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.

My planer is mounted on top of a cabinet with drawers. Holds lots of stuff in the cabinet. Your planer is mounted on a cart that you roll outside. It is permanently mounted on the cart. Or do you take it off the cart and put it on a shelf and fold the cart up? Sounds like its permanently mounted to the cart. So I don't understand how you are saving space because the cart takes up space. You permanently mounted the planer to the cart. Why don't you just say you put your planer on a cart and roll the cart around the shop and outside too.

The building that my shop is in has two parts. One part is my shop.
the other part holds lawn equipment, chainsaws, Wood rack, mower,
edger, chipper-shredder and such. That is where the planer also
lives. It is jam-packed in there and no way it could be used there to
plane lumber. The shop part is pretty well filled with stuff I use
regularly. The planer is seldom used. So it is stored where it is
out of the way.
