How to Build a Scrap Wood Storage Cart

Hey friends, let's finally take care of this chaotic scrap wood pile some of you have been giving me a hard time about ;)

I've been trying to clean and organize my shop after a busy summer full of projects. While cleaning up my wood storage room, I decided that after years of procrastinating, I should finally just build a cart to help organize my scrap plywood.

And...I only wish I'd done it sooner. I hope you enjoy following along to see how I built it!
