I decided I finally needed to address the elephant-sized pile of scrap wood in my shop. I've needed a scrap wood cart for a long time and I took the time to design up a version that is, I think, a great compromise between size and capacity.
This project was pretty straightforward and would just for a great shop project that will both enhance some skills and add some much needed organization to your shop. In total this project requires 2-1/2 sheets of 3/4" plywood, a couple of 2x4's, and 6 casters.

I’ve had a cart like this for about 20 years. My suggestion if you are building this is to use larger casters. Yes, they might have the proper weight rating, but you need a larger diameter wheel so it doesn’t get hung up on debris on the floor.
I’m disappointed ☹️. You didn’t paint it to match your other cabinets! In all seriousness great cart. I have to do something like this. Great video as usual 👍
Thought the same
Agreed. Where’s the paint?
That’s funny I thought the same thing
I can't tell where the wood scraps end and the cart begins, PAINT IT!
I built one that looks exactly the same. I got the design from 3x3 Custom - Tamar. Works great.
Was surprised he didn't credit that channel. I built mine a while back based on her video.
And both are extremely similar to wwmm design from 10+ years ago
“Why is the earth flat” hahaha that was gold!! 😂🤣😂
Great design and build! I’m OCD too and mark off the measurements for drill holes. That’s how we produce high quality builds! 👊🏼. Keep up the great work and it looks like it’s family tested strength approved haha.
Bought the plans a couple weeks ago and finished the build last night. Plans were easy to follow, I cut the dados on my table saw for the back panel. Plans were easy to follow, and the design worked out well. The cart holds a lot of lumber and cutoffs which is nice. Now I have one place where I can see what material I have on hand rather than having to look through the various piles that accumulated on the surfaces of my shop. My only change was not doing the dado on the very top edge of the back panel. I just screwed it in and called it good. In fact, one could probably skip the dados altogether and just hold up the horizontals with pocket holes from underneath. Those shelves won't hold a tremendous amount of weight. Those would probably be my only changes if I were to build again.
Hey Travis, years ago I built a lumber cart using a full sheet of plywood meaning the cart is 8ft long. I also used a full sheet of plywood for both sides, the small stock bin side and the sheet good side. Let me just say that cart is HEAVY and HUGE! I totally agree, overkill and now it is loaded up and practically un-moveable! Definitely worth tearing down and redoing to something more along the lines of your cart!!! Great job and yes, for the most part, I measure for the screw placement, it just looks so much nicer and professional! 😁
"Why is the earth flat?" Instant subscribe for that level of humor.
The Earth is flat?! Why has nobody told me this before? All my years of science class wasted!
100%
Nice build! And I definitely measure and mark out where all my screws are going. We're not crazy, everyone else is.
I love how your lumber mess is still so neatly organized. Love the design and great video
Precise screw hole placement just makes me happy. Its ok to take extra time if it makes you happy.
Really nice storage cart. Particularly like the evenness of the screws you installed. Do the same thing.
Wait you didn’t paint it? Are feeling ok?
Haha I know, right!?
I built one similar but in 8ft long and once it was full of lumber 2 of the 6 casters failed and it would not roll. I unloaded it and replaced the garbage casters with 11 better ones and now it rolls fully loaded. If you are only using 6 casters just make sure they are heavy duty and can handle the weight.
I have several sheet's of plywood plus 2X4's snd 4X4's and it's a teal pain moving them awsy from my tool storage boxes just to get a wrench or other tool out. Thanks gor the video. I don't have all those other tools you have, just basic stuff, circular saw, table saw, etc.
If you are OCD about screw placement, pre-drilling holes from inside the dados (opposite side) ensures that they are centered on your panel.
Hey there big"T" I like the cart you have built. And you doing a little surfing in the shop gave me a ideal. You come up with a great Monster Truck for your son to ride in!
I recently found your channel and have been binge watching your videos. One thing I have noticed is that you frequently have to fix connections you have applied glue to. I think you could really benefit from dry fitting your projects. Completely assemble using only the mechanical fasteners to verify fit and finish then disassemble and put back together with glue.
Dude! How did you know this was my next project for my workshop!? I was spending all week watching similar vids on this subject trying to figure out my design. This is not only great design that fits my space, but also impeccable timing!! You are awesome! Thanks for the video!
Sweet! Glad it helped
This is my first time watching this channel. I’m impressed. Subscribed!
Love the channel. Not wood working related, but I recently discovered digital/app-based sprinkler controllers and replaced our old RainBird controller with a B-hive from Amazon. Super easy install and much easier to program and it can do things like cancel the scheduled watering if there's rain in the area since it knows the location. You could totally get rid of that big controller and get that space back if you want to. Nice job on the cart.
Yeah that is for sure on my to-do list!
Good job bud,....This is what I need in my small 2 car garage shop. Thanks for sharing.
I plan to remake mine sometime soon. Good design.
Thank you, this is exactly the plan I have been looking for. I have purchased the plans. Love your attention to detail!
Totally with you on the measuring screw placement.
Love the vertical rails for the sheet side. I made one very similar and struggled to get the shelves square and "level-ish" with a full panel.
Wait…. What? There are people who “DON’T” measure and precisely layout their screw holes? I would t be friends with those people 😂
Great cart. You did some nice design work on it. It will hold a boatload of assorted stuff, you may be swapping out those casters for larger diameter ones. As heavy as it is, a tiny little piece of scrap will stop you cold, but as you never have scraps on the floor, that point is moot. ;-). When I hand cut dovetails those little pieces seem to always land in front of a wheel, even if it's across the entire shop.
Might be the one that I'm looking for. Iike the idea of stowing it in front of the door. I would never have thought of that.
I built the same storage cart using free plans from Steve Ramsey.
I just watched that video from Steve Ramsey looks a lot like it.
Steve Ramsey took down the link target. I was just there and I couldn’t get the plans. 😭
Routers make a fantastic mess. Been putting off some routing myself but I’ve also been vacuuming all the time anyway. Great build as always. Wood problem? It’s not serious is it? Oh my God! So much wood in my garage.... it’s bad. Real bad.
I can't help measuring the screw locations either....
I purchased the plans several months ago and just now ha time to start the build.
I read through the plans and have found the Cut Sheets 1-3 confusing.
I suggest that you remove repetitive cuts, i.e. Base Panel, Back Panel, Front Skirt, Back Skirt etc. etc. from Cut Sheet 1,2&3
Once a cut is made it doesn’t need to appear on additional Cut Sheets.
The Wood Storage Cart plans are excellent with the exception of my previous statements.
My 2 cents
Awesome, my wood storage solution is outright embarrassing! I have that same "curb" all the way around the garage and mine would have to go on a wall, so I'd have to compensate for that to make sure my wife can still get her car in there.
I usually start out measuring screw holes, but as the projects drag on my give a damn gets less and less. lol
This is a Wall, that MOVES LOL !!!
I've even measured for my brads on a face frame!
I'm thinking that you should raise that outfeed table up 3/4 inch, don't have to push down at the end of the sheet, so will be a lot easier to push through!
Excellent video and idea for those of us that have limited space and need to roll things around from time to time. Keep the great videos coming!
Awsome Travis, watched most of your videos and love the approach. Attention to detail and quality of the builds. Looking forward for the next video. Check in daily
Your cart looks exactly like one I made over 10 years ago for plywood and other storage. I got my plans from Wood magazine. Your cart looks strangely identical.
Yep, the screws have to be spaced evenly. My OCD goes haywire if they are not.
Enjoy watching all your videos, just finished this plywood storage cart, turned out pretty good. I’ve been out of woodworking for many years you’ve inspired me to get back into it. Thank you for your energy in woodworking. Keep the videos coming.
Really efficient little piece Travis. That is exactly what I’m looking for
No Shop Nation "grey"tness paint on the new cart?
Nice job..
FYI you can move that sprinkler controller
If you don't have enough scrap wood to build a scrap wood storage cart, you don't have enough scrap wood!
Great build Travis i need to do a very smaller version of that one myself, or the one that Brad did at 'Fix This Build That' which looks similar.
Mind you i do prefer your build.
Stay Safe,
Barry (ENG)
Which was inspired by Woodworking for Mere Mortals. Must be a good design to keep being used and re-created.
yes i’m all about measuring precise locations of screw holes it may be OCD but IMO it’s more of what separates the Professional and the NonProfessinals it’s Integrity and i don’t even care if it’s in a spot nobody will even see
Rockin background music. Carts pretty good too.
When it comes to laying out my screw hole locations, you’re not the only one; I do the exact same thing! But the way I figure it, if I don’t aim for perfection, I’ll never achieve it, (not that my work will ever be perfect), but you know…🤔 why not try?
Fast Cap makes a tracksaw track holder that mounts to your garage door.
I've got an 8ft long wood storage cart on casters for sheet goods and cutoffs. I still have a wood storage problem ... mainly because I lack the "get rid of it" gene.
Love this! I can relate.... Thanks for the plans available. I really like the last garage hinge set up you had.
I love the video. But I built one of these for my third stall garage shop and I absolutely hated having it during the winter time. I didn't mind it during the warm months as I would just park my truck outside a lot of the time. During the winter though when I want both vehicles in the garage cause of snow or it just being crazy cold it made the third stall shrink by having it. I was always moving it around so I had more space. Again though I liked your video and love the channel. Just my experience with a lumber cart wasnt good. I started really planning out anything I wanted to build a lot more so I dont have much off cuts and for the off cuts I do get I just try and make small little things out of it to sell or give away right away.
Heading toward that quarter million with a vengeance! Way to go, brother. Keep up the great work. Also, digging that "SEND-CUT-SEND" thing... might have to try them out.
Hello from Australia. Nice work on the cart - the plans don't seem to be available anymore ...??
Love this! Thank you, Travis!
I like your design and I’ll be building this within the next few days. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for this! I matched the design except made it 3" narrower for my garage. Nice design, sir.
Awesome, love it. Thanks
Nice build, adding this to my to do list! I am with you on the screw spacing! And overkill with the wheels...why not! Keep up the awesome work!
Awesome idea and great design
Very nice, and only $8 for the plans!
Definitely going build me one for my shop
Thank you for sharing this and many of your shop builds. I am going to start building myself a woodworking station and your video's are giving me plenty of ideas.
Thanks for sharing this....I definitely need one of these.
You have got to get a guard for that dado set.
Awesome!
But I am a little disappointed it wasn't painted Shop Greatness Gray....
hahaha
Very well done sir
Hey travis, I built one of these carts some years ago from plans in American Woodworker Magazine, it was big enough to hold full 4 x 8 sheets. My question is are there copyright rules that come into play here, or is it OK because yours design is similar but different because of it's size. Maybe you could address that issue in a future video as it wouls apply to other projects that have been designed by yourself or other you tuber's or really any source such as a publication, and how it applies to the general woodworking public.
Thanks for your input on this.
Great question, honestly never really thought about it because I didn't intentionally steal it. I would imagine that by proving "1 dimension" being different than the others you could get around any copyright issues. I doubt that ever comes up honestly...
Shouldn't the pocket holes on the outside dividers be on the outside for maximum strength ?
Nope
Your wood corner looks like my corner! 😁
What kind of wood do you typically use for your builds?
8:34 i prefer to do my prep work after i'm finished building the thing.
excellent build!
Great work young man
Hey Travis, love the build. I think you’re my sprit animal. Surfing around the shop, goofing around, making fun of yourself in the video, overkill sticker placement? All good to me! Thanks for the idea, I just might be making a shop cart myself soon.
…just need to add it to the list of other shop projects I have. Only about 38 of those…
Do your garage door springs have enough adjustment to mount horizontal storage to your door that goes above your head?
Yeah Im OCD like that too... But... Im an engineer too... so its in the blood...
You are killing it man! Keep up the great work. And now... I will go tackle my wood storage issue as well :|
vraiment une belle job.
nice job.
Loving this build, need to do something like this for my shop.
Very nice build it looks great thanks for sharing God bless you and yours.
4:!3 with the OCD screw hole locations bro! I couldn't relate to something so much in my life when it comes to my workshop xD Today is the first time watching your channel and from that point alone your channel has my attention! Plus you have some really awesome and practical Ideas I'd not even thought of. Would love to collaborate on some of mine with you one day mate, I got 12 years of qualified Cabinet Making & Joinery experience & definitely learnt how to make workspace practical in that time 😅
Hi - yes I have an OCD too and like to place screws in precise locations. Great build and I am inspired to build one like yours.
Given that you have been using it over a year by now, appreciate if you can comment on changes or improvements, if any. TIA.
That is SOOOOO not embarrassing. You should see mine. LOL
just curious, is there a reason you went with 3/4 inch over 1/2 inch ply, seems to me that 1/2 inch would give the same strength without the weight and less cost. unless i missed something, Thank You
Once upon a time (I'd say 60s and earlier, in the US anyway) it was uncommon to bathe daily. Washing/drying/styling hair - especially long hair - was more of an ordeal. Since hair was dirtier when washed, a double shampoo was often called for.
But also yes, they sold more shampoo by insinuating you had filthy hair and should use double the product. Pro tip for everyone: buy a $3 plastic scalp brush for use while shampooing.
Need dust collection? Your legs are great dust collectors! not seeing the problem.
Is that plywood from Lowe's? I found some pretty decent sheets that are primed on one side with lots of layers. Its the poor mans baltic birch. The top veneer splinters easily unless painted but its still pretty good for the price. I was just wondering what you were using. I really like the plan for a smaller version. Well thought out.
I'm still holding out for the shop margarita machine build! I know it's coming one day! As always, love the channel. huge fan. keep spreading Shop Greatness!
Yes the blondewood from lowes is my favorite big box store ply.
Great build and video! 👍 I can see one of these in my near future. Keep measuring for screw placement. I do too, and it drives my buddies crazy. 🤗😂😂
this is the first video I have seen from this channel, it was a pretty good video on making a woodkart but the music in this video was so bad it was loud and noisy and annoying
Ha, Ha.....I have those same shoes!! I think I got them at Costco!!
Nicely done
Yep, You gotta Paint it!! lol 😂 look Awesome man!!
Are pit sectionals comfortable?
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Are you still happy with your Fusion F2? Any issues or things that you wish you could change?
Finally caught up with all your videos! Looking forward to many more! Great work as always:)
Evenly spaced screws are a sign of good workmanship.
Great video again! I like your design much better than the one I’ve been using. Looks like its time to build a new one. I’m with you on the screw placement too…just makes it look better.
Wait... No paint job?!?! haha! Just messin! Nice build. Love the design. Totally random question... but I see you use torx screws alot... if not always. I've switched to them and will never use any other screw if I can help it. But what brand do you like? I feel like the screws you mounted your casters with are GRK cabinet screws. I personally am a big GRK fan. It's one of those things people think I'm crazy when I say one screw is better then another. But... When you know... you know. hahah
For sure! Yeah those are GRK but open to other suggestions too. I got so damn tired of philips screw heads...
Can we get a link to Lowes for the plywood you use or just a description beyond good quality? There is such a big selection and taking the guesswork out of it can help
Great video
