I call it the Scrap-mo-tron 9000!!!!
I had serious problem tripping over and making room from lots of scrap wood lying around including two sheets of plywood. this beast is created almost entirely out of scrap I had from previous projects. only the screws, nails, dowels, and clip to hold the DC vacuum are new. I even had whiteboard material and casters lying around from other things! at any rate it holds the rest of what didnt get used to build it. that cleared out a lot of corners and piles I had been avoiding.
I like things to do double duty, so it also gives me “wall” space to do extra stuff.
Pic 1: c-clamps and spring clamps across the front.
Pic 2: white board material (you can get this stuff at your local big box @ 15 bucks for a 4×8 sheet. it is basically hardboard with a white finish of some sort. looks exactly like a white board) to keep notes and do out basic lists and plans.
Pic 3: havent come up with anything to do on this guy, I like room for future expansion.
Pic 4: Bar clamp rack, rip fence, crosscut sled, and some buckets for small scrap.
Pic 5: the whole shabang finally filled up. plenty of room for more scrap.
Pic 6: WOOOOOO
the whole thing rolls, and can be pushed outside if I need more room for assembly. It doesn’t solve all my space problems, but it certainly does help a few of them. Thanks for reading!

AAAAH!!
I’d have stopped at Hadrian’s wall, too, if I were facing hordes of haggis-fed barbarians like that. ;)

Nice job Chase.
It looks like mine, but you added a pergola to hang things from and I like that feature (I’m missing wall space). I’ll give it a thought. You may want to take a look at the handle I made to steer mine around my basement workshop.

Thanks for posting.
Best,
Serge

thanks serge, I might put a handle on it, but the size is large enough I would need multiples. Your dividers are more adjustable and removable than mine are, only the two that run front to back can come out, the others are screwed in.
One last thing i forgot, when assembling on a slanted driveway, do not use a level to get your uprights to match. I ended up rotating the thing around a lot as I assembled and the 4 uprights are in all directions.

Great cart… too bad (maybe) it will be full before you know it!!
Like the idea of double duty.

Nice job. I’m going to have to post some pics of mine from before seeing yours and after a couple of additions inspired by yours.
