Plwood Storage Help

[Bryan Nuss]

Mike,

I found the plans for the cart still on the web at:

http://www.woodmagazine.com/wood/sto...y/data/494.xml

If I remember, the dimension on the drawing for the plywood base is not quite right ... measure the width before cutting it out. Also, I added another rail "G" on the back side about 14" down from the middle one to support cut-offs stored in the backside.

I have found this cart to be an excellent addition to my shop. It can carry an enormous weight, so don't stint on the casters ... use at least 3" diameter.

If you got the room Mike, Norm make a real nice stock cart to hold cut offs, sheet goods etc. Check it out.

Corey, Do you have the source for Norm's plywood cart? I don't see it on the New Yankee Workshop website. Thanks.

A good alternative is a lumber cart from the Borg. A friend of mine simply asked an employee one night if he could pay for one of the stores cart, he said go ahead and take it, he even helped picking it up to put in the back of his truck.
I agree they are ok for medium loads and could tip for heavy loads.

I bought the Troll drywall cart from Amazon & put a platform on the bottom to expand how much material it can hold. Its heavy duty, rolls easily, you can pull out what sheet of stock you need.

No I don't Jeff, sorry. I saw him make it on one of his shop helper shows if I remember right. I also saw a neat one for cut offs and sheet good storage from Bench Notes a year or 2 ago. Check their website, they may have it on there.

Seems most folks here who have given examples of mobile storage racks keep their plywood on the sides. I agree. A cart big enough to be stable with half a dozen 8 ft vertical panels in it would probably take up as much room as a horizontal approach. Just thinkin' safety.
