What DIYer doesn’t dream of a larger, well-organized shop with plenty of work surfaces? Although actuallyn acquiring more square footage may be a pipedream, enhancing your shop’s organization and adding a mobile worktable can help you make the most of the room you have.
This cart helps you implement perhaps the most important rule of good organization: Store like items together. (Putting things away when you’re finished with them is a close second.) I designed the cart to corral my migrating power-tool cases and accessories in a single unit that would be easy to move around my garage shop or driveway. The key feature, a tilt-out bin similar to a flour bin, holds the cases with their handles up so I can easily lift them out (no bending down to reach under a shelf).
The cart takes only a weekend to build. Construction is relatively simple because it doesn’t require the refined details and finishing of a piece of fine furniture. To give it an industrial look, I used washer-head screws designed for pocket-hole joinery wherever the screws were left exposed.
