Jay Bates Here is what I liked: 1. You built something and weren't afraid to quickly rebuild an improved design. 2. The gray letters/ numbers you overlay subtly for our information (and assuming) so that it is not distracting. 3. The multiplicity style editing of yourself in the same place at the same time. It not only adds to the quality of the video (entertaining), but also it saves on the length of the video. Thank you. Your videos improve Every Time! I look forward to your next one.
I really enjoy you video technique. The added text, double Jay, high speed video through the redundant portions. It really makes watching your videos a pleasure. Great job.
This week I needed to learn SketchUp. And dude, your tutorials are excellent. I went from no SketchUp experience to having a fully designed piece of furniture in about three hours because of your guides. Thanks tons, man.
Hi Jay, nice build video and article. You were correct, it’s a good plan, and thank-you for bring it to our attention. I did make some minor changes, increasing height slightly, increasing the depth of the deck by 1.5 inches (used a 2x4 instead of 2x6, and 1/4” plywood for the front lip), and adding a 2x4 across the upper back side (the cutting rack) to help with clamping. These changes increased storage capacity slightly and made it easier to clamp work pieces at the top for cutting, while keeping a pretty small footprint. Thanks again, and best wishes!
Thanks for sharing some changes you made. BTW now that it has been a few months since your build, how useful do you find the panel cutting feature? Is this too low for cross cutting? Any insights or improvements you can share or suggest? TIA.
@@vjtiengineer5496 To be candid, the projects where it would have been used to cut panels have repeatedly been pushed back. It’s also increasingly difficult to bend down, so the “cutting rack” seems rather low; I wanted to place a 3/4” sheet of rigid foam board behind the plywood (the support blocks are cut from 2x4, so 1.5” deep), have not been able to find any; and I’m still not entirely satisfied with clamping capability. But I’ll get there. And we’ve been occupied with a lot of other priorities like family. Yesterday it was electrical troubleshooting for one of our children. Next week, it’s more electrical work for another. And one needs the pantry redone, with adjustable shelves and a new (used) door. It keeps us busy. One of these days!
Much better then the vertical. .and u can move it around..i need one but maybe a tad bit smaller so itll fit in my basement. Thanks for sharing the build makes it easier when its on video.have a good weekend jay!
Jay Bates I'm always impressed by how methodical you are in the way you work. You could see it when you were building your miter station, but the twin shots in this video really highlight it. The first one was like a mirror image! I love the way your shop is turning out. Keep up the good work.

After searching on the internet and through my own book collection this design makes the most sense for me. Thanks. By the way, love the way you black out all your tools.
Tons of good stuff in this video beyond it's primary focus Jay. The speed square trick, the aluminium tape holder... but what I think I enjoyed the most is the editing style. 3....2....1....GO! Loved it. Its been fun watching your shop evolve.
Well now your clamp rack is in the way! Haha you got to love it, a woodworkers shop is never finished, one day you'll be happy with how your shop is set up, the next day you'll want to change something. That's a great cart though, very sturdy!
Wow, I remember seeing that design in Wood magazine and thinking it was a great design but never got around to making it. Thanks so much for doing the video, it will really help me git 'er done now.
Might not be your design Jay but you're putting out a video on the build which makes the process that much easier than just plans. That and it looks awesome, good casters too!
Looks like a very nice design, consuming minimal space depth-wise. I also like the idea of using the back side to break down plywood sheets. Have you used it that way? There does not seem to be much capability to clamp sheets down. Would more horizontal and/or vertical supports be advisable?
Great project. Very useful. Maybe about two weeks late as I just finished up my mobile cart. I really like watching your videos and finding that point where I'm like "DUH!!! Why didn't I think of that?" Specifically talking about using your square to help keep things lined up. But there is always something I'm learning from you. Thanks for sharing
Nicely done. I too had a vertical plywood rack. It doubled as a mini room divider hiding my air handlers, one side was used for hanging clamps and the other got shelves thrown on it. Think of a plywood box with the center used for storage and the other surfaces were used to suit. I would have still had this setup if it wasn't for 98" ceilings and fluorescent bulbs everywhere!
Life would be easier if there was 8+' clearance under a garage door. Nice tricks with the speed square - learned something new today. As far as breaking down sheet goods - I have 3 6" wide by 8' long pieces of 3/4 ply that are dedicated for breaking down sheet goods. They go on top of my Paulk bench and provide clearance - just like Ron does in his videos making the bench. To me, dealing with the sheet in horizontal vs vertical position seems easier, especially when trying to clamp the track for the saw in place - no gravity issues Scott
Hey Jay! I have subbed to your channel for a while now, and it has been a blast seeing your sense of humor and creative style develop over time. Keep doing what you are doing! I love your videos.
Hi Jay, hope everyone is well and healthy. Saw your video on the plywood cart, liked the design, found your article and a brief, two page write-up from Wood magazine issue 205. Q: have you used the back side to cut sheet goods? How well did it work? Any suggestions? There did not appear to be much in the way of support along the upper edge of the back side, nor much in the way of clamping surfaces. I was thinking of adding an extra 2x4 stretcher along that upper back edge, and a piece of 1x or 2x along the outside of each end panel, along the back edge, to provide areas for clamping. Take care, and stay safe.
I made a similar thing out of square tubular steel. The outline is similar, but one end bolts to the wall. The other end rides on 2 casters. It swings like a gate to load and unload it. It fits under lumber racks on that wall. More steel makes the uprights to mount the racks on.
Hey Jay, love your videos. I'm subscribed to several woodworking channels, but i think yours is my favorite. You almost always build something useful that i might actually build myself...and i love your sense of humor too. I'm glad i don't live in your area though, that heat & humidity would kill me!
Another great video, just what I was looking for. I noticed you put your casters more to the outside than it shows on Woods site. Too far under and you can't lock the casters. I just made a moveable miter saw table, I extended the 2x4 for the casters out 4" on each side for quick and easy access. So far I haven't tripped on them yet..ha. Thanks
I feel your pain on this one. I couldn't give up the wall and ceiling space the overhead garage door requires so I built eight 2 ft doors and hung them from an aluminum track with nylon rollers. Four doors open each way, giving me all the wall and ceiling space and nearly 15 ft unobstructed of the 16 ft opening. They're just cheap pine but stained and varnished they look great. Now everyone knows a woodworker lives here and they stop by and ask me to build things for them. I've gotten several jobs because of those doors :)
+Michael Anderson How about some photos of your doors? It sounds like your series of 2 foot doors are your exterior garage door. How do you manage weather and security aspects?
Nice cart Jay. I am about to start setting up my shop and the wheels on this are nice for getting things around. I started thinking about unloading from my truck, and the cart will come in handy for that too. Also, I am not totally sure where everything will go, so it makes it easier to change later.
I like the cart & your video editing. Looks like Mississippi is a sauna even as early as June. I stayed in Biloxi in the winter back in '95, and it was nice in winter... I'd hate to live there in summer, tho'... I like the dry of Northern NM... not so hot & swam coolers work great here. ;o)
Your garage door seems to be a consistent design obstacle in your shop. I know someone suggested replacing it with tarps as a joke...but what I think would be a really cool idea for a video and also add a ton of value to your home would be to make a nice wooden garage door that opens outward side hinge style. I know it would be a pretty huge project, but I think thats the kind of content a lot of us want to see. A follow up project would be a matching front door!
Jay Bates and you could put storage on the back of the doors! The only thing to think about is, if you plan on ever selling the house, people want garage door openers. So I would definitely build it with automation in mind, even if you yourself dont put in a motor.
New subscriber here. Thank you for the great tutorial video and link to the Wood Magazine diagram, Jay. I can't figure out why why you said it was a "long and productive day" and why you're sweating so much when it took you and the good looking one only seven minutes to do the whole project. I also noticed you didn't set the horizontal support on the "panel saw side" back 1/2" like the WM plans and wondered why you made that alteration. Thanks again for being a great teacher.
Always good to have it though because if you did not add it you might want it. Knowing it's there and can be used would save time later if you need to use it.
A twin is always there to help. Jay I enjoy the special effects in your videos. One question, could you show how to use the back as a panel saw. Thank you for your time.
Great stuff JB. My workspace is extremely small and subsequently just about everything is on wheels, including my saw table and workbench. Thanks for another great idea to improve my storage.
Derek Cadmus - Why would we switch? It took the Hawks a decade of embarrassing play to accumulate enough lottery picks to enjoy their five years of success. Come back when you've maintained it for 20+ years like the Wings have. :)
Almost thought your jump onto the finished project at 6:37 was a not to Mattias, but it was just a castor test. Nice job on both the storage rack, and the Video Production.
That miter saw station has really come in handy. Cloning yourself comes in handy too. I bet the training curve is tremendously reduced when you clone yourself (unless of course you yourself needs some training :) ) Looks great Jay.
love that design...just wish i had the space for it. my shop is in my basement. also, just a shot in the dark here, but i'm guessing it was a little warm the day you shot this vid? lol...
Great job, I think if I worked with a twin it would have taken me less than the 2 days it took me to build one of these. I made my deck 3 feet shorter, as I figure no problem for the overhang and I work in a single car garage. Also made the deck a bit wider, as original design was surprisingly limited in the number of sheets it could hold. Man when that thing is loaded, it is pretty hard to move, so I drilled some hand holds on both end pieces to make it easier to pull. Btw I am inspired by your Paulk table modification.
