Knee bench/tool tote?

[Mike Davis]

I would like and have been looking for plans to build a sort of tool tote that doubles as a knee high sawhorse/ workbench/ step stool.
Have any of you seen such or built anything similar?
Or have you seen plans? Even a drawing or photo?
I kinda know what I want but haven’t seen nor can I envision exactly how it should go together.
Light weight would be desirable. Plywood would be OK.
I don’t need to carry my whole shop of tools, just what I need for a quick repair or short demonstration.

I like that idea/ concept. Haven’t seen one. Interested to see what others offer

I don’t know about Mike, but in my mind it would be a marriage of a tool tote, a saw bench and a Moravian style workbench. Like Mike, I haven’t thought through the details.

That’s the rough idea but that one is too heavy and bulky. It needs to be easy to carry around, up and down stairs and into tight spots.

How about a pair of these?

What about redoing those same plans but make it a folding unit with no tool storage?

What about this one from ShopNotes? You could change the height to suit your needs.

I found these on Pinterest but neither is exactly what I was thinking.
Maybe as Jim says with some alterations.

Thinking along these lines. This might be too big.

How about something simple. 12” wide, 20” high, handles cut into both sides and the top.

I built a pair of those and have carried them on the job for over 15 years.

I had a knee high saw bench that had a tool tray underneath. I used as a trim carpenter for a long time, and find it still to be a most useful tool. You cna move it around with a few tools in it and then get high enough to reach high and nail things. Roughly 18" by 36" by 12".
