Barbecue Grill Frame Gets Second Life as Tool Cart
Jan 29, 2009
When a gas barbecue grill becomes unusable, we usually just throw the thing away. When my last grill died, I saved the frame and made this rolling tool cart for an oscillating spindle sander. I chopped the handle from the wheel side and shortened the shelf brackets on the other side to make small handles to steer it around my basement shop. I installed a base cabinet to hold the sander at the perfect height, and installed adjustable shelves for the sander’s accessories.
