I don't have room to permanently mount my portable planer so I made a
cart to mount it on. I roll it outside when I need it, blow it off
and bring it back in. I got the wheels from Harbor Fright, an axle
from Lowes and the rest is scrap. The planer is fastened down with
lag bolts. Pictures in ABPW.

Nice, and fresh mulch as well.

Just be careful what species you plane. Some is toxic to the normal
plants we tend to have around. More often, wood mulch will screw up
the pH of the ground.

In my area our ph is poor for a lot of plants. Ashes are great, wooden
ashes, the worms also love wood products and so replace and improve
the nitrogen. Used properly it can reduce weeds.

Yeah, there are lots of variables. But I do spread my sawdust around
for water retention, etc.

A truly "green" planer.

Festool makes a planer now?

Eco green.
