Thanks this was a great first wood working project and now I have a place for all the wood I build for other projects. Couple tips I learned… 1st in cutting the A frame connectors once you cut the first one just use it to draw the lines for the next 3. It helped keep everything perfectly matching. 2nd to do the frame connectors (which end up supporting the shelves, use pocket holes on the first side, with a 10 ¼” divider cut 5 degrees parallel on each side. This allows you to put the support to screw in against the 10 ¼” divider and then just screw 2 x 2 1/2” pocket screws right in without having to use more than one clamp. The kreg clamp was the best option. I also found it worked best to do the top 3 supports connected to both sides of the A frame, then use a soft mallet to align the final bottom one perfectly matched up against the first one built. Possibly, I just had bad cuts. But it helped everything match perfectly. Also make sure you find a solid option for thicker screws to put your castors in, that required one more trip to the hardwares store. I chose 1 ¼” 12 rounded sheet metal stainless steel.
Great lumber cart. I just built this but scaled it down to a 42” width and three “a frame” towers instead of four. It really is a great design. The 42” is perfect for me as anytime I have a full sheet of plywood, it’s for a very specific purpose and it is usually broken down immediately and would never need to be stored for more than a day or two. I bought the plans basically to pay/thank you for your work but I really didn’t think I would use them much. Actually the plans were really useful…I would highly encourage anyone that is inspired by a FTBT design to purchase his plans…it’s the least we can do for all of the great content that he posts. Thanks again!
Great lumber organizer and I need one badly. The only thing I'd consider changing is using plywood strips for french cleats in order to hang boxes for scraps and cutoffs. If you need to get behind them than just lift the box off the rack. Need to move the rack? Everything moves with you. I love your design!!!
That's a really good idea. I like the modularity of the design that you can go to town with good ideas that meet your needs. I am going to leave one side untouched for straight up panel storage. The other side I'm going to try different tricks to solve different problems.
I built this from your plans last summer. I could have done it without the plans, but they saved me a lot of time. The plans were absolutely worth buying. It makes it so much easier to use the wood I have bought. I had panels up against the wall that I had forgotten about. It streamlines my shop in unexpected ways. It was fun to make and at the “skateboard” step in the build we did take it out all over the driveway. My son enjoyed it a lot. Dog not so much, as he is not a board dog. This project was well worth it and will be used by me and my family for decades to come.
I've just about finished this cart, using the plans. The plans are terrific, and I appreciate how you minimized waste. the 2x4's and one sheet of pine AC plywood were $133. Add 30 bucks for casters and it is no longer inexpensive! A nice design. I chose to turn the 6 ft edge 2x4's vertical for additional stiffness, and no center rollers.
Hey Brad, I bought the plans last week and got to work right away. I was very pleased with how well they were laid out! The shop cart came together quickly and easily. It has made a huge difference in organizing all my leftover wood and just my garage in general. Thank you!!
Bought & downloaded the plans. Built the wood rack last Saturday. It is the perfect fit for my space. The plans were very good, easy to read and follow. Already loaded the rack with my excess lumber. Thank you for making the video and providing the plans.
I ordered your plans and built one and I have to say I'm very happy with it. I do have one improvement to share: Add a pair of eye bolts/lag screws to each end so that a ratchet strap can be used to keep large panels from getting away when the cart is moved.
Been using a plastic milk crate for the some 1x4 cutoffs. I build model railroads for my hobby. I do do other wood projects. So, I have sheets of plywood, Masonite, Luan, XPS foam and other stuff. I have a lot of 1x4s in different lengths. I have lots of ripped 1/2" plywood for more model railroad benchwork. It is just piled up in the garage, wherever I can put it. The wood pile in the garage is not going over too well with the wife. I have a sturdy workbench I built that has a removable top and the frame folds up. I built a stand to hold my table saw so the top of the table saw matches the height of my workbench, which allows it to an outfeed table when needed. Both are on casters that lower to the floor when I need them to not move. Now I need to build a wood rack to get things organized. After watching some videos on wood racks I bought your plans. All I need now are the 2x4's to get started on that project. I have everything else. I need to get over to Lowe's to see what i can find that is straight.
This is hands down the best channel for cool woodworking ideas. I just sold my house and the thing I'm looking forward to the most is incorporating a lot of your ideas into my future garage. Keep the videos coming!
Just finished my build, this was a fun and useful project. And yes Mistakes Were Made, even with the plans! I made one mod, I added a 3" board across the back of the vertical storage area to keep the wood pieces from protruding into the bottom shelf area and blocking larger wood boards as I slide them in fromt he side. The plans were clear and precise, the only thing I would add would be the screw guage sizes (#8, #10 etc.), because you may use a specific guage for a particular reason.
I have a problem. I fell into a rabbit hole of watching your videos and now I want to make at least 5 of the projects you have shown us...and I don't know where to start. My father is a woodworker, and I've always been interested in it too. But it wasn't until this winter that I got the real itch to have my own workshop in my house. I started by purchasing your shelving plans to get my garage in order a bit better to make room for woodworking tools and equipment. Next up is the workbench itself. I have such a small area that it will be critical to consider every major tool I have in designing it, for both storage and usage purposes. Really looking forward to the workbench project which is slated to begin sometime in April when my dad can make the trip up. Thank you for re-igniting my interest and giving me something to connect with him on.
Apart from saving money, the primarily 2X4 construction also give better visibility to the wood piled horizontally than similar carts made mostly of plywood do. I don't plan on storing full sheets, so I'm looking at making a 4 foot version. Thanks for the video!
I very nearly broke my finger with a kick back from a smaller piece on my table saw so BRAVO for the extra detail about using your chop saw. Good guy. Good goin'.
Hey Brad just wanted to say the rolling wood cart is a winner! I mentor a FIRST robotics team and we had pieces of wood laying all over our work space but not any more!. A very economical solution to a messy problem.
That's a very good tip for new, or even seasoned Chop/Mitre saw owners. Always let the blade stop (in the lowest position) before moving any piece of wood from the cutting area.
I built this, and it turned out perfectly. Thank you! Note - fitting the shelves took nearly as long as the entire rest of the project. Overall - very solid, very clear plans.
Love the humour ("Me nails") and I really liked how you incorporated Chuck into another video. Also, I feel it's great that you show what went wrong and how you fixed things. That's what woodworking is all about I feel - solving problems. Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks I was looking for some ideas. Had two rattlers lately and time to admit I have a problem where I don’t throw away any scrap wood and just piled it on skids outside that looks like the Clampetts.
I just finished this project today. I made some firewood when I didn't understand which part of the wood got the 5 degree angle cut. Didn't read the instructions correctly. :) If I were to make this again, I would make it a little wide and the full 8' in length as I keep sheets of plywood on hand and make the toe board a little taller. Great fun build and I finally got to use my miter saw (Miter Saw Station Build coming up!) Thanks for the great plans and videos!!
I just built an adaptation of this, I got a pallet from work that had a bunch of whiteboards on it and it was pretty close to your base size at 74 inches by 29 inches. And of course, it wasn't exactly square, but it is super heavy duty. Upon loading it up I realized I need about three of them! Time to get rid of some scraps.
Thank you. I've bought the plans and hope to make it over Easter. I figure I can't get my garage organised until I do something with all the scraps. Then I'm going to build the flip top tool stand :)
I learned a lot building this project. 1. I could not have built it without the plans. Plans are not directions. 2. 3/4" plywood is no longer flat when you cut sheets into 3" strips. 3. Always cut the longer parts first. If you put the 5° bevel on the wrong side you can always make shorter parts. 4. Fixture the A-frames before screwing them together, both top and bottom. A-frames need to be more similar than you think. Mistakes are for learning.
I built this today and it's a beast of a cart. Good design but I would reduce the size if my shop were any smaller. Some of the A-frame construction is fiddly but you can manage with some F clamps handy.
Great design. It was very funny today, my son and I wanted to build a mobile wood storage cart so we both started researching different designs. I finally settled on your design and downloaded the plans and then five minutes later my son comes out with the plans he just printed out and they were for your same design! Great minds think alike! We're halfway through the build now and just have to get one more 2x4, as we also mis-cut the 5 degree angles on the small supports (missing the note that the views on the diagram were side views and not top views). Looking forward to getting the shop organized!
Great video, I have to say it’s one of the cleanest wood racks I have seen. Have you ever considered doing a video on how to use sketchup or the program you use? I myself would like to watch for the help of layout etc.
Hey Brad, the cart looks like a nice practical design. Well done! Maybe give yourself some big sturdy handles to grab onto on the ends so you can grab it more easily. After a great build I saw how you pulled on the frame to move it, and I immediately thought, "handles!" And not made of wood, they will hopefully be comparably inexpensive.
I used a similar A-frame design for a cart I built a couple years ago. Like you, I do not understand why other people use designs that waste so much plywood. The main thing I did differently than your design is the base. I put the 2x4's in the base on edge since they are dramatically more resistant to sagging in that configuration (amount of sagging decreases with the square or cube of the vertical thickness of the beam, so 3.5 versus 1.5 inches makes a very big difference).
yup, thought of doing it that way, but wanted the solid connection into the frame. The A-frame structure all being linked together should help it resist bowing
Just got the plans and started cutting, got the base cut, and the longest and shortest boards of the a frame so far I did mess up on the cuts of the a frame but I quickly realized after cutting 2 2x4s the smaller pieces are being used for the shorter cuts luckily lol
I like this design. I was just going through all my wood stock yesterday. It's all mixed up, and inaccessible. I'll be making this rack in a few months, once I get some other projects finished.
Those are the first plans I buy. I ususally reverse engineer that kind of project but it (finally) occured to me that considering the price of the materials, I might as well pay a little more to save time :-) I'll be building this in the coming days. Cheers!
I needed this bad! Almost done with mine! Thanks for the idea!! Much better than using all that plywood for one, and I can actually see what I have instead of it being hidden behind plywood panels.. love it.
GREAT build, Brad. I will definitely get a set of your plans and get going on a rack for my shop. My current rack is crudely similar, but fixed against a wall. That means a BUNCH of lost pieces and sections that aren't accessible. I can get by with my current footprint, but the casters give access to all sides. I can likely toss some extra pieces that will never be used. THAT is the part requiring therapy ;)
That part about the "foot clamp" got me haha - I know the right way to do things, but sometimes you are just in a rush and you just do what feels good in that moment. I say it's ok because of "experience" hahahah!
Your videos are always entertaining and informative. Thanks for th idea. It would be great if the plans were scaled for a four foot version, but I might buy the full size and modify them for my shop.
Bought the plans a couple months ago. Been slowly building as I have time. My "mistakes were made" moment came when I checked that the assemblies were in the same plane. They are not. My mistake was using a couple 2x4s that were repurposed from a different project. They are badly warped. Likely buying new ones tomorrow and starting over. Unless anyone has a trick for getting the a frames to line up without being terribly crooked.
That Cool! I didn't know Eric Church was such a carpenter! Seriously though great job and well crafted video as well as the cart! Also: I thought you were Eric church for SOLID 15 seconds.
Awesome work, Brad! It's much more clear and organized now! 😃 About the pink foam, it's fantastic for making rc airplanes as well! Unfortunately, I can't find it here in Brazil. 😕 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
@@Fixthisbuildthat It absolutely is! 😃 Search on RUclips for Samm Sheperd's channel. Unfortunately he died in 2018, but the knowledge he left there is priceless!
Also, the pocket holes are nice but unnecessary, it's a shelf for scrap after all. Are for those of you who don't have a track saw rip a piece of ply on your table saw to make sure you have a nice straight edge. Then clamp it to the piece you're working on and use it as a guide for your circular saw. That said invest in a good track saw (I have the festool which is amazing) they are expensive but well worth it if you are making lots of straight cuts. I barely use my joiner since I got my festool. Good luck to everyone
Not sure you'll see this. But your fine cuts at the miter saw made me think of a tool stumpy nubs recommended from one of his "cool tools" segment. I can't remember what it's called. But it was like a third hand. It was basically a tripod with one leg about a foot long. You'd place one foot on your piece and the other two on the base and hold it by the longer leg to keep your hand clear while holding it tight to the fence.
I bought your plans, and I am almost done with this build. I do have a question, which side(s) of the 72" rail strips are you doing the 5-degree bevel on?
As a railroader handling 21 loaded lumber flat cars, 6 boxcars of MDF and 3 boxcars of Plywood a night, 5 nights a week, I feel like I'm transporting tan gold.

@Cash Knox Nope, nobody cares.
Sorry your website gives error message that plans are not available in my area. My area is EUrope. Why can’t I get those plans?
dunno if anyone gives a damn but I just hacked my girl friends Instagram password by using Instaplekt. You can find it by Googling xD

Hi, does your plan is in cm too?
Future video idea: Project Build-off Brad vs. Chuck
😂 😂 That would be fun
You have one of the best narration styles in the maker community, easily.
well thank you!
Chuck agrees too

My husband and I did the same thing! Love the storage rack! So glad I got the plans! Thanks!

Or a bungee cord with a carabiner clip at each end to hook and unhook as needed.
I thought I just finished my project today... Looks like I will add a few more things! Thanks for the tip!

Seeing the mistakes is so helpful. It gives me a good idea of things to look out for during the build. Nice job, Rodriguez.
No joke! It’s important to be able to see a problem, then figure out how to change course to make the project work anyway.
This is hands down the best channel for cool woodworking ideas. I just sold my house and the thing I'm looking forward to the most is incorporating a lot of your ideas into my future garage. Keep the videos coming!
thanks so much!

Oh my! Wish my shop looked that clean and tidy. 🥰
it's been a long time coming! But good storage and organization go a long way
Just built this cart. I didn't know how much I needed it until I build it. As other have said, fitting the selves is a puzzle to be solved :)
Fantastic work as always, Brad! Keep up the great work!
thanks, bud!
Apart from saving money, the primarily 2X4 construction also give better visibility to the wood piled horizontally than similar carts made mostly of plywood do. I don't plan on storing full sheets, so I'm looking at making a 4 foot version. Thanks for the video!
you bet!
I very nearly broke my finger with a kick back from a smaller piece on my table saw so BRAVO for the extra detail about using your chop saw. Good guy. Good goin'.
Hey Brad just wanted to say the rolling wood cart is a winner! I mentor a FIRST robotics team and we had pieces of wood laying all over our work space but not any more!. A very economical solution to a messy problem.
Nice to see I’m not the only one who second guesses plans and rejiggers them, etc!
That's a very good tip for new, or even seasoned Chop/Mitre saw owners. Always let the blade stop (in the lowest position) before moving any piece of wood from the cutting area.
I built this, and it turned out perfectly. Thank you! Note - fitting the shelves took nearly as long as the entire rest of the project. Overall - very solid, very clear plans.
Did you build what was shown in the video? (you didn't scale it down or up.) What was the finish dimensions?
Love the humour ("Me nails") and I really liked how you incorporated Chuck into another video.
Also, I feel it's great that you show what went wrong and how you fixed things. That's what woodworking is all about I feel - solving problems. Keep up the good work 👍
Design on the fly! haha
thanks!
Thanks for finally clearing that up...I had been wondering what a me nail was...
Love that you showed a mistake and how to fix.
Now to do something with the wood from your old storage system.....
Love to see what you come up with!
Thanks I was looking for some ideas. Had two rattlers lately and time to admit I have a problem where I don’t throw away any scrap wood and just piled it on skids outside that looks like the Clampetts.

Awesome, dude! Enjoy that cart and the next build
I just built an adaptation of this, I got a pallet from work that had a bunch of whiteboards on it and it was pretty close to your base size at 74 inches by 29 inches. And of course, it wasn't exactly square, but it is super heavy duty. Upon loading it up I realized I need about three of them! Time to get rid of some scraps.
I like how you have Norm's photo on the wall, he taught us all so much.
Built the cart from the plans. Plans are well detailed and easy to follow
This will be the first build for my shop and my first set of plans. You make it look so easy!
Thank you. I've bought the plans and hope to make it over Easter. I figure I can't get my garage organised until I do something with all the scraps. Then I'm going to build the flip top tool stand :)

Great intro buddy, that was funny! Awesome look at how it actually goes when building things:)
one day I'll do a project without mistakes....or not
Great job Sir!
I loved that little sketch in the beginning
I built this today and it's a beast of a cart. Good design but I would reduce the size if my shop were any smaller. Some of the A-frame construction is fiddly but you can manage with some F clamps handy.

Great build Brad! At some point, I will probably build a smaller version of that cart! 👍👍
thanks, Steve!
I dig the videos. EVERYBODY redesigns 1/2 way through...I appreciate the fact that you acknowledge it instead of pretending that you're superman.
Great video, I have to say it’s one of the cleanest wood racks I have seen. Have you ever considered doing a video on how to use sketchup or the program you use? I myself would like to watch for the help of layout etc.
This is one of the better sheetstoraget.
thanks!
The mobile cart is a great solution, I am lovin' mine! (but not lovin' the price of a 2x4)
thanks! and prices are insane for sure
Hey Brad, the cart looks like a nice practical design. Well done! Maybe give yourself some big sturdy handles to grab onto on the ends so you can grab it more easily. After a great build I saw how you pulled on the frame to move it, and I immediately thought, "handles!" And not made of wood, they will hopefully be comparably inexpensive.

Fun and useful. Feel so much better about my mistakes.
we all make them!
Having the right tools makes all the difference. Well done /cheers ScrapBongo
Nice!!!!!!! My wood isn't as organized as the "Before" rickety method - this looks really great.
I've saw a lot of these types of wood storage but I really like this one, I think I might use your design.
That bronc-riding Chuck clip at the end has gotta end up in highlight reel at some point. :D
Chuck is pushing for it
The idea of assorting lumber frees up workshop room. Thanks for detailed information and explanation and I'll carry out this project soon.
Just got the plans and started cutting, got the base cut, and the longest and shortest boards of the a frame so far I did mess up on the cuts of the a frame but I quickly realized after cutting 2 2x4s the smaller pieces are being used for the shorter cuts luckily lol
Built it, love it! Thank you!
This looks perfect for me. I bought the plans! Buuuut man please include metric measurement for all of us in the rest of the world :)
Good job on your rack. Think that’s the one going in my shop 👍👍👍
Great video great woodworking good work. great show.
I like this design. I was just going through all my wood stock yesterday. It's all mixed up, and inaccessible. I'll be making this rack in a few months, once I get some other projects finished.

Great video, thanks
Nice design and build.
I needed this bad! Almost done with mine! Thanks for the idea!! Much better than using all that plywood for one, and I can actually see what I have instead of it being hidden behind plywood panels.. love it.
I'm kind of busy man...........with the perfect beverage. Ok, I'll subscribe.
GREAT build, Brad. I will definitely get a set of your plans and get going on a rack for my shop. My current rack is crudely similar, but fixed against a wall. That means a BUNCH of lost pieces and sections that aren't accessible. I can get by with my current footprint, but the casters give access to all sides. I can likely toss some extra pieces that will never be used. THAT is the part requiring therapy ;)
Great design and video as always! Did a quick check last night and a 2x4x8 is 7.39 at local big box store in PA. Yikes!
That turned out awesome! Love the addition of Chuck, it adds some good laughter.
Gotta break it up somehow
Built me something like that not to long ago. I'm a wood hoarder too. I keep most of mine out back inside a 20' high cube.
I love the idea of using 2x4 instead of sheet wood. I've got a few left from a recent build. Now I know what I'll do with them. Thanks!
Love this build! Need to make it for my shop! Thanks for the tips!
You're welcome!
Thanks for sharing those tips and the make!
You bet!
Great Job!!!! Very Cool!!!! Thank You!!!! 👍😎😃
That part about the "foot clamp" got me haha - I know the right way to do things, but sometimes you are just in a rush and you just do what feels good in that moment. I say it's ok because of "experience" hahahah!
Your videos are always entertaining and informative. Thanks for th idea. It would be great if the plans were scaled for a four foot version, but I might buy the full size and modify them for my shop.
This is awesome! I wish I had room for one of these.
Yes!! Thank you!
Thank you 🙏❤️
Bought the plans a couple months ago. Been slowly building as I have time. My "mistakes were made" moment came when I checked that the assemblies were in the same plane. They are not. My mistake was using a couple 2x4s that were repurposed from a different project. They are badly warped.
Likely buying new ones tomorrow and starting over. Unless anyone has a trick for getting the a frames to line up without being terribly crooked.
Do you consider the thickness of the blade when you set up your Kreg track saw? Nice Project.
no, I cut on the off side, so that the track is lined up right on the cut line. That's the easiest way to be consistent for me
Great video and a really good looking cart, so good it made me order my first ever set of plans. Time to get my shop in order too.
Awesome! Investing in your shop will make working in there more enjoyable!
That Cool!
I didn't know Eric Church was such a carpenter!
Seriously though great job and well crafted video as well as the cart!
Also: I thought you were Eric church for SOLID 15 seconds.
Awesome work, Brad! It's much more clear and organized now! 😃
About the pink foam, it's fantastic for making rc airplanes as well! Unfortunately, I can't find it here in Brazil. 😕
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Oh man, that sounds fun!
@@Fixthisbuildthat It absolutely is! 😃
Search on RUclips for Samm Sheperd's channel. Unfortunately he died in 2018, but the knowledge he left there is priceless!
Nice work sir! Radiata Plywood is rad. I use it for all of my shop projects.
Thanks, JP. Yeah, it's a nice alternative!
Excellent, thanks. Looks really sturdy. I will definitively make one. Thanks for working out all the glitches so we don’t have to!
Outstanding job
AND - great presentation and editing!
Nice work man 👨 awesome storage really thank you
you're welcome!
Awesome look at how it actually goes when building things:)
Also, the pocket holes are nice but unnecessary, it's a shelf for scrap after all. Are for those of you who don't have a track saw rip a piece of ply on your table saw to make sure you have a nice straight edge. Then clamp it to the piece you're working on and use it as a guide for your circular saw. That said invest in a good track saw (I have the festool which is amazing) they are expensive but well worth it if you are making lots of straight cuts. I barely use my joiner since I got my festool. Good luck to everyone
GREAT BUILD!
😁🥰😷
Thanks!
@@Fixthisbuildthat Thanks for the plans. 😁😷
Not sure you'll see this. But your fine cuts at the miter saw made me think of a tool stumpy nubs recommended from one of his "cool tools" segment. I can't remember what it's called. But it was like a third hand. It was basically a tripod with one leg about a foot long. You'd place one foot on your piece and the other two on the base and hold it by the longer leg to keep your hand clear while holding it tight to the fence.
I bought your plans, and I am almost done with this build. I do have a question, which side(s) of the 72" rail strips are you doing the 5-degree bevel on?
As a railroader handling 21 loaded lumber flat cars, 6 boxcars of MDF and 3 boxcars of Plywood a night, 5 nights a week, I feel like I'm transporting tan gold.
@christian - you almost need Secret Service escorts! haha
there's gold in them box cars!
"When the price of 2x4s goes down..." I hope you are right sir!
Me too.
Aren't we all!
@scott - aren't we all. I just checked for my local area (So Cali) and it's $6.85 at the local box store for typical 2x4x96 yikes
The small camera adjustment when you said "adjust it" at 5:52 :)
You sir, have most definitely earned yourself a like, subscribe, follow, and a purchase. Great video, great design, can't wait to get cracking on it!
Welcome aboard!
Nice ride Chuck!
