Looking for a better storage solution for all your offcuts?
Get organized and build this compact mobile lumber storage cut made from a single sheet of plywood.
It features 3 different depths of cubbies for various lengths of wood. The back cubbies are extra deep for long boards. Use the space at the bottom to store boards horizontally or add plastic bins to keep small scraps organized.
Dimensions: 28” wide x 24” deep x 30” tall (excluding casters).
Tools: simple assembly using regular wood screws. Recommended tools include a track saw or circular saw with homemade guide rail, as well as a router and straight bit. See all the recommended tools and materials in the written article here.
Materials: all you’ll need for this build is a single sheet of 3/4-inch plywood, 4 inch casters, plastic bins (optional), and screws.
These downloadable plans include 12 pages of information including: detailed cutting diagrams (including rough cuts that can be made at the store for easy transport), dimensions, 3D color-coded assembly diagrams, materials lists, step-by-step instructions, tips and other resources.
Bonus! Instructions on how to build an extra side compartment that can be made with the remaining plywood offcuts. Mounted with pocket screws for easy removal (or addition) when needs change in the future. Great add-on for storing sheet good offcuts!
The plans are designed to be used in combination with the YouTube video which provides step-by-step instructions.
*Measurements in the plans are imperial, not metric.

I love this design. The plans are incredibly detailed and go well with the Youtube video. You won’t be disappointed and the price is a bargain. Definitely worth checking out!

I built this yesterday, the drawings are very well done and easily worth the price. The design is very efficient in its use of material but also in its footprint, the square base is much more manageable in a small garage shop than the longer lumber carts.

Downloaded now and all measurements are imperial (not really useful for me)… it would be helpful if you have a size guide in mm also. Thank you.

Fantastic plans! Easy to follow and the cart is the perfect size for my tiny garage.

Very easy to follow plans. I always buy plans, even when they may not be all that necessary, to support the creator. Some of the land from others can be complicated, these are very clear. This carts parts were cut in a matter of a few hours, then spent a leisurely day on dados, paint, and assembly. It stores quite a bit of wood for its size. Sits outside, protected by rafter/Eve roof overhang. Came back to get miter station plans and I see several others I’m interested in.

Excellent plans!!!! Very well laid out with cutting diagrams and 3-dimensional views. Goes hand-in-hand with her excellent YouTube video. After this project is completed, I plan on building her router table next.

This is such a great idea. A compact wood cart. I was storing all my wood in two utility shelves. Not the best solution, it took up so much space. This design is perfect. I ended up using 1/2 ” wood instead of the 3/4 ” plywood. I forgot to take into account the change in dimensions. I ended up being creative to make it work. But I still love the design and still looks great. Even with repurposed wood.

I’m in the process of making your compact cart and have learned of a few things of interest along the way. Thanks

Excellent cart design. Holds plenty of wood.
Fit my needs exactly as I have an ‘on the wall’ woodworking system in my garage where I share the space with my vehicle in between projects.

Plans were right on…especially the cutting diagram. I built this cart according to the plans and everything came out perfect! The cart had lots of room for all my scrap wood and was able to be tucked away nicely. Highly recommended! Thanks!
