It depends a lot on what you're going to be doing /on/ the shop table. I
couple of years ago I built what had been intended as a panel cart - but
since then it's been used at least as much as a sanding table and assembly
table as a cart. It's movable, and when not in use doesn't take up much
space...

When I've wanted a solid top surface, I've thrown a 4x8 sheet of whatever
was handy on top.

It would be fairly easy to add whatever storage configuration you might
like under the side that tilts up, although I suspect that mobile storage
might be a mixed blessing.

I built the one from the NYW. It is great, the mobile - not mobile feature
is a must.

I made two mistakes I had to fix later. I made it from a 4 X 8 and it was
to big for my shop. Also I made the mobile height the same height as my
saw, planer. etc. I had to tweak the table so the non mobile height was on
plane with all of my tools.
