Howdy everyone,
It seems that plywood scrap has overtaken my life. I had it suffed here and there and everywhere in 3 seperate buildings. Finding something was impossible!! I have been wanting to build something to organize this mess for a while now. In this month's Wood Mag there was an article about a plywood storage cart. I liked the design and adapted it to fit against the wall in my shop behind the drill press.
Here's where I started.

I used 3 sheets of 3/4" birch ply from HD and a couple pine 1X's to make the cabinet. I kept the basic dimensions etc.. of the one in the magazine but modifed it to be open on both ends and attached permanently to the wall. Leaving it open on both ends lets me store much more stuff. I have turning blanks etc... on the left side and plywood on the right.

And here it is with the DP back where it goes.

I am so glad to have some place to store this stuff so I can actually tell what is in there. I had not built anything before becasue I couldn't come up with something that wasn't huge. This design doesn't take up any more space than the plywood itself leaned against the wall did and fit just about perfect in this spot between the overhead doors!! I still have 4' between the DP and the bench so there is plenty of room even for a fat guy.
Thanks for looking and I hope everyone had a great Christmas!!
