That kick-ass transforming shop cart drew a lot of attention two weeks ago. So yesterday Timothy Wilmots, the craftsman who built it, started posting a video series showing you how he builds it from scratch.
Part of the fun of watching it is drooling over his high-end stationary tools. Not all of you have access to a Felder table saw with a slider, but everything he shows you could also be done with a plain-Jane table saw or circular saw, a router, a jigsaw and some patience. (Stay tuned 'til the end to see how that turntable is powered.)
I can't get over how brilliant the design of this MFSC (Multi Function Shop Cart) is. And Wilmots is selling a comprehensive set of plans for it here.
Also, a question for our European readers: I could've swore table-saw-based dado cutters were illegal in Europe, but Wilmots, who is based in Belgium, is clearly using one in the Felder. What gives?

Wilmots explains on his website why he actually bought that specific Felder model was because it was one of the only options at the time able to use a dado blade set. If you happen to look closely on some of his videos you'll see that the arbor actually has two extra pins which prevent the blade loosening the arbor nut when the blade stops. This is how the European saws get away with dado blades. I know that Hammer (Felder lower end line) also has this option on a machine.
