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

Any reason you don't want to just get the plans from Norm?

Obviously, he'd prefer not to spend the money. I know you're a smart person,
but smart-ass answers like yours above only serve to make you look stupid.

Looking in the mirror I see.

BTW, if the cost of a set of plans represents a serious cost
component, you are probably involved in the wrong activity.

Yeah, me too. OTOH, a couple of hours (or evenings) with the CAD package
usually gives me something I like better than the original...

In the past, I have purchased several NYW plans.

Have found them to be well documented and for less than $10, well
worth the cost; however, have never felt the need to buy the video
that is an option.

I am astonished at how nasty the tone on here can get without
even involving me.

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. But, since
you appear to have an excess of money and don't mind throwing you money
around without consideration, then feel free to buy some plans for the OP.
I'm sure he will appreciate it.

And it's not a matter of being a serious cost component. The choice being
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.

Think that is known as being a mooch in my prt of the world.

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.

You state you are a tech writer.

What is your position if someone were to plagurize your work, then
sell it without compensating you?

Interesting observation; however will consider it for what it is IBS
(Intellectual BULL ****).

That seems obvious.

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?

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.

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.

Although I'm not known for decent replies, check out the pictures of
my sheetgoods and cutoffs cart at http://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

NO, just looking for free engineering.

Since this drawing shows three different projects for the price of
one, you win.

BTW, the roller guide is probably the "sleeper" project of the group.

MAN, YOU ARE ONE FULL OF CRAP BULL**** ARTIST!
This entire newsgroup is an exchange of information, suggestions and ideas.
By your stunted criteria, you could accuse the entire readership of this
group as seeking free engineering. 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?

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??
