Building a lumber storage cart was one of the best things I ever did for my shop! I've never regretted it, and the dedicated storage space has made a world of difference in helping to keep my shop clean, and a lot more orderly.

[@victorcast2467]

The sensation of simply organizing stuff that you have lying around is awesome. Killer build!

[@Randomiz500]

Most likely a killer build, when that thing tips over! 😖

[@mohamedayoub4953]

You're way of talking when you start working is very relaxing. Your works are awesome.

[@joshuabeckom7556]

Pocket hole game is next level on this one... kudos!

[@felixfromnebraska8648]

Glenn, Super project, I was just thinking that you could use the exterior sides as a place to hold other tools. Great use of space none the less. Thanks for sharing my friend.

[@DIYCreators]

Thanks, I thought about outside storage, it's a great idea. However, I am trying to cut back on the visual clutter.

[@carlbrothers]

@@DIYCreators Looks like a great place to maybe put some french cleats.

[@ado933]

You have great ideas. I enjoy your channel! Thank you for taking the time to share your projects with us!!

[@gilkennedy7638]

Finally saw one vertical....I was wondering if it would be stable enough, look like, that is as a simple as I need, Thanks for sharing

[@caleym.1345]

Good job building that rack! When I built my sheet rack I left an opening in the back to push forward sheets that are difficult to grab from the front. Or if somehow a narrow rip got pushed to the back I could push it from behind to get it out of the rack. As a fellow woodworker/cabinetmaker I enjoy watching your videos.

[@kevinm8865]

Very nice man. High quality stuff and high quality video and narration; no fluff. No B$. Thanks Glen!

[@toolsortoys7352]

Functional storage of lumber that is also portable. Brilliant! Keep up the great projects

[@adamsweeney817]

Your unreal at wat u do and every project u make is so neat

[@liezelhaupt7172]

Brilliant! Also great for storage of artist's canvasses.

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you, totally agree now that you mentioned it.

[@georgequalls5043]

You can always build outriggers if it is unsteady. Maybe something hinged so it can be retracted when not needed.

[@robertdowniejr7021]

i watched a lot of youtube videos on plywood storage but never saw that one wish i had before building the one i have great job keep up the good work.

[@donniefontaine8018]

Sweet project, Glen! As always, nicely done! My suggestion for making it even better? Pick one of those sides and turn it into a panel saw!

[@transconjohn]

This is exactly what I need! Great video!

[@derekirwin3999]

I used the plywood to store the plywood

[@JACKBOOT12]

This guy probably has the coolest workshop ever

[@42lookc]

I made a plywood/scrap wood storage unit like that a few years ago. I made it 8 feet long and 4 feet tall, plus dimensional lumber storage on top. I laid the one side back 15° and bolted my Milwaukee panel saw to it. So, my plywood stock and panel saw take up the same wall space. I can move my panel saw around or wheel it right outside to reduce dust in the garage. I can even roll the entire unit onto my tilting Cargomax* trailer and take it somewhere else with my plywood stock already on board. * look them up; they're awesome!

[@trentyoung1135]

Great solution with minimal space used.

[@christopherkickdintheface7677]

Im Def doing this in my shop when I get out of rehab

[@HighSpeedChase762]

How‘s your recovery coming?

[@gregurbeck2528]

Seen allot of projects u have done and i think i would like to see your version of a plywood fish tank!!!

[@barrybebenek8691]

That is one KICK-BUTT idea there! Nice work. Thanks. 👍🏼🇨🇦

[@CookingGuy815]

Your workshop is great, full of necessary machines

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you. My goal is to make it more functional.

[@CookingGuy815]

@@DIYCreators Amazing !!!

[@FlatwearableArtisanJewelry]

If you don't extend the build at least a couple of inches higher you won't be able to fit more than a couple of full sheets of plywood. The plywood has to lean in order to fit and you won't be able to fit in more than a couple of sheets. I built something similar to this and added an additional 3.5" of overhead space.

[@SwinginJohnson74]

Great build!!! Thank you sir!!!

[@Dimok876]

This are my favorite casters from Home Depot'

[@DIYCreators]

Yes, they are really nice! I wanted to the 3in ones, but ironically they only had 3. So I grab the 5in.

[@elderyehudahwatchmanoftheg8425]

EXCELLENT BROTHA. KEEP TRUCKING

[@tomkious8445]

I had started to build something similar, but I was worried about the strength/ stability/. From your video, it looks like this plan is solid. I decided to build it and it is quite the beast. I made it a little bit wider to hold more and also extended the bottom to 60"to help support Baltic 5x5 sheets. I do kinda wonder why you did all of your pocket holes with the sheet standing up on end. I drilled all mine with a simple clamp on jig while every thing was laying down, much easier. This definitely keeps my sheet goods more organized and contained. I don't have to move a bunch of other peices to get the one I want. In my opinion a much more efficient way to store sheet goods.

[@MCsCreations]

Really fantastic work, dude! 😃 That's definitely something fantastic to have in a workshop! 😃

[@saowczarek7671]

[@EllisDesignandTradeCo]

Oh I like that dewalt drill! Definitely need a rack like this in my shop.

[@4legdfishman]

Nice work!! I'm definitely building a wood storage bin. Every thing I put in my shop must be mobile and this fits the bill. You just got a new subscriber!! Thanks for the quality content.

[@bloodcap1779]

thank you my brother for this video

[@FredMcIntyre]

Nicely done Glen! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@19wisdom76]

I organize my smaller wood pieces with a stack of pallets. The pallets were left over from another project, so instead of getting rid of them I stacked them in a corner and use the openings as shelves.

[@DIYCreators]

I totally understand! I need all my corners right now 😂so I need things to be movable.

[@YESSLEEP42]

Very nice!! I’m planning something similar right now!! Thanks for the video!!!

[@chrisdutson9894]

You can use the sides as a tool wall.

[@michaelking9758]

Chris Dutson I was thinking the same thing.. French Cleat system would be perfect on the sides.

[@MixingGBP]

4:40 the kreg screws do a good job of staying on the square drive but no matter how much you move or jiggle the drill driver.

[@billwolff3763]

Great project, good instruction

[@CasualBuilds]

Great job! When you were rolling it around at the end, were you thinking, "hmmm, now where am I going to put this giant thing?" haha

[@DIYCreators]

Thanks, I was 😂, but I have 3 spots for it. I got it all figured out, for now.

[@haveeair]

Been waiting for a new video from you. Thx for this build. Great as always

[@DIYCreators]

Thanks, It actually felt weird to me filming a new video. It's been a minute. So happy to create!

[@tjohnson8127]

I always enjoy your videos and look forward to seeing the next.

[@DIYCreators]

[@roythomassen]

Really like your idea for storing lumber, would have routed out some handles in the plywood sides.

[@DIYCreators]

Thanks, I thought about that after 🤣.

excellent video ... I think a better solution for the shooter is to drill the tertiary so you don't lose space

[@RobbyNowell]

That's a pretty good storage option. Minimal floor space.

[@ziqianli8057]

woodworkers most struggle: using more lumber to store more lumber

[@ChrisFranklyn]

[@rrrrkoop2776]

nice job, i'm going to make one like this but wider with hdp plastic strips on the bottom so lumber slides easily. but i don't think you can open your garage door now. lol

[@jeffbassett3174]

This would fit perfectly in my garage however I do not want to spend any money on expensive plywood to build plywood storage. Could I use OSB instead? Maybe add bracing in the corners?

[@woodlandburl6648]

Very nice!

[@boban7050]

No comments nice video

[@Degenhardt450]

In stead of ply you could have used a stick construction, that way you can see into the stack, but the down side is a lot more thought would have to go into it. Great idea though.

[@fludrbywest3886]

Second videos of yours I have watched you are a prima-ballerina in the shop work section 😁love the way you think and move❣️❣️thank you for sharing and great storage ! I am not a wood person and I need a step by step instruction to create one of those for a spice and other storage pullout for my kitchen. Do you have a plan or video for that?

"yo dawg, i heard you like plywood...so i put plywood in your plywood, so you can look at plywood while you work with plywood!" knowyourmeme.com/memes/xzibit-yo-dawg xD love all these sweet practical builds, much thanks.

[@avgFloridian]

How do I store my plywood? I don't. It's been in my way for a little over 2 years now (hurricane shutters), but I've slowly turned it into shelving and cabinets of various sorts, some of which is storage for other lumber and tools. I'm finally getting towards the end of my supply though. Cool cabinet. I wish I thought of this in 2017. LOL

[@Dingbat217]

I would make some blocks in the sides where the wheels can attach, thatg will make the bottom footprint wider and lower the whole thing at the same time. :-)

hey Glenn , cool build , although the loose sheet storage is a bit messy , it doesn’t take up to much space while this cart does , why not make a rack above the sheets attached to the wall to store the smaller pieces,just a question

[@TranTheClever]

Going ahead and spend a little extra money and ditch the 2x2 and use 2x4's. Over a long period, I would be worried with the single 2x2 with one screw in it per attachment point. 5:44

[@PrincipalDBA]

Then handle may be better on the outside in order to get more plywood into the storage unit.

[@DIYCreators]

I thought about it, but the plywood has to lean, standing straight up is a no go. It would be too tight. Unless I extend the plywood. More than likely that will always be an unusable spot. I like the handle being tucked away.

[@nicholasmarks6962]

Do you ever run into issues with your pocket hole screw going all the way in and then stripping
