Building a Wooden Utility Cart for UNDER $30
Рет қаралды 54,490
Жыл бұрынA utility cart is a great way to move tools around your garage or workshop. It can also be used for gardening, in the kitchen, or about anywhere else you can imagine storing small tools or supplies.
I built this cart for just under $30 using 2x4s and a movers dolly. I wanted to share it with you so that you could have the opportunity to build one as well.

Love using the harbor freight dolly! On my small workbench/cart I added some french cleat slots on the side so I could hang what ever tool I was needing for the project I was working on. It has been very helpful Edit: I am horrible at grammer

Good idea, I was hoping somebody would bring up a French cleat holder.

For the top shelf, I was thinking you could add vertical strips perpendicular to the ones already on it. You could put them underneath so they are out of sight, but the wood would be able to hold much heavier objects. Another thought would be rectangular buckets on the sides to hold loose fasteners or whatever else. And add a cup holder just because lol. I am a first time viewer but you have gained a viewer for life!

Great build honesty for the tray slats since it's basically quarter sawn the expansion would be in the thickness not the width

I do like this cart. I'm actually waiting it out; I ordered a Dowel Jig X on Black Friday from Massca. It was on a backorder, but supposed to be here next month for my birthday. I'm thinking about using it to fancy up some if the corner joinery with contrasting wood dowels. I was also going to replace your wood handle with a metal one, and use some fancier casters.. I'm turning mine into a bar cart for using out on the patio this summer!
@SpecificLove7 Жыл бұрын
That sounds like some great upgrades and a good use for the cart.
@markhendrickson5886 Жыл бұрын
Undoubtably the most frugal way to buy casters! Been doing that for year. Just have to remember if you want to put them back on the frames, they're metric.

@Luke11ify Жыл бұрын
Awesome project to watch! When it comes to making cuts less than 3/4" on my saw, my accuracy isn't that great and my wood isn't straight either so I wouldn't be able to do this one without resolving that, but some day for sure!
@SpecificLove7 Жыл бұрын
I really hope you can figure that out.
@chrismosca2588 Жыл бұрын
You could build a side shelf on it for screw drivers or spray cans on it too

I bought a rickety cart from Harbor Freight for $40 seven years ago. My nightmare: the nuts & bolts work themselves apart, and the thing disintegrates, spilling everything all over the floor. Dumbest thing I ever bought-it holds my welding gear-I could’ve welded a solid one for less

What do you think weight limit is on that? I've not watched your video all the way through still watching but thats my main question I know I'm looking for haven't heard it yet
@SpecificLove7 4 ай бұрын
Not sure on the weight limit. I have had several paint cans of various weights sitting on the lower shelves for several weeks without any issues. I just make sure that the weight is evenly distributed across the shelves for the best longevity. So far my cart is doing well, but I just have to remember that it is just wood and does have a limit to it's strength.
@ogatkinson6274 Жыл бұрын
Isn't it cheaper to buy a sheet of plywood for your surfaces than labor and cost of saw to rip 1/4 inch strips of 2x4? Unless your labor is worthless. Great video, thanks.

It might be, but I was hoping to show what is possible without.

Lumber like "tubafour" (2x4") is almost always mentioned in how many, but not how long they are? Is there a standard length in the USA, when nothing else is mentioned? Here in Denmark, we have lumber like "tubafours" in up to 11 different standard lengths, from 2,4 m (almost 8 ft) to 5,4 m (almost 18 ft). Just asking, because I'm going to build super versatile cart as soon as I again can work in my tiny, insulated, but not heated(!!) workshop without having to wear multiple pairs of pants, shirts, jackets, gloves, etc, which is about or over 50 F. Only in the summer the temp inside my shop AND my house are above 60-65 F !!
@SpecificLove7 Жыл бұрын
In the US, the standard length is 8 ft or 96 inches. I'm not sure what that is in metric. Hope that helps

@@SpecificLove7 Thank you SO much, it helps me a lot. And thank you for all your videos, and all the tips & tricks. And the inspiration! Fx. this cart, with so much room for individual things we can add, fx. a small drawer under the top, or different materials to use, and/or much, much more to fit our individual use and choice. Thank you, thank you so much for all you give (y) Merry Christmas to the family, and a happy and productive New Year

In the US you can get 2x4 in quite a few lengths 8 feet is most common but can get in 2 foot increments

I love these videos. Here's how to make this super awesome "easy" project - just get this lumber and then bring it to your personal shop where you have $1000s worth of heavy equipment to rip and cut the wood down with. None of these woodworking videos geared at people seem to care or take this into account. As long as they get the views, I guess.

You can do all these cuts with a $200 circular saw and a straight fence jig. This is cool, straight forward good quality content man.

@@jimmyjohnson6496 it is the video not my ears. the first part of it literally only had sound processing through the right speaker only, wearing headphones meant only the right ear got blasted with sound until it equalized. there are lots of videos with sound that is only in the left or right speaker sometimes it is only for a short time sometimes entire video. not pleasant when wearing headphones.
