This was some found footage of a project that I thought was lost forever. A SCRAP WOOD STORAGE CART made from scraps! • Don't forget to Subscribe! • FOLLOW: • / mrmattwoodworks • / mrmattwoodworks • / mrmattwoodworks • http://MrMattWoodworks.com • With my new shop built I needed a place to store all of my scrap wood that was still taking over our garage. We had a couple of these horribly built shelves that we wanted to get rid of so I took one apart to use as a base for my storage cart. I already had one sheet of plywood and my goal was to only use scraps to build this thing that would hold more scraps. I measured the base at around five feet. I cut all the way around the preexisting shelf, removed the end 2x4 and then screwed it back in place on the shorter base. From there I cut down the plywood and just kind of eyeballed where I thought things should go. The majority of the construction is done with pocket holes. For hard to reach places I used a 90-degree attachment for my drill. Like any storage cart, I wanted a few bins in the front for smaller scraps and a place on the other side to lean sheets of plywood. • On all of the small scrap bins, I cut the corners of the dividers at 45 degrees. I came back later to trim back the outer sides as well. this thing wasn’t even halfway built and I had already snagged on those corners a few times. I set my table saw to 7 degrees and one side of the top support. And then screwed it in place. From there I realized I had a problem. I didn’t have enough plywood left over for the slanty section. I got online and happened on 3x3 customs video for her storage cart...from there this project just kind of mirrored hers. So a tip of the hat to you 3x3 customs. Also go check out her video...its way better. But anyway, back to the build. I cut what plywood I had left into strips that would work as braces for my larger scrap plywood sheets to rest against. • I cut some small blocks to use for shelf bracing on the insides of the cart. I measured up a foot, leveled the block, and tacked it in place. From there I measured up another foot, leveled, and tacked again. I did this for all of the blocks making sure they were in line with each other as I went. On the back sides of the leaning supports I did some measuring and tacked more support blocks in place so they would be even with the blocks on the straight wall. I screwed the leaning supports in place at the top and bottom, it's also important to note that the ends of these leaning supports were also beveled at the same 7-degree angle as the top support. This ensures a flat top and a solid connection at the base. • I had a scrap piece of ½ inch plywood to use for my internal shelves and by some miracle, it fit exactly right with only one cut. The only thing I had to buy were some locking casters. I added some extra 2x4 blocks in the corners so I could get 4 screws in each caster. That pretty much did it. I took it for a joy ride and then filled it up. This thing holds a ton of scraps. What took up an entire wall in my garage was now tucked into one small corner of my shop. • Thanks for watching!
