what a brilliant idea with the acrylic sheet! will definitely use this!

[@DudeSawdust]

Thanks! I'm so glad you like it. I have been using this cart a while now and it is a lifesaver for so many reasons!

[@sanyoshovah2887]

I've been looking at scrap carts for over 2 hours and had picked my 2 favorites. And you just made the fusion of those 2. Exactly what I've been looking for

[@DudeSawdust]

Awesome! I'm so glad I could help. I've been working on plans, but since this is my first attempt at making plans it will probably still be a while before they are available.

[@sanyoshovah2887]

@@DudeSawdust making the sketchup file for myself is usually a breeze. But step by step instructions can be tricky. Things my be obvious for yourself, but not so much for the reader. Can you give me the rough measurements of the base/footprint of the cart?

[@DudeSawdust]

I’ll do you even one better, it is 6’ x 3’ and 4 inches. That is exact. Good luck on your project.

[@DudeSawdust]

I'm sure you have already built your wood cart. But just in case, I finally have digital plans available: www.etsy.com/listing/1252056855/scrap-wood-storage-cart-digital?click_key=29faa3dc1eea9b01fd1211040aac44925e134061%3A1252056855&click_sum=17254930&ref=shop_home_active_1

@@DudeSawdust I just now sent a message through the Etsy message board. This is the answer I was looking for. I'll check it out with a dry layout and if it works, I'll buy the plan

Very nice

This is the best wood storage buildup seen so far thank you so much for sharing God bless you and yours.

[@DudeSawdust]

You're too kind! Thanks so much for the support😎

[@ZeroGatlin]

Just so you know, not only did I subscribe, but I paused the video to do so as well as comment as soon as you said "take it to 11"!

[@DudeSawdust]

You’re my kind of subscriber! I really appreciate your keen sense of humor. And I totally stand by the proclamation that my storage cart goes to 11! Thanks for your support and I look forward to bringing you more content in the future (video drops this weekend). 😎😎😎

[@JasonGrissom]

Another great video. I have no business watching it since my shop is only about 2x the size of the cart itself but I just love listening to your process and outlook on things.

[@DudeSawdust]

Thanks so much. I think you’ve watched my best 2-3 videos. If you stop now you’ll think I’m really cool. If you watch any more it’ll probably sour your opinion of me.

[@gabrielvalencia1395]

No judgment from me. At least you had them against a single wall. Thanks for the idea! I think I’ll incorporate into my own wood cart.

[@DudeSawdust]

I’m glad I could inspire you. I love the see through shelf I have on mine👍

This is sweet!! Your garage and heart will thank you! I know it sparks joy in me to see anything well organized, and I must say the dust from those boards somehow got in my eyes all the way over here 😉

[@DudeSawdust]

It is so much nicer to be in the shop now. One of the most satisfying projects to date.

[@EigenDesigns]

That looks so good. Man, its so satisfying to see the scrap wood organization clean up your shop. Great project!

[@DudeSawdust]

[@396fab]

I wish I could find 2x4's that look that straight. Seems all I kind find as of late are pretzels.

[@DudeSawdust]

The struggle is real! Here's a tip: Buy 2x8s or 2x12s and then rip them down to size. They last longer on the shelves and and are more often dried out so the warping and twisting is mostly done and they won't move too much after bringing them home. 2x4s sell a lot faster so often times they are fairly moist on the shelf and can be unpredictable in their movement.

[@barryroberts6470]

This is a cracking build and it gives me an idea for my pile of s-crap as well, love the quick cameo of the Mrs and the back of your Daughters head, if she was anything like my daughter was at that age, i'm surprised she even let you film the back of her head without the wash, dry and style first ha ha ha. Stay Safe, Barry (ENG)

[@DudeSawdust]

Thanks so much for watching, I'm glad you liked it. I had a great time building it and love being in the shop so much more now that it is better organized.

[@Nocturnal2010]

I'm gonna start using more child clamps, I have a set of 6 🤣👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@DudeSawdust]

These types of clamps are very expensive but really come in handy when no other clamp will work. Unfortunately these clamps have a finite shelf life before they are pretty useless.

[@Nocturnal2010]

@@DudeSawdust 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 right

[@sanyoshovah2887]

I've almost finished mine, just need to attach the A frames to the base. Do people use some kind of finish to protect the wood?

[@DudeSawdust]

It’s really not necessary to put a finish on it. Great job! I bet it looks amazing

[@rolandellis5309]

CASTER WHEELS WITH BRAKES WILL MAKE A MASSIVE DIFFERENCE! I like you're take on the board storage cart, great vid. As for the brakes... I have a 3m long double sided board rack in a double garage not much larger than yours. If you have the option to lock a brake in one corner the cart can pivot from that spot. This really comes in handy when you have it stored next to a wall or shelving and you need to access behind one end. Pull out one end you need to access, get what you need, then push it back to exactly where it was before. With no brakes the opposite end will move as well and more than likely hit something you don't want it to (...if you are as starved for space as much as me. If you're not, then you soon will be :-)). Another thing to be aware of is that these things get heavy, really heavy! Don't skimp on casters. Make sure your wheels can take more than you think they'll need to. The bigger the wheel, the easier it is to start moving. Good luck with your future projects and best wishes for the future of your channel.

[@DudeSawdust]

Your idea with using just one brake is a great idea. With it all loaded up it’s pretty heavy but still moves where I want it to. Thanks so much for watching 👍

[@danielwoodbeck779]

Love the project! Working on my own scrap wood organizer now as well! How thick is the plywood for the base? Now subscriber here as well. Really like the plexi idea!!! Thank you!!

[@DudeSawdust]

I used one side finished 3/4 inch nominal sande pine for the base. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I hope I was able to help with the inspiration for your scrap wood organizer. Glad to have you in the Dude Sawdust family 👍👍👍🤓

[@Nailedityt]

Wow your channel is growing like crazy! Keep it up! Great video once again!

[@ouchymytoe]

3/4" plywood is still around $80 to $100 a sheet where I am (Utah), but there's a TON of homebuilding going on. I wish there was a good video on good plywood alternatives...(hint, hint). :)

[@DudeSawdust]

Hmmmm. Not a bad idea. Except that EVERYTHING is expensive.

[@torrencecarpentry1907]

Good job on the cart. I need to come up with one, but half the width, never really think about doing until I'm mid job and the strap is irritatingly everywhere lol. Like the Plexi idea

[@DudeSawdust]

Thanks! It feels so much nicer to be able to go in the shop and work. Sometimes I just like admiring it. Shop projects are probably my favorite. You should definitely builld one!

[@terrypriest6471]

Maybe i dozed off. Whats tbe footprint size? 4x8 ft?

[@NewTestamentDoc]

does the acrylic bulge?

[@DudeSawdust]

Great question. It doesn’t at all and everything about the cart is as perfect as it was since day one. I love it!

[@2adamast]

I love brilliant, but comme on now I look over critical:. Remove every 2by4, what’s left is nearly a giant torsion box, make that work. For economy four wheels will do, maybe just stay shy of the corners to make it look balanced/car like. Use scraps, for me a good scrap cart must look like patchwork otherwise it’s a junk cart.

[@DudeSawdust]

🤣🤣great ideas. But with the weight of the cart once loaded, the 6wheels are a must. I agree with your patchwork idea, but there is a certain KZbin appeal that aesthetics make an impact. Thanks for your comment. Come back again sometime 👍👍👍

[@2adamast]

@@DudeSawdust indeed I did a full sheet length version with one single sheet and scraps (no 2by4) and it lacks on esthetics. For the wheels I used 4 pairs of small 3 dollar wheels without any bottom frame to reduce the height as the top is also a miter saw station.

[@DudeSawdust]

Sounds like an epic cart!
