Project Information

I based this loosely on a post that "rance" made he, and his work was immensely helpful to me. I changed all the dimensions and angles, but I couldn't have made this without that help.

All the joints are lapped with a dado. I tried to use some 8" wheels but had some trouble with swing allowance, so I settled on these 6" dual wheels. All of them swivel, and the cart (probably weighing 2,000 lbs? not sure) is surprisingly easy to get moving and to control on the RaceDeck in my shop.

It's built entirely of 2×4" and 2×6". And a little paneling on two passageways. I can push plastic containers with offcuts through one side out the other. I haven't yet secured the angled plywood with a cable and eyehook, but that'll come next. Really happy with the way it turned out and I feel so much more organized now. I know exactly where each species of wood is and I can get it easily.

Great Idea. I had great cart at my previous shop for ply wood and such. Maybe I need to get back to that. Nice shop.

Very Nice! I kicked around building something similar, but ended up building a rack on the garage ceiling to save space. (My wife wants her car in the garage.)

You have a much bigger shop than I do. I have made a lot of shelf space up high or behind my Jointer. However I really do need something for the Plywood. Really nice cart and I really do see how well this would work for a bigger shop.
