Hi, like others before me said, we can't access the plans. I made it through with my measurements. I had to watch it a few times on a lower speed to understand better the order but I am pretty happy with how it came out even if I made it with a few leftovers from other projects:)
Great book for a beginner . ruclips.net/user/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ this book really starts from the beginning, as in it explains what basic tools are and how to use them. But when it gets to the art of creating joints and how and when to use them this book really starts to teach you something. At least that was my experience.
That is a perfect cart. I love it. Only thing I'd add is a power strip as I use corded tools rather than cordless. More power, longer run time. Going to build it, maybe with a little higher tire, nobby wheel-casters from HF.
Another terrific video. Thanks! I’ve been a DIY woodworker for several years. Perhaps the biggest lesson I learned is that you do not need a shop full of tools. If I knew then what I know now, I’d have kept my tool collection lean and mean. I’m currently culling my tool collection. Pareto’s principle for tools: I use the same 20% of my tools 80% of the time.
This could not have come at a better time. I just had a woodworking shed built in my backyard and was about to use one of the dressers in a spare room that doesn't get much use as a repurposed Workstation, however it would take up a large portion of wall space. After seeing this video the dresser gets to live on and I will definitely be using these plans instead. Thank you so much
Nice design philosophy. Engineering wise it looks really strong & affordable. Also very user friendly. Ergonomically designed for ease of use. Good hobby for any family
So... another fantastic project. I like how you make things accessible to the beginner. Also, I bet you are really good at tetris, the way you use nooks and crannies. Speed square storage is on another level.
When I decided to do a conlmplete gut job i budgeted for good power tools. As soon as my little green ryobi kit wore out I was going to get some "good" ones. That job, other jobs, 2 years later they still work perfectly. I'll buy another set on sale some time.
Wow. This would be awesome since I don’t have a shop. I can put my tools together roll this outside, and then just clean up and roll it back in the house!
Some great storage ideas here. I’ve just made a portable work bench out of my daughters old dressing table. I’m definitely going to incorporate some of your storage solutions into my Franken-table!
If you installed on on-board plug-in strip, and just plugged the cart into an extension cord, you could have several different kinds of work-stations from this one design. It could be a powered carpenter's workbench, or be a movable printer stand, or, with some better plywood, sanding and paint or stain, it could be a small mobile desk.
I like how thought-out this cart is. The only thing I would have liked to have seen is the use of a different joinery methods other than just butt joints. Butt joints are okay for a beginner, but not for someone who has been a DIYer for some time. I think the only way to perfect joinery methods is to practice them daily, and what better place to experiment than your shop? I do like the idea of having your most often used tools on a cart and will get to designing one for my needs coming up soon. Thanks for the inspiration!!
My Dad was a classically-trained European chef. He taught me the technique of “continuous cleaning” whereby you are constantly looking at the tools and supplies you are using and putting them away once done. This works really well in the shop because things not put immediately away compete for workspace with the stuff you are actually working on. A cart like this makes it easy.
Very cool. Could potentially add some sort of interlocking (or even magnet), and have multiple carts that can connect to create a larger square work surface or long bench for storing away.
Sweet project!! I'll be doing something very similar in my garage over the next few weeks. One thing I would add(as should you) is a little power bar that you could plug in when you move the bench to somewhere else. Also, throw the battery charger on there and you have an entire mobile work station
I don't know if this is on your list of projects you do that you want to do or ones that you need to do to keep this as a professional like you were mentioning in the podcast, but I appreciate all your content. They either make me think about design in different ways or give me jumping off points for projects I plan on doing. Great job!
DUDE!!! Not only a great cart build, but also, a GREAT video!! I don't know if you are part of a Ryobi marketing group or anything like that. But honestly, if you are going to put together videos like this, I don't much care. In fact, I would LOVE it if companies actually did this kind of stuff. I JUST found your channel and I look forward to going through your videos and seeing the projects you do end up building with small amounts of hand power tools. I think it's GREAT!
What a great build! I am very impressed with how much equipment you can put on the cart. I have used Ryobi tools in the past and they really are great.Thanks for sharing this neat idea.
Funny off all your awesome project this one came back to me years later! I was thinking this would be perfect in my garage while i work on the Body of my car prepping for paint. I went to download the pdf plans but the link is no bueno … any chance you can repost the pdf on your website or something ? Would love to whip this up over the weekend. Thanks in advance !
Awesome DIY project. I could easily see this being used in a full shop as well. This is why I had issues with the conference table build. Your channel grew so much on the DIY/maker kind of stuff. Design was definitely there, but I feel like you're one of the top Maker movement faces.
Hold the speed square on the 2x4 with your hand pulling it towards you then run your saw with the perpendicular edge as a guide; this will get you about as close as you can to 90 degrees. This technique will also work to make 45 degree cuts. Just a helpful tip.
In general a nice and beatiful solution. Maybe one thing could be improved in my opinion. You could use so drawers and or sliding doors otherwise all those tools will get dusty and dirty.
These should be the products you're looking for. Large bar clamps: makerbrandco.com/collections/clamp-kits/products/clamp-starter-pack Red metal folding sawhorses: www.amazon.com/TOMAX-Folding-Sawhorse-Adjustable-Capacity/dp/B07FMM751R
Nifty little project, though I would have screwed the Melamine to the top by coming in from underneath. The you could still use the unblemished melamine for something else later on, like concrete or epoxy forms.
Except it is a work surface now... so it won't be "unblemished" when he takes it off. It will be dinged up and have scratches and potentially holes in it also.
Love the built, I do most of my work from a corner of my living room in my apartment. But it's hell to store away all my tools. Let us know when the plans are available, would love to build this. 👊🏿👍🏿
Thanks for another great video Ben! In the middle of the video I was surprised that you blocked some stuff with the clamps and saw horses. That was not what I expected from an Ben-efficiency perspective after hearing this idea grow in the podcast. However I could relaxe later in the video since you anticipated this comment and gave a decent explanation ;) Looking forward to the videos made with the tools on the cart. // Peter
Idk if you read the comments but I was going to suggest a video idea. You should make a luxurious bamboo desk for like work or gaming and that kind of stuff. Hopefully you see this because I feel like that's a good suggestion.
I’m new to using my circular saw so please correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the way you’re supporting both sides of the plywood while cutting incorrect? Doesn’t that increase the potential for kickback? I’d appreciate education in this regard.
here is a link to the plans: www.ryobitools.com/nation/projects/diy-workshop-in-a-single-cart_17119
I cant find in the plans a product list or measurements for precutting wood?
I get a 404 error! All the plan links are broken 😩do you have a link that works please?
Do you have a new link?

This is exactly how we started woodworking! We used to have to roll our cart out into our apartment parking lot. That was a journey!

My husband NEEDS this like yesterday! We have all these tools and it will be awesome to put everything in one place with wheels.
I love this, my Dad was a carpenter and my husband a mechanic, they would both love one of these tailored to their needs! Amazing!!
That is a perfect cart. I love it. Only thing I'd add is a power strip as I use corded tools rather than cordless. More power, longer run time. Going to build it, maybe with a little higher tire, nobby wheel-casters from HF.

Nice, smart and tidy, you are singing my song. Great video and build.
I am so excited about this project. I am going to be designing my shop, and this is going to be a part of it. Thanks so much!
Very nice very smart.
Proof that you don't always need a ton of tools to get the job done.
Building it is the easy part. The hard part would be putting everything away when I'm done with my project.
My Dad was a classically-trained European chef. He taught me the technique of “continuous cleaning” whereby you are constantly looking at the tools and supplies you are using and putting them away once done. This works really well in the shop because things not put immediately away compete for workspace with the stuff you are actually working on. A cart like this makes it easy.
Make labels “skill saw”, “Phillips”, “rags”....
AWESOME cart...awesome project...you have some of the best DIY ideas and builds on RUclips
Very cool. Could potentially add some sort of interlocking (or even magnet), and have multiple carts that can connect to create a larger square work surface or long bench for storing away.
Ryan White three more similar carts to create a bigger work area/table! Possibly pegs and holes on the sides on join/connect or magnets like ou said
Bob over at @Iliketomakestuff did that. Has a video on it too
Sweet project!! I'll be doing something very similar in my garage over the next few weeks. One thing I would add(as should you) is a little power bar that you could plug in when you move the bench to somewhere else. Also, throw the battery charger on there and you have an entire mobile work station
Great idea Vance... where do you think is the best location for the power bar?
I don't know if this is on your list of projects you do that you want to do or ones that you need to do to keep this as a professional like you were mentioning in the podcast, but I appreciate all your content. They either make me think about design in different ways or give me jumping off points for projects I plan on doing. Great job!
Well thought out, and such a simple build. This would definitely kick start any DIYer's productivity.
When are the plans coming out?

Amazing idea for us that do not have as much floor space,plus organizing them all. What about your air hoses,extension cords, masks?

One of the most useful projects I ever seen!

Nice job, and it’s really cool of you to offer the plans for free, love this channel.
BEAUTIFUL AND HANDY
Ryobi has a rack that holds all of their bit sets, you could attach that and open up the shelf for other tools/ supplies
Amazingly Useful Cart!
nice little Cart you could have made something similar perhaps faster using Pocket hole joinery which is plenty strong enough for shop furniture
So many cool ideas in this video.
In general a nice and beatiful solution. Maybe one thing could be improved in my opinion. You could use so drawers and or sliding doors otherwise all those tools will get dusty and dirty.
Simple and practical design.
Still looking every day for the plans 😊 really wanna build this and just really want to know the dimensions of the timber and boards to buy really

I love this so much I don’t even care that I’d literally have to put it in my dining room or beside my bed to make it happen. ❤️ 🔨
Pop some curtains on the side and it could work as a buffet in the dining room.
@@niteflitetheknitter haha noice!!!
The most effective DIY video i have ever seen.
Did you put the plans on yet? My husband wants to cut all the pieces so I can build it for my birthday 😍
www.ryobitools.com/nation/projects/diy-workshop-in-a-single-cart_17119
I need to make this!
Instead of freehanding the short cross cuts with the circular saw, use the speed square as a fence to get nice straight cuts.
Can you provide links or brand names for large clamps and saw horses?
These should be the products you're looking for.
Large bar clamps: makerbrandco.com/collections/clamp-kits/products/clamp-starter-pack
Red metal folding sawhorses: www.amazon.com/TOMAX-Folding-Sawhorse-Adjustable-Capacity/dp/B07FMM751R

Amazing project!!
Slick and efficient! Thanks for posting.
Nifty little project, though I would have screwed the Melamine to the top by coming in from underneath. The you could still use the unblemished melamine for something else later on, like concrete or epoxy forms.
Good point!!
i bet when he reads your comment, he'll be like... "omg, obviously, what was i thinking !!"
Except it is a work surface now... so it won't be "unblemished" when he takes it off. It will be dinged up and have scratches and potentially holes in it also.
Could mount a kraft paper roll dispenser to one short side (above the sandpaper bin), protect the melamine surface some when finishing.
This is exactly what I need! Any idea when the plans will be available please?
I've been checking back twice a day to see if the plans are out yet 🙃
