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.
“Why is the earth flat” hahaha that was gold!! 😂🤣😂
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!
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.
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! 😁
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.
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
I love how your lumber mess is still so neatly organized. Love the design and great video
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
Nice build! And I definitely measure and mark out where all my screws are going. We're not crazy, everyone else is.
"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%
This is my first time watching this channel. I’m impressed. Subscribed!
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!
Thank you, this is exactly the plan I have been looking for. I have purchased the plans. Love your attention to detail!
Precise screw hole placement just makes me happy. Its ok to take extra time if it makes you happy.
Good job bud,....This is what I need in my small 2 car garage shop. Thanks for sharing.
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.
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!
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
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!
Really efficient little piece Travis. That is exactly what I’m looking for
Really nice storage cart. Particularly like the evenness of the screws you installed. Do the same thing.
I plan to remake mine sometime soon. Good design.
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.
Love this! Thank you, Travis!
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.
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.
I like your design and I’ll be building this within the next few days. Thank you for sharing
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.
Rockin background music. Carts pretty good too.
Love this! I can relate.... Thanks for the plans available. I really like the last garage hinge set up you had.
If you are OCD about screw placement, pre-drilling holes from inside the dados (opposite side) ensures that they are centered on your panel.
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!
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.
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.
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…
Awesome, love it. Thanks
This is a Wall, that MOVES LOL !!!
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.
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.
Great work young man
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.
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
Awesome idea and great design
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.
Very nice, and only $8 for the plans!
Definitely going build me one for my shop
You are killing it man! Keep up the great work. And now... I will go tackle my wood storage issue as well :|
Thanks for this! I matched the design except made it 3" narrower for my garage. Nice design, sir.
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.
Wait you didn’t paint it? Are feeling ok?
Haha I know, right!?
vraiment une belle job.
nice job.
Wait…. What? There are people who “DON’T” measure and precisely layout their screw holes? I would t be friends with those people 😂
Loving this build, need to do something like this for my shop.
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 😅
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!
Nice job..
excellent build!
Very nice build it looks great thanks for sharing God bless you and yours.
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. 🤗😂😂
If you don't have enough scrap wood to build a scrap wood storage cart, you don't have enough scrap wood!
Very well done sir
Your videos are very impressive. You possess a unique ability to build most anything. On a different note, I don’t care for your music choices at all.
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.
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 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
Your wood corner looks like my corner! 😁
Finally caught up with all your videos! Looking forward to many more! Great work as always:)
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.
Yep, You gotta Paint it!! lol 😂 look Awesome man!!
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.
Awesome!
But I am a little disappointed it wasn't painted Shop Greatness Gray....
hahaha
Hello from Australia. Nice work on the cart - the plans don't seem to be available anymore ...??
You have got to get a guard for that dado set.
FYI you can move that sprinkler controller
No Shop Nation "grey"tness paint on the new cart?
Evenly spaced screws are a sign of good workmanship.
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.
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.
Nice cart, Travis! It coincidentally looks almost exactly like the one I built a couple of years ago. I skimped and used 1/2" ply which I instantly regretted. I also just used pocket holes to attach the shelves instead of dadoes. For the plywood side, I wound up adding two removable pieces of conduit that stick up in front of the cart so that I could sort through my sheets and get to the ones in the back without having to offload everything. Overall it has been holding up really well. Nice design, Travis!
I like the conduit idea, that is awesome
@@ShopNation yeah, it was a super simple and cheap solution and works well. Just made a couple blocks for them to rest on that I attached to the cart, then used a conduit bracket to keep the pipe on.
Yep, the screws have to be spaced evenly. My OCD goes haywire if they are not.
Nicely done
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.
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. 😭
I can't help measuring the screw locations either....
Great video
That is SOOOOO not embarrassing. You should see mine. LOL
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
Ha, Ha.....I have those same shoes!! I think I got them at Costco!!
Watch all you videos awesome content and not gonna lie surprised you didn’t paint it haha
Awesome design. As soon as I finish building the shop cabinets (going in a laundry room though), I will be buying these plans. As always, love your content. Keep up the Shop Greatness!
Steve Ramsey built the same storage cart 8 years ago, and his plans are free. If you're interested - ruclips.net/video/nZtIEFa3Ofk/видео.html
Yeah Im OCD like that too... But... Im an engineer too... so its in the blood...
What kind of wood do you typically use for your builds?
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...
Wait, you didn't paint it "shop cabinet gray"? You feeling ok? :) Nice work Trav, keep 'em coming!
Really enjoying your channel and overall approach to "making" and talking about your RUclips side gig. I infer that you are a displaced Tennessee boy like myself.
I tackled a very similar problem when I gave away a massive, far too large, way overbuilt storage cart I had built and worked around for years. But I refused to buy materials for the smaller cart - I insisted on building it purely from the scrap I had on hand, which was barely adequate. So I made a lot of compromises and accepted a "minimum viable product" outcome. It would never be acceptable for a RUclips "maker" but for a wanna-be, it works. Maybe I'll accumulate enough scrap now to upgrade to something more like yours.
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
8:34 i prefer to do my prep work after i'm finished building the thing.
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...
