Default Rolling lumber/sheet goods cart

g.com...
Anyone have a good plan (preferably free...) or a good place to look
for a plan for one of these puppies? There were a couple in ShopNotes.
The materials lists and cutting guides are free, but I can't figure out
where all the parts go. One had a pretty nifty set up for cutting
panels out of 4x8' sheets (bit less expensive, less-accurate, and less
space-consuming than the ones you see at HD or Lowe's).


There was a thread mid last Sept on this subject("sheet storage") and
another at the end of Oct("sheet storage - flat vs on-edge"). Both had
many good posts. Google it.
One of mine is repeated below.

Mine is similar to this one

and I have had no warping issues at all with the sheet goods I have on it.
Like you I bought some HD $25 sheets a couple of years ago and the
remaining ones are still in great shape.
On my cart I used both sides for sheet goods and made the center A
frame narrower in width as I wasn't planning on storing much in it anyway.
I used 5/8" BC which was warped to begin with as it was what I had on
hand. After assembly everything was nice and flat. The ends of the A,
and the 2" holes in the top, provide plenty of space for clamping stored
sheets to it to keep them flat. I can send you some pics if you want.
I'll be adding a panel cutting jig to one side but that is still in the planning
stage right now.
