Plans or pictures of a Stock Cart
Any one have any good plans to share for a stock cart similar to the one
Norm built on episode # 0603? Would you make the shelves adjustable or in a fixed position? Thanks for your help |

You really don't need plans for something like this. I used fixed shelves, you want it to be solid. My philosophy with things for the shop is scraps and pocket screws first, ask questions later. I made mine with shelves sized 24"x16" which allowed me to get 3 shelves out of one piece of 2'x4' melamine, I have a 4th shelf at the bottom from scrap ply. I have about 11" from the top of a shelf to the bottom of the rail above it. The size works for me, small enough to get anywhere in my shop. I like the melamine because I do small glue-ups on it, the glue pops off the melamine easily. |

I was not trying to start a ****ing contest!
I read this group every day and get great ideas or tips from many of the good contributors. To bad they didn't show up today. Buying the plan was not the issue. Many times Norm's or anyone else's shop tools or jigs have been improved upon by many of you. I was just seeking your advise for a "better mousetrap". I thought that's what this group did was share ideas or show off completed projects. To all of you with the money/plans issues, you call yourselves woodworkers? You have been inhaling too much sawdust. Anyone can snipe from the outside but it takes a craftsperson to share their experience or help someone. Thanks to the two who did give a decent reply. wrote in message ...

Jeeze, a guy comes to us to ask for links to plans. He gets one
referral and a page or two of crap. I saw the thread [Today's most active topics:] and thought "I'll take a look, maybe there will be some fresh ideas or interesting solutions referenced." Such a disappointment. And this one one of the "most active" threads! If your friend or neighbor came over and asked you where he could find plans or ideas for a stock cart/storage system, would you help or give him grief? And, if you simply don't have anything positive or informative or helpful, can't you simply restrain your compulsive need to respond and move on to the next post? http://www.woodworkersworkshop.com/l...rage_racks.php Free Woodworking Plans - Lumber Storage Racks (return) # Lumber Cart Rack and Panel cuttter (PDF) This is a very smart solution. It combines the storage capacity of a mobile lumber storage cart and utilizes the side of the cart for panel cutting. ShopNotes Magazine May 2008 Issue 99. # Bed, Single - 2x4 lumber I needed an extra bed in my old house for one of the tenants. Rather than buy something, I decided to just build a bed out of construction lumber. # Rack, Lumber by Grant Smith - I made up a lumber rack capable of storing over 1000 bd ft of lumber for around $200 about two years ago. It is made up of ½’ black iron pipe for shelves and 4x4x10’ lumber for the uprights. As an added bonus, it also features sheet stock storage behind it. The unit is an A-frame affair that partially leans on a wall. It is scalable so you can decide how long you want to make it. The design allows easy sorting and browsing of lumber from the side. # Rack, Lumber - Sheet Goods Host David Thiel creates a storage rack for tall sheet goods. # Rack, Lumber This example of a lumber rack is made with one-inch diameter galvanized pipe. The rack stores hardwood boards and sheets of plywood. You can screw the lumber rack into a permanent spot in your shop, or add casters so you can move it around where you need. # Rack, Lumber Cart - Sheet Goods The sheet goods cart has several features, including a kickstand to steady the cart when it’s not moving. It has a handle attached to the back of a large sheet of 3/4 inch plywood to control the cart when pushing. It also has two fixed caster that work like a skate. A wooden lip keeps the sheet goods from sliding off the front of the cart. # Stand, Lumber Host David Thiel is joined by a viewer from Denver, who offers a great idea for making a stand that holds long pieces of lumber. # Rack, Lumber Cart - Roll Around Plywood Let the wheels do the work with our simple but effective plywood- toting runabout. |

"Lew Hodgett" wrote in message I don't buy plans anymore. I can look at something or perhaps get a little advice and then draw my own plans if needed and then build it. Think that is known as being a mooch in my part of the world. Then you're completely full of **** Lew. There isn't a person alive who does woodwork that hasn't taken someone's else's idea and modified a version for his own use. You build a chair, a table whatever, it's design is based exactly or loosely on some other person's design that you've seen. The only difference between me and you is that I don't lie about it while you're completely full of crap. Trying to use design plans the the designer clearly offers for sale to build a single unit without paying for them is very simply the theft of intellectual property. I guess you've never done a history assignment in school. That's where you read what someone else has written and then say it again in your own words. With your warped thinking, I'd guess you'd classify that as plagiarism. Would that be correct Lew? You state you are a tech writer. What is your position if someone were to plagurize your work, then sell it without compensating you? Quite obviously, you don't have a clue about the legalities of being a technical writer. A technical writer usually takes legally obtained information given to him or researched by him and rewrites it at the comprehension and interest level for a particular audience. Since the information is owned from beginning to end by the client, he's free to do with what's been written as he pleases including copying, rewriting and distributing it ~ even if it's information created entirely by me. I know for certain fact that information I've previously written has been rewritten, updated and changed a number of times by successive technical writers. And you know what Lew? I'm perfectly fine with that because it's the nature of the business. Interesting observation; however will consider it for what it is IBS (Intellectual BULL ****). Possibly, however your response is just BULL **** without any intelligence to back it up. available, I prefer to spend my money on important stuff like the alcohol I buy every week which is considerably costlier then some simple plans. That seems obvious. The alcohol comment was intended to be funny. Obviously, you wouldn't find it so because you appear to have your humour up your ass where you apparently have also placed your head. Dave |

And since over the years I've seen a number of your own comments exchanging information and ideas, you'd be included with everybody else. How do you explain that? |

You either did not understand the above statement or you are crazy. If you see a piece of furniture in a store or a magazine and decide to make something close to it, that is not stealing. Every time you make a simple box do you send a royalty to the designer of the original box? I've copied many an item where there were no plans available. I've measured pieces on display in a store to get some idea of proportion. Two years ago I made a chaise lounge for $200 that rivals the $1000 one I saw in a store. They offered no plans. Who do I pay if I decide to make an Adirondack chair from scratch? If you open a set of plans on the rack at Woodcraft and copy it, yes, that is stealing. |

Maybe bothG If you see a piece of furniture in a store or a magazine and decide to make something close to it, that is not stealing. Agreed. Isn't that the way most of the NYW projects start out? They find an antique piece on display in a gallery, take some pictures and measurements, then sit down and generate a set of working drawings based on that field trip. Generating a set of engineering documents based on an existing model that is in the public domain is done every day and certainly isn't stealing. Take those drawings that are clearly now for sale and modify them to make your own version without buying the drawings is a totally different matter. I've copied many an item where there were no plans available. I've measured pieces on display in a store to get some idea of proportion. Sounds like you and Norm should make a field trip togetherG. Two years ago I made a chaise lounge for $200 that rivals the $1000 one I saw in a store. They offered no plans. Again, you created value by developing your own design based on public domain information. Who do I pay if I decide to make an Adirondack chair from scratch? Depends on whether you use a commerical plan or develop your own set of plans. If you open a set of plans on the rack at Woodcraft and copy it, yes, that is stealing. Precisely the point. Lew |

Fair Use Doctrine would not be applicable. What is applicable is that what he makes from a picture is not going to be an exact copy of the original. For some intellectual property, infringement does not require exact duplication. "Terminator" violated Harlan Ellison's copyrights on one or more stories with very different details. For furniture, IIRC, infringement does require exact or nearly exact duplication. Otherwise copyright would have long ago expired on every basic piece of furniture as ,many chairs, tables, dressers, desks, etc are much like others. And please, _information_ per se is not protected by copyright. -- FF |

If you look at the original question, I never asked for a copy of Norm's
drawing. I asked for ideas for a stock cart and referenced the one Norm built as a way to describe what I was looking for. You got so narrow minded on your perception of somebody getting something copyrighted. Tell me you have never asked anyone for help. You were born with all skills needed? What a load of crap! You got information from others and used it to better yourself or what you where building. Let's hear you explain that???? Look at all of the good ideas many people contribute like Morris who posts pictures as well and others. What is the purpose of this newsgroup if not a place to discuss our enjoyment of working with work and sharing ideas?? "Lew Hodgett" wrote in message news:Bh5tk.858$p72.767@trnddc05...

Would you make the shelves adjustable or in a fixed position? You really don't need plans for something like this. I used fixed shelves, you want it to be solid. My philosophy with things for the shop is scraps and pocket screws first, ask questions later. I made mine with shelves sized 24"x16" which allowed me to get 3 shelves out of one piece of 2'x4' melamine, I have a 4th shelf at the bottom from scrap ply. I have about 11" from the top of a shelf to the bottom of the rail above it. The size works for me, small enough to get anywhere in my shop. I like the melamine because I do small glue-ups on it, the glue pops off the melamine easily. Although I'm not known for decent replies, check out the pictures of my sheetgoods and cutoffs cart athttp://tomeshew.spaces.live.com/ They're in the workshop album. It's kinda like the carts at the borg, where the center casters are a little proud of the plane that the end casters describe, so it can pivot around pretty tightly. G'luck. Tom Tom: Nice shop. . .thanks for sharing. Smitty You're welcome. Thank you. Tom |
