I can now follow my signature with the capital letters: DOSWCS (doctorate of scrap wood cart storage) for all the videos I've watched. This one hit the nail on the head for me. Thx!
I’ve watched a lot of videos on lumber storage carts, and I really like this one. Conserves lumber, lightweight, but still strong, and good visibility for what’s inside. Very well thought out! 👍
The addition of those pieces on the plywood side is very smart. I wouldn't have thought of that. I'm building one of these tomorrow and I'm going to steal your idea. Thanks for posting the video.
Appreciate the inspiration!! I have looked at many other carts but prefer your open design. I plan to make one similar....possibly longer just because of the surplus scrap materials I have. Thank you so much for sharing and great simple video!!!
I too have watched a ton of videos on storage carts. I like this one the best because it is not 8' long and 4' high. Full sheets of plywood can stick out and do not require a full cart. Further, the ability to move sheets forward with the removable 2x4's is ingenious. Wire mesh is also killer.
I have watched a ton of videos to get ideas for a cart... this is exactly what I was looking for! I wanted to go minimalist on the wood to reduce weight, and you 'nailed' it... and great video as well! Keep it up!
I had JUST finished a sketchup design for a lumber cart when I came across your video. I hated the fact that my design required so much wood (2 sheets of 3/4" ply + 1/2 sheet of 1/2" ply + several 2x4s and a couple of 2x6s). This design is much better! I'll make mine a little deeper to provide more space for longer boards in the center, but I'll be using these techniques. Many thanks for the excellent design!
Okay, it's mostly built. Your video was great. Your plans were very helpful. Thank you for your generosity. Tomorrow we'll add the casters and the mesh. The trailer stake pockets will be here in a few days to complete it. But it will be in use by tomorrow. ❤ edit: Oh, and we'll also build that little box for the small blocks etc.
Great idea, I really like your design, much better than what I am seeing in other wood cart videos. Found this just in time as I am going to be building one this week. Great job, thanks for sharing!
Every winter I bring wood home from work and by the time I get home it’s dark. So it just gets thrown where ever I can find a spot. Every spring I have to sort it all out. That’s what I was doing all day yesterday, or at least I was trying. This video just happened to pop up this morning (spooky how that happens eh?). There is so much wood there that I was struggling to find anywhere to put it. So I’ll build this cart which will use up some of the wood and give me somewhere to store the rest. Happy days 😀.
This is probably the best lumber cart I've seen yet. I hope soon to reorganize my garage workshop, & I think I've found The Lumber Cart to build for all my scrap & as-yet unused lumber! Thank you for sharing this & the plans. Have a great day! :)
I was part way through building a similar cart, when I came across yours. It has so many awesome, simple ideas that I immediately abandoned the much bulkier one I had planned and adopted yours. I'm making it 30" x 72" instead (because my base was already done), but am making the upper part similar to yours. Thanks for some great ideas!
The trailer stakes are brilliant. Watching your vid, designing my own, realized I need some vert support structure to do exactly what you described later - hold plywood while pulling plywood out of the back. Great job!
This is a great design! Clever idea for screwing from the bottom board. This is the first time I have seen the use of wire mesh and I love it! I have the same problem as you. I save most of the cut-offs I have from a project and their small pieces are currently in a bucket. But I think I'll just add some wire mesh when I make my rolling storage cart. I like that I'll be able to see what is in that area without having to remove everything, and I will add on a smaller version of an organizer to one end for all of my scrap metal and threaded rod assortment I have. And the trailer upright brackets, genius! One of the reasons I've been hesitant to make a cart is that I'm alone and do not want to call a friend to just hold boards out of the way so I can get at a board in the back of the pile. Keep up the great ideas!! PS: love the little shop elf I saw in the beginning. I bet you make her sweep the shop, lol.
I really like the use of the screen to cut down on weight and cost and the back upright rails to aid in accessing panels.Nice design overall ! Thanks for sharing !
@@AllTheHobbies I see so many of the designs of others that can hardly be moved because they're so heavy ! And I'm not one to hoard tons of lumber! This design really is the best I've seen so far ! Although I'm not going to forget to leave out that other shelf ! And I think I'm going to put down something slippery below where the plywood sets to aid in sliding the plywood on and off.
I was going to start on her cart tomorrow as all the others i watched needed 50 sheets of plywood to hold some plywood but luckily your vid popped up on my random list. So now back to drawing board to make up a mix of yours and Tamar's. Thanx for the share. 🤘
Well, after designing one from watching another video, I saw Tamar's video and was going to modify my plan. Then I saw yours, and now we have a new front-runner. :) Good work. I'll need to order some wire mesh but I'll save money on plywood, and I'll have the benefit of being able to see what's in the box. 👍
Just finished this build. I am extremely happy with how this turned out. The cart is very functional and is the perfect scale for a garage workshop. The cut list and the video made it a breeze to assemble. Also, I must echo that the wire mesh and stake pockets make this design excellent! Thank you and well done.
I’m about to go in my garage and build this now! I must have looked at 20 cart plans all were way too large and heavy for my needs. Yours is perfect and I greatly appreciate the plans -> New subscriber for sure! TY
I combined "a few" lumber cart tutorials and borrowed your wire mesh idea, it turned out great so thank you!!! Btw your cart is one of the best I've seen!
I am in need of a cart and have looked at so many other builds. Yours suits my needs perfectly. Lightweight is great and more affordable. Thanks for the video!
Looks very thoughtful and functional. Going to use many of your ideas and make myself one. Thanks so much all the way from Norway, for the inspiration!
thank you, i has lots of strips of left over plywood, and i was looking for the best way to put together a scrap rack. this was great! i made it 6' long and 3" wider, but it worked out perfect and stronger than i anticipated
I'm in the process of building this very cart... I wish more people would offer up cut lists... I really like the minimalist style of this cart but I may make the base 30 inches so the middle section will hold more 1x4 and 2x4s most everything I build is in 8ft sections and this is a great size cart for my needs... thanks What size screws were you using ? 1 ¼?
I didn't see any locking wheels on your cart ! It may have a tendency to move as you load or unload sheets of plywood and would be easier than having to block the wheels every time.
Thank you for the feedback. I will try to watch for that. I think I am getting a little better at editing but its a learning process. The feedback helps.

So many good ideas and improvements! I love the wire mesh, and the stakes for the sheet goods. Very clever, thank you for sharing!

Ditto. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks, Nathan!
Simple, lite and straight forward, not to mention cheap. I like it. Will build it tomorrow. Thanks

Thank you. A little cheaper and a lot lighter. Easier on the casters if they cart is much lighter.

Excellent. Lightweight, very functional, well thought-out, great workmanship. Terrific job, thanks for posting.
Thank you.
I really need to get off my bum and build this for my shed. Love that it is lightweight too. Thank you. 👍👍
Out of all the ones I've seen this is the one I will build. Great idea especially with the price of wood to date.
No kidding about the wood prices. I was cheap before they went up. LOL Glad you like it.

Thank you! Love the trailer stake-pocket idea! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 gonna use it on mine.
I like this open build. I like your mods, too.
The best I have seen without a doubt !!, thanks for sharing it
Thank you.
Great job, I really love the safety feature you added, a must have if you have kiddos or fur babies in your shop 😉
I liked this so much I built one for myself. Nice work.
I combined "a few" lumber cart tutorials and borrowed your wire mesh idea, it turned out great so thank you!!! Btw your cart is one of the best I've seen!
Thank you.
Great idea on stake pockets 👍👍
I just built this and it turned out great. Thank you so much for making this video and having the plans available!
Thats awesome. This made my day. You are so welcome and thank you for watching. Glad it was useful.
I am in need of a cart and have looked at so many other builds. Yours suits my needs perfectly. Lightweight is great and more affordable. Thanks for the video!
Thanks glad you like it. Much cheaper for sure.
Great video and project. Thanks for the ideas - helped me a lot. Good luck with future videos.
Simple... and less is more. Great! Thank you!
I really like the mesh wire so that stuff doesn't get lost at the bottom of the bin.
I saw the one that Tamar built too. I like your additions of the screen and the 2x4 add ons on the back side.
Thank you.
Nice and simple.
I like it, very simple and practical to use. Most of all very safe and organized. 👍
Good job on this build, I think this will be a very useful cart in my own shop.
Glad you like it!
Looks very thoughtful and functional.
Going to use many of your ideas and make myself one.
Thanks so much all the way from Norway, for the inspiration!
Thank you for watching. Im glad you found it helpful.
Excellent. It has everything I need, and goes on my list.
Great job.
Love this! Great idea to keep it lighter.
Thank you. Its still working great two years later.
thank you, i has lots of strips of left over plywood, and i was looking for the best way to put together a scrap rack. this was great! i made it 6' long and 3" wider, but it worked out perfect and stronger than i anticipated
No problem glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.
good job! I will make one of these myself, thanks for the inspiration!
Very nice!
I will be building this for my store today. Thank you!
Awesome. Let us know how it turns out.
I built it 4yrs ago and It's still holding up great! @@AllTheHobbies
nice build, it looks very useful.
I like this build. Thanks for sharing. Hope you film more soon :)
that is great. I built about 2 years ago, and it so heavy. I wish i had seen this then.
Nice build!

GEnial!!!

Good idea. I have not had any issues with it moving while loading/unloading since its still pretty heavy but its a good idea.
You need to crank up the volume on your video. Only the end comments are easy to hear.
Thank you for the feedback. I will try to watch for that. I think I am getting a little better at editing but its a learning process. The feedback helps.
And I have seen many
plans???? I can't find
