exciting let's go [Music]
