The "Little Shop Cart" that could....

Post by cdmclain »

Just completed my first for "shop use" project, a movable shop cart with a top surface for assembly and storage underneath. I have the Shop Notes #4 project plans as part of my Shopsmith purchase a year ago and have been wanting to build it for sometime now. Lots of firsts constructing the shop cart and it was a great learning experience. I want to put a couple of coats of "clear satin poly" finish on it to protect it.

Lots of room for current SS items and probably a little room for some more! Everyone be safe and get to woodworking.

Very nice. I have a "roll around" shop cart on my list of priorities also.

Good looking shop cart. BUT I bet it fills up quickly. Seems like no matter how much new space you make, it's NOT enough. :)

I like the cart! I could use one of those here in my computer room... I bet I could almost fill it up with workshop tools I have laying around in here.

Thanks for showing us!

Nice cart! One of my first few "actual" woodworking projects will be a set of under cabinets for my SS, and a new, matching work table.
