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.

A truly "green" planer.

Festool makes a planer now?

Normally the shavings make a neat pile which I pick up with a manure
fork and bag. The spot I use has nothing but leaves, no nearby plants.
I never use shavings as mulch, as they take up nitrogen in
decomposition. I have plenty of pine straw for mulching.

The planer is actually orange.

Be kind to those without lives. They grasp at any straw for increased
self worth.
