In this video I build a really useful scrap cart using only 1 single sheet of 3/4 plywood.
This was a challenge for myself to design something that utilized only 1 sheet to build something that I desperately needed.
I have FREE plans available on my website if you'd like to build one yourself.

Chris...THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! free plans. wow. least i could do is sub! making this over the next day or two.

@LordPadriac 3 года назад

In this day of greedy lumber yards and home centers jacking the price of plywood out of all proportion to the shortages the lumber industry hasn't actually suffered due to the pandemic; being able to make an actually useful scrap lumber rack out of a single sheet of plywood is amazing. Great job using what looked like every tiny scrap of that sheet. Totally ripping this off for my shop.

@salazarvincent8794 3 года назад

As a beginner weekend woodworker, this will be great for my small workshop! Thank for the tutorial. What size screws did you use? No need for pilot holes?

@sea2c 2 года назад

4 years on after you dropped this and I added it to my little shop today. It's my 3rd actual build in mid life journey and the best so far. Thanks for sharing it and keeping the plans alive!

@haiku7728 4 года назад

Just finished making my second one of these. My first used Baltic Birch. Second was the economy model. OMG people stick with the good plywood. After an hour of cussing the splits, voids and failing glue I was ready to burn my entire house down in a fit of stupid rage. After a beer tranquilizer I finished but I genuinely recommend the extra few dollars to avoid quitting woodworking all together. Thanks for the epic video and keep up the good work. From one former frustrated saw dust maker.

@ao2092015 4 года назад

Jason s I was in a rush and bought a warped piece of plywood from HD...big mistake. I’m enjoying making this cart but will have to do it again with a nicer piece of plywood.

@gregeverhart5179 4 года назад

I was thinking the same thing on the plywood...why does everyone's plywood look so much better on these videos??? The plywood at Lowe's and Home Depot usually looks like crap. And I'll have to remember your beer tranquilizer comment...love it!!

@wb_finewoodworking 6 лет назад

There’s something that I need for my shop. By using just one sheet of plywood it’s economical. I’d make just one change and use pvc pipe on the side for dowel storage.

@MakeEverything 6 лет назад

Thats a great idea!

@pdavio 4 года назад

I may almost be able to make this out of scraps in my shop now... if you consider edge gluing scraps together to make the larger pieces viable. I guess that means I probably also need two of them.

@fdort3971 6 месяцев назад

@MakeEverything thanks for the lesson and tips...I have one for you! I recently had to improvise to reach a hard area. Unfortunately I don't have a 90° head for my drill. I threw the driver bit into the end of a socket wrench! One hand to guide and one to turn worked really well.

@J4Julz Год назад

That's a nice bin, and great plans. Thank you! I also like how you are explaining the process, simple, clear, and to the point.

@ChippedBuilds 6 лет назад

Very cool. Love that’s it smaller than most of the other designs out there.

@Nightman2152 5 лет назад

During my apprenticeship I had to do everything (including curves) on a worm drive and since then I've always made fun of guys using track saws, mitre saws, table saws, jig saws ect. As I was watching this I was amazed how fast you were able to lay down the track and make a cut. It's as fast if not faster then I can lay down a chalk line. Combine that with the fact that it's almost completely dustless and I think you just sold a track saw to this hater! Great vid! This would be a great addition to any shop!

@johnlaporta3090 4 года назад

Thank you my friend. I have been wanting to build one of these but the plans I have seen either call for a cart that is too big or require tools I don't have. This cart is the perfect size for my needs and requires only basic tools. Had it built before lunch and that included a trip to buy the plywood.

@tesla_3_performance 3 года назад

Built it to the exact dimensions and the two 5” dividers were to short as well as parts “E & F” were 1/2” to short. 29” vs 28.5” would’ve been exact. Not sure what happened...I see looks like you’re using 3/4” plywood and I used a sheet of 1/2” MDF I had

@syossetworkshop 7 месяцев назад

I try to use reclaimed wood as much as possible but sometimes you really need a new sheet of 4x8 plywood. This project makes complete use of that wood, no waste, and your efficient design fits the spirit of using only what's needed. I was impressed with the speed and precision of your work. I'm going to build this cart but I'll probably use pocket holes because I don't think I can accurately position screws through plywood into 3/4" edges like you can.

@fromika 3 года назад

put the leftovers into the cart :)

@fredtheilig2710 3 года назад

I finally got around to building this project. I have a few observations. Breaking down plywood with a dull blade, poor technique, and no saw guide went poorly. Also, I used much lower grade plywood (half inch) than you. One thing I changed that worked well was attaching G to E and I and J to F so that both sides of the dividers can be screwed down. With all the hollows in my plywood, I felt better having as many mechanical fasteners as possible. Despite changes and issues, it came together quite well. Thanks for designing something for those of us without an acre of shop space.

@ChosenC Год назад

Just made this.. had to convert the measurements to metric but the way the plan is layed out also works for that. I used a standard 18mm sheet of 244cm by 122cm thats roughly the same size as the sheet mentioned in the video. Great project thanks for sharing bro!

@Irlose1 2 года назад

I hope this hasn’t been already answered but I know you left a lip on the back for larger sheets of plywood storage too. How are those secured to the back. Thanks.

@adeyzzz5328 10 месяцев назад

How did you solve it? Just built one myself and considering options.

@adeyzzz5328 10 месяцев назад

Built one of these this week, really pleased with the unit, thanks for taking the time to put this video and plans together, really handy this is all from a single sheet and being straightforward. I’m hoping this will help me sort out scrap wood stashed in various parts of my garage. I picked up a sheet of 12mm ply from a neighbour who was giving it away, a useful way to use the gift. I had to make some small adjustments from the plans based on a 3/4 inch board. 😎

@CharronOliver 4 года назад

Hi Chris! I finally made my cart thanks to being shut in because of the Pandemic. Your plans were very easy to follow. I know you said it wouldn't need to be painted or finished, but I couldn't help myself. I completely tricked it out with zebra contact paper, ( I know, it sound ridiculous) and everyone LOVES it. In fact, one of my colleagues wants one for her gift wrapping room (?) with leopard print, lol. I added a little shelf with holes bored in it to hold my glues upside-down and another one for my clamps and used pocket screws to put everything together so that they wouldn't show on the outside. I hashtagged you on Instagram (Booptasia) so you can see for yourself. Of course you can't miss it cause my cart is completely over the top in comparison to everyone else's, lol. But I had to coordinate with my tricked out pegboard for my tools and the plexiglass baseplate for my router, so it makes sense when you see them together in my basement. Thanks again, I really love the design you came up with this cart.

@miatafunrun3078 2 года назад

Nice and you used basic tools like how you used the tape measure to measure everything and even used it as a combination square to draw a line. No fancy woodpecker measuring tools here...

@ronswoodshack3855 3 года назад

@farmhouseproject6971 5 лет назад

@kendradavis9695 Год назад

Your plans will not download.

@JamesKautz 4 года назад

Loved it! Regarding those extra scraps, you could fashion handles out of them to mount on the sides so you have a natural place to hold when pulling it around the shop. I'm looking to do something like this myself, but I'll be using scraps of wood I'm salvaging from my job. We receive a lot of crated material and can't really repurpose the crates here, so I have a practically limitless supply of good quality plywood & OSB already cut into smallish pieces.

@echavez397 3 года назад

Thanks for the video. I really appreciate how simple you’ve made the process. I have never built anything before and this inspired me so I’m going to try this for my first project. Question do I need to put all of the dividers? If I avoid using the dividers and just put the 1 big divider in the middle will the structure still be strong or does it need the dividers for strength? I’m thinking of doing this for the loose firewood pieces we have and we have mostly big pieces. Thanks so much for your advise.

@peters2926 3 года назад

Thanks for this! It’s super handy to be able to do this with one sheet of plywood. I ended up building this out of 1/2” plywood to save money and weight, and it’s still quite solid. though I didn’t take that into account when cutting the inner dividers so they all ended up a half inch short. Oops! I was able to make it work with some scrap pieces. The other modification I made was to move the casters on the back towards the edge of the plywood. I found that when I had them located at the edge of the box part, it tended to get tippy when I stacked too much weight in sheet goods on that back lip.
