Imagine a butler holding up a silver tray. At one's beck and call, there he is serving up whatever it is one needs. That's the inspiration for this project - part of a small workshop solutions. Where there is little room on the work bench, table saw, the router table or by the drill press, a caddy like this that can be wheeled next to where it is needed and tucked away when not, is quite useful.
For $10, I bought the wheeled base below from the home center simply because there was no way I can build one for less than that.
From some left over 3/4 plywood, I cut to size a 20 X 14 board.
Drilling on a large board, too unwieldy to do on a drill press, is best dealt with using this accessory. First, a small pilot hole drilled through from the under side.
Drilling with a 1/4 inch Forstner on the top side bit to recess the screw head.
Right angle drill head accessory to drive pocket hole screws in tight spaces
This butler caddy will roll around the workshop next to wherever it is needed to hold and set various items.
