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.
Art
---------
Mine is similar to this one
http://www.shopnotes.com/issues/055/...und-store-all/
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.

This is the one Art referred to:

This combined a panel-cutting jig from Issue 48 (not on-line) as an option.

55 w/option looks like the best bet for me.

I recently built this cart and it is really nice, holds a ton of stuff
in a surprisingly small space.

I used Sketchup using the freely downloadable specifications at the site
above. One thing I changed though is I used 2 casters in the middle
with one on each end. I think thats better as it gives support in the
middle, and each end of the rack. I used 3/4 ply for the base, and OSB
for the sides and a couple of the shelves because I'm a cheap SOB.

This is a good project to use sketchup on if you are looking for an
excuse to sharpen your sketchup skills...
