| Shop Cart |
|
| Here’s a bright
idea - a simple shop cart with an adjustable light and quick, easy
access to supplies. A cart is a handy thing to have around the shop.
You can put tools and supplies on it, roll it up next to the project
you’re working on, or use it as a light-duty benchtop. In short,
it’s a great shop helper. That’s not to say you can’t
improve on a good thing. The shop cart shown in the photo at right
is a good example. |

Adjustable
Light. To shine light right where you need it, the cart has
a tall “mast” with an adjustable worklight.The light is
secured to a support arm that you can slide up and down the mast.
Lowering the arm, lets you shine light at a low, raking angle. That
makes it ideal for seeing small irregularities as you sand or apply
a finish. To illuminate a larger area, just raise the arm like a flag
on a pole.
Support & Storage. The worklight is
just one of the bright spots on this versatile cart. You can quickly
remove the light and use the arm as a stock support. For storage,
simply remove the mast and roll the cart under a table saw. |
