Built this several ago. It works great but not sure I'd consider it, "compact". I've got a decent size shop but it eliminates 8 feet of wall space from floor to ceiling. (I think vertical designs are better if you're limited on wall space and have the ceiling height.) I'd also ignore the cleats on the back meant to hold sheets for cutting. In 8 years, I've never used this feature and the cleats only serve to push the cart further from the wall. I'd still recommend the cart though if you have the room. Great for full sheets and can store a ton of offcuts.
Nice design! Doesn't use 5 sheets of plywood to accomplish the same job, like some designs out there. Plus, first such video I've seen that addresses bowing in the dimensional lumber. Compact, useful, space-saving, and well-thought-out.
I built this cart with two changes: I biased the middle support away from the middle enough to fit a 60"x60" sheet of Euro sheet goods on one side of the back. So the support was 60.5" from one side and 33.25" from the other side. I reinforced the connections between the spanning 2x4s and the uprights with cleats made from scraps. I left the cleats off the back side so it could fit a little tighter against the garage wall. I have other places to do initial breakdown of sheet goods.
Great idea! Thank you for sharing! Many blessings to you and your family! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Is there a shopping list available as I'm unsure what pieces are being cut from existing lumber. Thanks
Twice he mentioned clamping plywood and cutting it on this cart. I was hoping to see a demonstration.
Great plan! I'm saving this one. You guys are so good at these videos. Love watching them...
