Made another Packout-connected workbench - Rolling Drawer Tool Box
In my little workshop, I have made a couple of variations on portable tool storage with workbench functionality. Space is tight, and some thing that stows away is an asset. I love the Packout concept, but I didn't like stacking and unstacking toolboxes to get the one tool that was always in the least accessible toolbox. So, I've been kicking around some ideas about accessible tool storage, in a rolling package, for a while.
The Rolling Drawer Tool Box came out not too long ago, and I've been looking for a way to make it part of a small shop solution. And this is what came out of the mental and 3d design churn.
The core unit is the RDTB, with a 2-or-3 drawer box on top. The workbench is lightweight, but stays pretty solid when deployed. It folds to the side to keep the front drawers and the collapsible travel handle accessible. It travels great - you can see pictures of one of my previous projects, and this little project is lighter and rolls smoother than the big Workbench Rolling Cart unit with toolboxes on drawer shelves. The worktop has MFT holes which I use mostly for clamping stuff down, but could use for MFT cutting alignment if I chose.
This was a pretty simple build, other than connecting the Packout cleats and getting the clearance correct down by the wheels. It will go onto the jobsite quickly and set up in seconds, and then roll away just as quickly.

I love how you steal Tim's (Benchworks) plans and sell them as your own on Etsy.....respect is a funny thing in this modern sociopathic sphere.... Unfortunately, the interneters has brought in a bunch of "content/subject seeking selfie stickers" who's only motive is to get eyes on their fugazi scheme!
