Ohh boy! I've been looking at this for weeks thinking, what am I going to do with this.
I can't say I can take care of all of it today. But I can certainly start.
That start was some two by fours which I then proceeded to rip into one and a half by one
and a half inch boards.
Now that is very important to note that I did not just rip them in half because doing
that would not have
given me a quarter inch strip left over that will be used in the next project video.
It's all about conservatatism...conservatoryinism....
it's about using everything that you get.
Zero waste people.
Assembly of the frames is pretty straight forward.
Each side of the roll around storage bin cart will get a full frame for stability.
This piece will act as a ledge for the side slates that I will attach in just a moment.
Some glue and then tack in place flush with the bottom or what will otherwise be known
as the inside of the frame.
Those slates I mentioned earlier are just one by fours cut to length.
I debated myself whether glue was really needed on the ledges for these slats.
Then I envisioned myself adding accesories to the outside and decided it was probably best.
Humidity levels are already pretty high here in Florida and these boards have had a few
days to acclamate to my shop.
So I fit these boards next to each other but did not snug them up.
My measurements were for boards that where three and a half inches wide.
These furring strips that I'm using are only three and three eigths which left me with
this odd ball width at the end.
That's an easy fix by taking that measurement and ripping on the table saw.
This happens four times. Each of the four side frames, but not the front and back frames.
Time to assemble.
A complete list of cuts along with materials needed can be found on my website.

Now I'll secure the two units together.
If you have an issue with commitment like I do then some four inch casters will help ease your anxiety.
One last things to take care of. The rails for the storage bins to slide on are just
a one by fours that I ran through the table saw.
The measurements for this cut along with all the other measurements can be had at
simply easy diy dot com.
Flip the short cut on its side with some glue and just make sure the screws are set slightly
below the surface.
I measured down about eight inches or so based on the size of the storage bins I'll be using.
The deminsions for this roll around storage cart were put together for a specific size
store bought container that I
already had in my shop already. Then I put together some design plans for a DIY version
of storage bins.
Those plans and a whole lot more can be found by checking out my website.

Until Then.
