    MDF (and some other sheet goods) are 49"x97" because the corners and edges can chip or dent more easily than regular plywood. The extra inch on each side allows you to ding a corner and still have a usable 4'x8'. Great project!

    Recently, more or less inherited my late grandfather's wood shop. I don't know a lot about wood working but going back and watching some of these older videos to figure some things out. These organization type videos are really going to come in handy!

    MDF is sold 97 by 49 because the edges are easily damaged. This allows you to get a full "sheet" from the material even if an edge is damaged. Great videos! Keep up the good work.

    I bought steel casters for ten rolling storage units I built (40 casters) and the steel ones were rated at around 330 lbs each (as I recall) which is far greater than any of the rubber / plastic casters available. The soft material (polyurethane or other) flattens under load and makes the cart more difficult to roll on any surface. The metal casters can still roll relatively easily when carrying a significant load. A cart that was virtually unmovable with two people and rubber wheels became manageable by one person when metal casters were used.

    I made the lumber storage cart from ShopNotes 55 a long time ago that is really similar to yours. It's seen better days, so I may have to build another soon. I like the modifications that you've done to make it lighter and more versatile. I may have to use your plans when it comes time. Keep up the good work, enjoy the videos. Thanks, Chris

    Bob, looks similar to the one I built, great job. I put some bungees on the plywood side, I found that when the plywood is stacked on end they have a tendency to warp a little. The bungees keep them all tight together.

    A lumber cart on a concrete floor is an almost perfect application for steel casters. The problem with the polyurethane casters is that, no matter what weight rating they claim, after they sit still for a while with a heavy load they will develop a flat spot. Steel casters do not have that problem. The drawback of steel casters is that they can damage a soft floor, but a concrete floor is not very susceptible, and even if some faint marks do appear, it is probably not a concern.

  • @nshimala
    @nshimala 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very nice. Watching you move it around made me thing it might be a good idea to drill some holes in the ends of the conduit for bungee cords so boards don't fall over when rolling the cart across the shop.

    I think I'll add a could of u bolts for a ratchet strap about 2/3's the way up would be good for holding the plywood tight up on the back...

  • @wortheffort
    @wortheffort 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    All the weight of everything in the rack is going to be put on the feet of the four legs. MDF might not be strong enough, especially since they arent directly over a wheel. Might be a safe modification to add more sq.inch to the feet with a 2x4 along the width.

    I really like how you built the cart to fit your needs. I am also a miniature painter and storing the various sizes paint containers is hard to do. The ones they sell usually hold only one kind of paint, so only one size. This not what I need I need to have something that fits my needs. Wondering how you attack this and what materials to build it out of, also after seeing this video one that is on rollers so I can move it around would be great.

    Hey Bob. Ryobi makes a 7-1/2" flexible extension that works amazing for tight spaces. I've even used that to drill pocket holes in awkward spaces. It doesn't say Ryobi on it so it's "sponsor friendly" as well. Best $9 tool I ever bought.

    That said --I absolutely love this video!!! Cuts and Build are much simpler - thank you for that!!!

    Regular plywood has some post cutting to do after the layers are bonded together, hence they need to be trimmed after (4x8). Since MDF is a composite that is pressed into shape it would cost more to trim it down after, Which is why MDF is 97x49 instead of 4x8.

    Cool cart! When cutting metal with a stop, the piece often binds against the blade so use the work clamp to hold the smaller piece down. I see you were using the work clamp to hold down the stop and holding the pipe by hand. Please be careful, promote safe work practice, and keep up the great content!

    Is there a reason you choose mdf over construction grade ply for the bottom? I would think over time the weight might warp the mdf, and I would think 3/4" ply might disperse the load to the casters better. Just my thoughts, awesome build!!

    MDF is oversized so if there is any edge damage during shipment it can get trimmed away and you still get a full 4x8 useable sheet.
    Just FYI..
