Here's a rolling cart for storing lumber, plywood, and other sheet goods in your workshop. I made this to take up as little space as possible, yet hold a lot of wood.

Unfortunately the link to the plans is dead now but from the comments and some details from the video I was able to get enough detail to create my own plans. Finished mine tonight. While the footprint is close to the same as the pile of wood, I can maneuver it and access everything that was in the pile WAY easier. Huge win. Plus it was my first time trying dados with a router so that was a good experience. Overall, love this thing and your videos are very helpful.
Thanks, Steve. I built this in three hours on a Friday night, and I'm not exactly the most skilled woodworker. Any beginner considering tackling this project should go for it.
Two tips: Use six wheels instead of four. Also, you'll end up with triangle scraps from the bracing on one side. Use two of these triangles as braces on the other side to strengthen the sheet goods storage brace. It works perfectly.
I also made this over the weekend and my wife is so happy that our garage is now more organized. Love watching your video's and getting new ideas. Thanks.
I have been following your videos for a couple years now. With this new camera and the added lights your videos look a lot more "professional" or "production" like. Not saying they were bad before but just acknowledging that you have raised the bar. Good job on the quality and as always good job on the content. Thanks for the videos Steve.
I love watching this guy...real world unscripted humorous and practical vids. Refreshing to not have splicing scenes which end with work pieces precut and the real beginner hurdles actually addressed on film throughout the process. Keep up the good and educating videos, as a beginner garage woodworker you have been very usefull!
That's Awesome! Did you take pictures as you where building this?
My shop is a 1 car garage. We built this cart over the last couple days. Building your rolling cart for the planer, router table and a couple other tools over the weekend. This is going to be wonderful for my limited space. I'll be able to roll them out of the shop if I need the room. Thank you so much, for these videos and plans. You have helped me SO much with my kitchen remodel.
One day, i'll have a friggin workshop. And it will have a TV with your videos in a loop, 24/7.
You and me both, brotha.
I've done it!... I finally got one!! somebody just gave me a 32" TV. All I need now is a workshop - Great trolley cart, be first on my list - gluck everyone x
Hi Steve, I made the lumber truck soon after you issued the video. This has given me a better storage of the wood and released some space for my chop saw trolley. I regret leaving out the shelving and one divider but it works. The weight on my small casters makes it hard to move and so I will put on larger casters. Thank you.

Steve. Something I appreciate about your videos aside from the plans, info and tips is the simple fact that you keep things lively and therefore I don't fall asleep.
I appreciate your work.
Thanks for posting Steve. I am a disabled Veteran than was in serious need of a hobby that isnt to physically demanding due to being forced into retirement from my injuries. Took your advice after seeing one of your videos about beginning woodworking that said its a great hobby that isnt to demanding physically. My wife and I both love watching your videos by the way. She is great at helping out in the shop and she wants to learn how to make things so its win win for me! I was in need of a better way to store my scrap and project wood besides stashing it under work benches or leaning it in corners. So I built a cart based on your design. Now I know what I have on hand and see a few projects that can be made without a trip to the lumber yard. I had way more wood than I realised and can easily find it now. Thanks again you inspired me into a new hobby and its one the wife approves of!
that was a remarklbly direct, simple description of what u did in detail, without boring us showing too much or too little.. put together very well.. i'm going to build one when i get the opportunity..
Hi Steve, John here in Las Vegas. I am a custom woodworker/handyman and I just finished your design of a lumber rack. I made mine 78" long and I wish now I would hvae gone to 84 -88" or so. I do store full size plywood sheets for a while and boy is it ever easier than putting them up over your garage door (like you) like I used to. Next thing I need to make is one of those carts that lifts the sheet up so you can put it on the cutting grid or saw horses without lifting them. My grid (first trial) is 3" strips of OSB boards cut in a torsion box grid style to cut a 4x8 sheet on so you don't have to worry about pieces falling off on the ground. Just cut thru and everything stays put. Should have done it years ago. I get so many great ideas from you guys who actually make the videos. So thanks and keep up the great work. Soon to be is a modified Jay Bates style miter saw station that I am putting my Bosch 8.25" miter saw and a Delta 12" radial arm saw side by side on. I am redoing my dust collection system to a little bigger size and will incorporate that into the station. Again, thanks.
I've been into woodworking a few years now I should say and I remember it was after watching a couple of your older videos that inspired me to do what I do today. After destroying many projects and millions of dollars later I learned to become decent at it. I love your sense of humor on questioning your ability to get a screw in right or lining something up even. Idk how long you've been doing it but I'm sure you've forgotten more than most will know. You've been a inspiration to many and I can say you're one of the greats! Thanks for the wealth of knowledge you shared with the woodworking community. We appreciate it.
Hey Steve. About 6 months ago i was just a clumsy guy in my dad's barn. This video inspired me to clean up the place and make some shop furniture in the proces. Now I really enjoy making things for the same reasons you do. You gave me a hobby during the weekend and that's more then I ever expected from an American. Thanks!
Loved the cart so much, very nice solution for my problem.
"Found" myself a big steel undercarriage , about the size I needed, and build myself almost the same cart. Mine is a bit bigger, I used the complete length of the plywood sheets. I love it, every sheet of mdf, plywood, hardboard has it's place now. No more "tears" when I need the bottom sheet in a pile of wood.
Keep up the good work.
Chris (from Belgium)
Steve. Thanks. Can you imagine the generations of people all over the world that will learn from you? I'm grateful. Keep on posting.
After a lot of mismeasuring and buggering up my dados with newbie router mistakes, I've manage to construct a passable simulacrum of this fine rack. Many thanks, Steve, for showing us all that "We Can"!
Starting watching your videos last year and you really inspired me to start woodworking. In June 2022, I began my woodworking journey and this past weekend, I duplicated your lumber storage cart for my workshop. It looks great! Wish I could upload a photo. Thank you for being a positive inspiration and helping me find a new hobby I can enjoy for years to come. BUILD WITH A THRILL!!
I just finished your lumber cart following your plans. WOW! It's more than I expected. I used 4" casters so it would roll easier and added 1 1/4" to the width of the shelves, still leaving me with 6" depth for sheet storage. It took 3 sheets of 3/4 plywood (with about half sheet left), 2 of AC for the parts that show and one of CD for the shelves and bottom. You have a fantastic Chanel, keep up the good work.
Great lumber cart! I built mine yesterday. Some comments that might help the next person - (1) I used 2.5 sheets of 4x8 & had 2 cut to 48", and one cut to the 30" base on the panel saw at the lumber yard. Just made it easier for me. (2) Mine is on a 2x4 base including a center support. Very solid! (3) Assembling by myself was doable, but another pair of hands would have really helped. (4) This does hold a ton of wood. I could have made it more narrow &/or dedicated more room for sheet goods (5) You may want to vary the width for the cutoff boxes. From as narrow as 6 inches up to 18 inches.
THANK YOU! I love Steve's videos... But, I really wish his video/plans had a 'buy' list! This was great. Thx!
Thanks a ton! I saved the plans before they disappeared, but I didn't want to go through the pain of templating this all out before templating stuff out from the plans to figure out how many sheets.
After taking down a wheelchair ramp for a friend of mine, I had a good deal of half inch sheet, and regular lumber. It was all sitting on my carport floor where I was worried about it getting wet. But I saw this video and decided to make myself a version of your storage cart and it worked beautifully. I did end up using six 2" casters instead of four, and i made it wide enough to have ten 1'x1' upright storage bins instead of five. Thank you for the idea, keep up the good work! Ive been a Me-Mo for a while now and I love the videos!
I just built this, as it is a perfect fit for under my basement stairs. I'm starting my second year of projects, and of woodworking in general, as I build my first shop in the basement of our new log cabin home in Vermont. I learned a lot in this build, first use of a router, first angle cut, first use of brad nailer. Lots of fun! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this and the free plans. You are an excellent woodworker and teacher. This looks like the smartest design I have found. I look forward to helping my husband build this in the fall when we clean our our garage and build a hobby wood shop.😁
Just done a reorg of the shed. And now I need a lumber rack. Well done I love your videos and have a smile as im watching. I will label one of the sections as FIRE WOOD.
Again I love the open and honest video.
I built one 26 years ago from the necessity to store 30 mahogany veneer plywood sheets and the Mahogany pieces, and also a separate place for the pookey sticks, a stick used for separating sheets for aligning on contact cement. I've had the whole piece clamped to a furniture dolly so I can roll it around. You did a great job! And you can move it around.
First the clamps organizer and now the scrap wood organizer? Steve you are always a must watch but these two projects couldn't have come at a better time. Thanks for all you do brother.
This cart was a perfect project for a few days off work over the holidays! between your recommendations here and the more recent video about dealing with full sheets of plywood, my garage has become a much more efficient wood working space!
Used your concept, personalized it for my needs and to maximize my scrap lumber. I was being buried by scraps too good for landfill or the wood burning stove. And yes, I did toss the unburnable, "what was I thinking when I saved this osb?"
As you enter your "elderly " years, you will develop a gift for working smarter.
But based on the way you handled the cart on your pickup, you may not need to worry about it...
Great concept. Great plans! This project takes two and a half sheets of plywood. For the half sheet that supports plywood cutoffs, I used 1/2" and connected the bottom with pocket screws. I'm going to park it along the garage door to take advantage of it's so-called un-useable wall space and scoot it out of the way when I need to use the door.
Thank you sir. I made it almost identical but with pocket has instead of dados. Pretty sturdy. Also used cleats for the shelves.
Just finished my cart tonight and loaded it up. Learned some things and picked up the Kreg Rip Cut, always a necessity to get a new tool for a project. I thought about getting an F150 to use as a supplemental work bench, but my wife wouldn't go along with that one. Thanks for a great project.
Your creation is living on, Just finished your storage cart today with a slight modification (I didn't angle the dividers for the vertical bins and ran a 1x2 across the top front) Thank You for the inspiration!
Just bought a home with a detached garage that is destined to be my tool shop. This video was inspirational. Thanks!
On your dadoes, pre-drill through from the inside and you don't need to draw lines on the backside.
Thanks... why didn't I think of that?
I
I was thinking of that as he pre drilled the second lot lol
Steve, I absolutely love this, I will be making this soon for my temporary tiny shop. I have stuff standing against walls everywhere!
I want to thank you for sharing what you do. You show that anybody can make anything, no matter what skill level you are at, or what tools you have available.
I know you love reading comments, I want you to prove it! Mention me in your next video haha!
Again thanks for all you do.

Awesome job of explaining the reasoning behind your design as well as assembly. I've seen many similar design examples, but none of them addressed assembly or compact size.
Love the way you keep things basic, practicle and fun in your videos. I may be an engineer by day, but on the weekends I'm a smiple 'handy-man hack" with wood. Thanks for the laughs and the friendly motivation to try our hand at having fun.
I made mine a few years ago and it works great. 2 things I changed. 1) I built the base of 2x4 framework and glad I did. 2) After the fact, I went back and put a support pc under each shelf on the non-dado side. The glue and screw wasn’t enough when I overloaded it.
Also, I am going to put a handle on each side. When I have a lot of 8 footers on it, it is tough to maneuver.
Revisited this because I just emptied it and will reload in prio order and throw out what doesn’t fit. After cleaning up the mice nests and poop..,
Use very good casters with brakes. If you build this right, you’ll have it forever. Spend the money.
Thanks for the tips and humor. It helps to see others try new stuff that I haven't gotten to.
Hello Steve, I've been watching for a while and have done a few of your projects for myself like the table saw sled, and bookcase. This one took a weekend for me to put together and I was able to make it with pieces I had in my garage shop.
Even with all of the storage and using the wood to build the cart, I still have wood left over. Time to make more projects, and get rid of hoarded wood!
Thanks for producing these videos, and please keep making them.
I tried this today. worked pretty good. Thanks! First time i ever used a router for dadoes. Loved it.
I just made this. I shrunk the base down and adjusted the middle shelves accordingly. It fits better in my shop space. I was able to do it out of 2 x 3/4 plywood.
I agree with the suggestion to paint the osb, it really does help reflect more light and looks less cluttered. Love the storage cart!
i get to say you are not just wood hobby person. you get "brian" thanks for sharing your idea and make life more interesting...
all the best. happy summer.!
I finally got around to building this today. I used all my scrap wood from other projects. It's doesn't look as pretty as yours, but it turned out really nice and it holds so much! Thank you for sharing this!
I just finished building this for my garage and WOW. Holds an incredible amount of wood. Definitely a great design. Sadly, mine doesn't look as good but it serves the purpose. Thanks for sharing your plans!
Got all the pieces cut and mostly assembled. Can hardly wait to try mine out. Thank you for the plans.
2022 is coming to the end and this video is very inspiring to me.
Thanks Steve for making this project. I designed many versions of this some are of steel some are of wood
Your stuff, so cool!
This was a lot of fun to build, as a beginning woodworker. Helps keep my shop area less cluttered too!
hey Steve im 13 and i really like your videos your the person who inspired me into woodworking now im quite good i build alot of things now and in my woodworking class im the top student with 8a at the moment and with just started building somthing like what you have made in this video so im going to build this and bring it in i hope my teacher likes it cheers Steve your amazing.
Link to free plan not working
Love it! Love your humor! Loved the trick using the wood clamp to keep the shelf upright.
You are my favorite woodworking channel!! Thank you for all your videos
I've seen lots of your videos. Almost all of the them and I have to say, this is probably your best video. Produced very well and straight to the point. You should be very proud and pleased. Great stuff! Keep em' goin.
Very nice. I chuckle at your man handling large projects because it reminds me of myself. Keep up the great work.
steve i just wanted to say ty for these videos.. they have given me some great ideas to help my fathers shop for a clutter free and some ideas for gifts.. ty so much for this
AWESOME! I am just getting ready to move into our brand new house, where I will have a roughly 17' x 22' half of the basement for my new woodshop. I will definitely be building this wood organizer and I know exactly where it is going to be stationed. Thank you.
Awesome project! I made one that is 5 feet long by 2 feet wide and added holes on the bottom of the bins to make it easier to vacuum out the sawdust.
This is in my opinion one of the best wood storage carts. Its the perfect size that I need cause im the same way with not storing full sheets very long. Im in the process of building this now and its coming along pretty well. Thanks for the video.
Damn Steve you genius. I've seen a few builds but they seem way too overkill. This is simple and while I was going to make a full sheet cart, your reasoning for a half sheet cart hits home. You just saved me some shop space :D
Same age as me... Thanks for all the great uploads. Am I the only one who wishes your episodes were at least half an hr long? lol Who knew wood could be so good (free catchphrase alert) Looking forward to the next instalment. Long may you continue!
You have great instructional videos.
I also like the little bit of humor you throw in... lets see if anything died back here, etc.
Thanks for taking time to share your knowledge and tips.
With your situation I might have raised the rear plywood shelf so it sat over the concrete block and been tighter to the wall. Great tips and solutions on how to build and design my own version. Thanks for the inspiration.
Iam from the Donachie clan which is a sept of clan Robertson one of the oldest if not thee oldest clans in Scotland :D Ive got a few short videos of a couple of my drives around Scotland a few years ago in my videos. I live in Glasgow which is more or less classed as central Scotland area. Ive been working through your videos for the past 2 weeks now, ive stared making the mallet, ive got the head and shaft near ready, just need to fit together now.
I just finished building this storage cart. It's great. Thanks a lot!
That is an awesome design that has mobility, storage for multiple sizes of lumber and plywood. Really superb. Going to build something very similar. Thank you for the ideas, you really are a great help with your videos.
Great Idea for the half cart. Most shops won't be able to fit a 8 foot cart. Great job with the simple design.
Steve, great job, the best I found on the net. I'm in the process of building it now. I do wish it was a bit longer, but I was too lazy to change the dimensions. Thanks again. Mark
It's 2021 and I'm still watching and loving this project.
Love this lumber rack! Built it last week and is perfect for my garage workshop
I enjoy your videos and appreciate your pragmatic approach to your projects...thanks for posting them!
That's awesome - thank you very much for the free plan - I'd be lost without it. Have been looking for a solution for my 'wood pile in the corner' issue. Big thumbs up.
you are very natural in teaching
I don't know how many times my wife has asked me "How are you going to do that by yourself?" when I'm trying something similar to you tipping the cart down into your truck. I have often replied exactly as you did "We'll see how it goes!"
Great cart design, I'm going to make one for myself soon. Thanks for all the great videos.
Dan Jenkins did you build a cart yet? Lol I'm building mine right now.
Dan Jenkins Build wall racks for wood storage
I built this in school lol
Built this just last week. It's super sturdy and exactly what I needed. Thanks for the plans. You're videos awesome! You got a subscriber for life.
one of the best videos I've seen on RUclips straight to the point thank you
Wow! I have been gone from ww'ing for over a year and am just now begining to get back to it. You vid's have gotten very well made! Great job Steve!
Your videos are now so good they are tv show worthy.... Go for it!!
I wish I had never seen this video Steve... I have 4 caster wheels that have been kicking around in my shop and my scrap wood situation is a little worse than yours (was). Now I have to build one of these brilliant storage carts. There are so many other things that I want to build however. I'm getting tired of building things before I can build the things that I need to build in order to build things tha I want to build. Guess I better get off the computer and build this....
Man I know that struggle! I spend more time building my shop than using my shop to build!
Did you build the things?
It's so true and I thought I was alone in the struggle. (No one fights alone. lol) I thought I could bang out a killer prototype right quick, get to selling them, then upgrade my space as I went. Problems with that theory 1) Wife fussing about general mess the basement has become 2) more fussing about dust tracked through house 3) Lack of organization which costs time in the long run.
You're not alone. I inherited some old power saws from my FIL's wood shop that needed some 'love' so I built dust collection housing for them along with new table top and stand for the RAS then started building a French cleat system near my workbench then figured out I needed more lighting and outlets on the workbench then.......... So in 7 months of retirement I haven't really even gotten my shop sorted out yet. But I enjoy the time working at it!
Ain't it the truth!
I've been looking at a lot of different lumber storage ideas and this one is my favorite, thanks for posting.
This will be perfect for my new shop. I'll have a seldom-used garage door that will be a perfect place to scoot this rack. Thanks a bunch!
I just completed my cart..thanks Steve it works great.
Steve, just watched this video for first time, I am so going tomorrow and pick up the material for this build. Love it! Thanks
That is awesome, dude. I am an old gramma learning woodworking with pallets.
Thanks for the realization that I too never keep a full sheet of plywood around. I built the cart a couple of months ago. Nice idea and techniques.
I made this! I recommend a couple holes just to let water or dust or dirt out of the floor of each section.
Thanks for the video, Steve - I built my storage cart modeled after your design - saves a ton of space!
Another great video Steve. They all make great sense but ACCIDENTS DO HAPPEN so best to avoid as much as possible. Thanks!
You are very inspiring! Please don't ever stop!
Thanks for the details including the cut list and plans on your website, just finished building this today!
2020 is going over but I still like to see this every now and then.
Steve, the lumber rack is a great idea. I've been struggling with what o do in my shop. I never even thought about making it mobile. Great design too. I'm making one right away. Thanks, Chuck
i love this guy he's very entertaining and all his video are fun to watch and i'm very addicted to his video
Built one, but had to shave off 5" to fit the garage. 2.5 less wide on compartments and 2.5 less wide on shelves. Thanks for the plan!
Need a video of what to make with two goofed up bases. I need the experience with my dado cutting anyway. Third time was the charm. Thanks Steve!
OK, having watched this video I now know that I really need to do this myself, I also collected over the years many pieces of wood and they're all over the place. Thanks for another great video!
Ha I buy my plywood at the BB stores 4 x 8 sheets and plug my saw into my Poweerbooster F150 at the trail gate . Love it. If in a hurry I let them do it in house
Nice video Steve! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
a helper to get those boards down, before you fall off thstbladder.you have great ideas and simple instructions for us hewbie wood workers.
I made this! thanks for the design and helpful video and assembly steps!
