Looks Great! This is on my list to make. Thanks for the heads up on the casters I wouldn’t of thought of using larger then 3” wheels.

Sweet design and construction looks solid ,makes good use of available space as well. If You do have intentions on rolling the cart around on a regular basis I would recommend swapping out to those larger casters as You mentioned.Once again great project !

Thanks for sharing with us.

Nice job Travis.

Can you provide us the length and height of the unit as well as the length of the open shelves?

Thanks.

First off im sorry i dont have a photo – but if you can imagine – looking at your really nice workbench similar in size to mine – i built a small box (kind of similar in size and construction to an automotive creeper) out of pine and plywood that would just slide under the un-used space. I placed 4 small casters inside this box that would allow the box to almost sit on the ground. My box is about 3 foot by 24 inches and about 5 inches tall and has 2 drawer pulls to access the contents. I use this unused space under my workbench to hold any cutoff piece under say 12 inches long – it works great as it takes NO space in the shop and when I need a small piece of lumber I just pull it out and then just roll it back when finished. I have a couple of cardboard boxes laying in this “tray to help organize the species of wood. I hope this is a help to someone else !!!! Like I said I m sorry I dont have any photos.

Great solution and use of space.

definitely may go with this one some day

-- It's made of wood. Real sturdy.--Chubbs Peterson

This looks like a perfect solution to keeping up with all those cutoffs that accumulate all around the shop.

-- There is no such thing as scrap wood, only smaller projects.

Great work I have this on my to do list as well.

Thank you all for the nice comments.

handystanley – here’s the specs:
48” long
44” high
shortest shelf is 11” long
longest shelf is 48” long
with 2 other shelf lengths in between those
the hidden vs open shelves are mirror lengths of each other

If a person has the room in their shop, a shorts bin/ plywood rack is a “must have” necessity….These things seem to grow, so if you can “corral them” to one spot you’re better served for it….Her’s mine I built several years back…..
