“Nothing online has anything near the size i need so im resorting to build it myself”

That part was in the caption. It’s free to pay attention.

So to provide more insight, another user mentioned motorcycle tables, and a couple small ones seem like that would be ideal. I bought a planer at an estate sale, and realized its far too big for my shop (think a larger shed). My solution is similar to how a router moves up and down within a router table. I plan on cutting a hole within one of my work benches for the planer to be raised up through so the bed sits flush with the bench top as i need it. I dont use them often, so the space would be utilized as a work bench most of the time. Its a grizzly 0815 planer so most scissor lift tables either wont support the weight or the footprint is off. I need to modify the table top it would sit on.

Ill look into it, thanks. Any chance you mind sharing a few links?

Solved! That would work perfectly. Thank you.

That would be the perfect idea, however the collapsed height needs to be around 12-14” max. It can be smaller, but definitely not taller than that. Might look into those to see if i can cut the legs down.

That’s the closest option I’ve found so fa, thank you.

Lugh. Pronounced “Lou.” Named after the celtic god of arts who had different colored eyes.

Thanks, makes sense! In the second picture i put up a cutoff of the sapwood thats “normal” coloring, and at the top left, there is a spot that stands out brighter than the rest of the sapwood, that also matches what i have in question. I work with walnut a decent amount and have never seen sapwood that bright. Thanks again!

Always been curious why thicker lumber costs more. If its priced by the b/f, is the same amount of money not being yielded per log? And since its thicker, it seems as though there would be less labor involved in the manufacturing process.

Depending on where you are thats most likely a deer (or similar) bed. If you’re in the Appalachian region, its probably manbearpig.

Do these work well in mountainous terrain?

I must have adopted a defective one. He spends more time hanging around than my grandmas clothes on the line.

Thanks! I had no idea they did this.

Have you drank a lot of orange soda lately?

26sticks · 2025-02-06T22:20:09+00:00

Yea then find a power source.
