- How to build your own cheap and effective lumber storage cart on wheels!
Looking to organize your workshop and even make use of some of that scrap wood you've got kicking around? Well, you've come to the right place! Welcome to Episode One of the “Any Axe-Hole Can Buy A New One” Series! In this inaugural episode, we’re transforming an old garage cabinet into an efficient and versatile lumber storage cart on wheels! And the best part about it? It was built for scrap, by scrap (making it virtually free)!
What is AACBANO?
"Any Axe-Hole Can Buy A New One" (AACBANO), is a saying that’s been passed down in my family for generations and one that my grampa lived by. It represents a belief in self-sufficiency, resourcefulness, and getting things done. While his version of the saying wasn’t quite so PG (his rendition included a different kind of a-hole), the sentiment was the same; in a world rife with disposable, mass-produced products built out of cardboard, why not fix it or build it yourself? Besides, someone out there knows how, so why can’t that someone be you?
🛠️ Key Features of the Project 🛠️
🪓 Mixed storage for both dimensional lumber and sheet goods
🪓 Mobile for convenience in my small shop
🪓 Made primarily from scrap wood
Follow along to see this beginner-friendly transformation from an inefficient, bulky old storage cabinet to a versatile wood storage system that's perfect for any workshop!

About My Grandfather’s Axe:
My Grandfather’s Axe (MGA for short) follows a beginner woodworker’s journey learning the craft from her late grandfather’s tools. It’s about inheriting his carpentry knowledge by building with his very tools, all while adding her own unique mark. This channel is built on authenticity, highlighting the real mistakes and frustrations of the learning process instead of hiding them. From home renovations, to carpentry, to fine woodworking, join the genuine (often comical) journey of a beginner learning the trade!

10:36 did anyone else notice the spider? 😂. Great project, by the way 👍
Hehe, every shop needs a few spiders. I wonder if he knows he's famous 🤔 Thanks for watching!
Very nice, you're getting better & better with each project. Keep it up...
Thank you! It's fun to look back and see the growth just in the last year. Thanks for your support!
Grampa's shop was a 2 car attached garage with a massive crack in the poured concrete floor due to the floor slab settling from poor construction workmanship. It left him with 2 seperate sloped sections of floor that made anything wheeled run to the low spot. Castered carts just weren't possible for his shop but I know he would have loved your solution.
Grampa did NOT build that garage or the house it was attached to, but he did spend 40 years of his life there coping with that floor and other gems leftover from the uninspired construction of it.
Man, that would have been so frustrating! I love being able to wheel my pieces around, especially since I still use the garage for vehicles as well. I'm sure he came up with many clever solutions for that challenge though!
Cool. Where do you store your rotting logs?
