A few years back I purchased some plans from Tim at Benchworks for a Multifunction Tool Cart or MF-TC
and decided it was finally time I actually built one.
Sketchup plans were included as part of the pack, and as I am 6’4″ tall, I decided to modify the plans slightly to make the work platform a bit taller, this also allowed me to incorporate an additional drawer.
Some other modifications included making use of a 18mm work surface, 12mm table and slightly larger T-Track as I could not locate any that was similar in size to the ones Tim used.
I also adjusted the height of the adjoining tables.
I decided to make use of some M10 adjustable feet with Tee nuts instead of the feet shown in the drawings, but could not be bothered to re-draw them.
Likewise my wheels will most likely be sack truck wheels of some sort, rather than Festool wheels.
I copied all of the parts into a new Sketchup model and then proceeded to dismantle the cart and tables to lay them out on sheets of board to generate a cutting plan.
The main reason that the 18mm board at the top shows the parts on either side is because I had a couple of almost half sheets left over from when I built my workbench slightly too wide.
The leg pieces were laid out on 3m lengths of rough sawn 225x45mm timber.
You may notice that there are way more legs than would be required to build an MF-TC, and this is because I also decided to make some wooden sash clamps at the same time.
The design I used is by John Heisz from Ibuildit.ca, he has instructions, Sketchup plans and a Youtube video, showing how to make them.
The plans are imperial, so I decided to convert them to metric and then generate 3 different lengths and an exploded drawing to take measurements from.
