Re: Pit on Wheels!

Up until last year, we used a welded frame that carried 3 Craftsman-style red tool boxes (the ones that have the flip-open top and three drawers). They were stacked vertically in the frame, and would slide out so that we could set them on the ground/table to access them. Last year, we got fancy and actually built a rolling tool cart/work-surface. I'm not sure of the exact dimensions, but one of the important things to remember is that any cart SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIT THROUGH A DOORWAY or elevator opening. Our cart has drawers of varying depths, as well as room for our traveling drill-press and our disk/belt combo sander. We have a vice mounted to the top, as well as a jeweler's anvil that accompanies us. I recommend heavy wheels (two casters and two hardmounted wheels) that are at least 5 inches in diameter.

I was in charge of packing the tools, and this thing made my life a lot easier.
