For a cheap but effective pivot bearing, I use a short piece of scrap copper pipe. It is a snug fit into a 5/8" hole, and a just-right fit on a 1/2" bolt.. You can shim between the rotating pieces with larger disks of sheet metal to reduce wood on wood friction and remove any slop, and use 2 jam nuts and washers on the bolt to keep the bolt from binding.
I follow lots of woodworking/diy channels and this is one of the coolest designs of seen of a sheet goods cart. Very good presentation as well! Subscribed!
Nice build! I added a tilt table to my infeed/work table that has my wood vises and is drilled for 3/4" dogs for clamping. It is very similar to what you designed. And I built an outfeed table that has an adjustable top with cabinet space underneath for my table saw jigs and I wired it with outlets for power tools. It also functions as my assembly table.
Absolutely love it! Gave me inspiration for a foldable miter saw station too. Enough content with shop builds. I want to have time to make something nice too!
Thanks for the timely reply. Thinking about a bit after I left the comment that's how I ended up mocking it up last evening. Thanks for the confirmation. On to gluing and screwing today to finish up. That's for such a simple and inexpensive fix to what is a problem solved for me!
Great idea coming from a guy with chronic neck & back pain for years. Anything to help minimize bending, pulling, stretching, yanking, etc., this would be ideal for! Thank you for taking us kind of unmentionables into consideration 👊 🤜 🤛.
Wow. Another gem. I need to make one. I’m 76, and weeks beyond a triple bypass. So I have the strength of Katherine Hepburn……and she’s dead! For me, plywood is so,so heavy. Thanks for this!
Great idea and good timing for an unexpected use case. We picked up an Anker F3800 solar/battery generator for my under-powered CNC garage/shop last month and with a couple simple mods this will work very nicely as a solar panel cart. The mods would be a few dowel holes/stops at 5 degree increments to keep the panels at the right sun angle. Many thanks.
Awesome build! I was planned on sawing 10 sheets of 3/4 plywood this weekend and was dreading getting it out of the rack and onto the saw by myself. Will be building this instead Thanks
I have a cart that was designed as a welding cart and I have just realized that it can be up-cycled to a material cart. Thank you. A sidebar comment? I like your French cleat wall. Lot of thoughts with that. Can you do a short film on it? No words but a picture is worth a thousand words.
Love the idea and the build, I will have to make one for myself, it can also serve as an infeed table for other long boards also, love it, kudos to you, also like the masterforce tools from Menards 😊
Thanks! I think you’re the first to comment on the masterforce tools 😆 I think they’re a solid balance of cost and quality. Wish they would expand their cordless selection though.
Multifunction table. Festool makes one and I believe other brands probably have something similar. Basically a table with dog holes and primarily used for track saws. It’s sort of an attempt to make a track saw more like a table saw but also act like a workbench
Very nice. I would like to consider making one 5’ long with sacrificial cross pieces for cross cuts with a saw guide. My shop space is too small though.
I was thinking of adding those roller balls that some industrial equipment uses. I didn’t bother because the plywood would slip off when pushing the cart. Melamine could be a good middle ground.
UA-cam just showed your channel to me with this video, and I really like this project, I'm going to have to make one of these for my shop, and my back. I also liked your format, how you shot the video, and then did the voice-over. Videos with no narration tend to cause me to lose interest, really fast. Again, great project, and a great video as well!!!
Awesome job. I'm a visual learner. I am thinking I can build this from a sheet of plywood cut to 3.5" wide strips but was wondering if you had a hardware or actual cut list?
I do not. I would recommend splitting the unit into sections like I did, building one at a time, because you may find you need to add different or extra supports for different components since you’re using plywood. I’m also a visual learner and breaking something down into components helps me. But if it helps, I use 1/4-20 for all of my threaded hardware, like bolts and knobs. There’s a lot of hardware available in that size.
I used 4 bearings to reach all the way through each 1x4 so the bolt and washer wouldn’t rub against the board. In the end I think it would have been just fine without the bearings, just a bolt by itself.
How far apart are the pivot pieces spaced from the back up rights? (size of the space blocks). This is going to be great! At 66 yrs old I'm to the pt that I just can't manage the 3/4" 4x8 sheets of Baltic Birch anymore.
@@fangerwoodworking Thanks for the timely reply. Thinking about a bit after I left the comment that's how I ended up mocking it up last evening. Thanks for the confirmation. On to gluing and screwing today to finish up. That's for such a simple and inexpensive fix to what is a problem solved for me!
Thanks, I saw the gate latch and for some reason I thought it was to keep the top down, must have been a brain fart since gravity will keep the top down. Doh!
@fangerwoodworking it's been a while since you made it...are you still happy with it or would you modify it? You really should sell them in your area...
It’s a DIY version of the rockler material mate so I’d probably get sued if I sold them 😆 But yes I am still happy with it. If I were to modify anything, I would probably use 4 swivel casters instead of 2 swivel and 2 fixed. Also maybe making a heavier base for more stability. Other than that it’s been working great!
Very smart design, killing two birds with one stone! I don't have a dedicated workshop, so I'll have to come with something that can be folded or disassembled into a small dimension for storage. Thanks!
You must have a serious back problem or fear one? How much plywood to you use? I assume all surface ( driveway ) are level ? The cart will take up a lot of space. Getting by wood onto the table of a table saw is as much work and if you saw a lot of plywood on a table saw ( even cast iron ) it wear a groove in the cast iron ( yes I’ve and co-worker have done it ). Now, I’d you have a back or knee issue and a large work shop this cart; as is, may be an asset. If the car acted as a panel saw; you really would have a useful tool. Otherwise cutting a a flat surface ( even a sloped driveway ) is best.
No back problem or fear involved. Moving plywood from my truck to saw and ripping on the tiny job site saw was annoying me. So I built this cart to make it easier. It helps me focus on keeping the plywood straight against the fence because I can stand next to it i stead of 8’ back. Plus it only takes up 36x22 floor space when folded, which I could spare. It also works great as a table to place stacks of boards that I’m ripping on the table saw, instead of stacking on the saw itself. I do like the idea of adding a panel saw feature, adds even more functionality to the cart. Someone else suggested replaceable strips on top and using a track saw or circular saw on top.

You had me at "not going to show all the cuts" and after watching, I'm going to make one like it. Not the same, but definitely inspired by.
Good job well done, great idea easily explained. No over acting or complex video work. Straight to the point. Like it.👍

That is one of the most useful things one can build. I love it. I also like how you made it to work as an in feed for the saw.
Simple and it works 👍👍
Good Job! Great idea. Now if we could only afford 3/4" plywood sheets.
!
Very nice. I’ve seen several but this is the easiest one to build I’ve seen. Simple is best.
Thank you! My goal is simplest as possible so I’m glad you like it!

That's great. Good job my friend you'll go far in your skill
Great idea if you're planning on cutting a lot of plywood
Nice job 👍🏴🇬🇧
A table made to not gather more junk too easy, nice, 🙃

For sure they need to expand, but I like to see others than myself that use tools that a normal person can afford that work just as well.
Very nice build and video!
Good idea. You might want to put a sacrificial top over that so you can cut full sheets on it. I have a similar table that I use a track saw on.
That’s a good idea. Like a homemade MFT but with the flip functionality.
@@fangerwoodworking MFT? What is that?
Multifunction table. Festool makes one and I believe other brands probably have something similar. Basically a table with dog holes and primarily used for track saws. It’s sort of an attempt to make a track saw more like a table saw but also act like a workbench
Very nice. I would like to consider making one 5’ long with sacrificial cross pieces for cross cuts with a saw guide. My shop space is too small though.
That’s a good idea. Would really take this to the next level. A homemade MFT
For the top, 3/4" melamine strips instead of the pine will make sliding the sheet through easier
I was thinking of adding those roller balls that some industrial equipment uses. I didn’t bother because the plywood would slip off when pushing the cart. Melamine could be a good middle ground.
Masterforce F Style clamps from Menards. Best value in clamps. And often, 11% off...

Thank you! Unfortunately no plans, just the video.
I need one of these!!!! Is the 4th bearing a stand-off from the 1X4?
I used 4 bearings to reach all the way through each 1x4 so the bolt and washer wouldn’t rub against the board. In the end I think it would have been just fine without the bearings, just a bolt by itself.
Thank you for the reply, expertise and project idea. I will build one by the weekend!

I spaced on 2’ from the flip stoppers so the pivot point is right on the middle of a 4x8 sheet of plywood - to help with balance as it rotates

Nice design. Well done. Is there anything to hold the top in the horizontal position?
Just a standard gate latch
