Lumber & Sheet Goods Rack

Combining easy access and mobility

Designer: Ben Svec
Builder: Bill Sands

Perhaps the quickest way to junk up a shop is to dump boards and sheet goods­­—both full-length pieces and offcuts—into corners, in piles on the floor, or sundry other places. Rather than waste precious shop time looking for that piece of oak you set aside, get organized with this accommodating storage rack. Use it to hold sheet goods, full-length boards, even dowels and shorts. It consists of ledges for stacking sheets (and easily sorting through them), removable pipes for standing boards on end or suspending them horizontally, and shelves for an assortment of other materials. Six casters underneath let you easily roll the cart around the shop to machining locations or to help with cleanup.
