Popular Post freedhardwoods Posted October 11, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Just like on many other projects, I realized a better way after building and using my plywood storage bin. Just wait a few months and I'll probably think of better way. In my original bin (1st two pics), I would bring a sheet in the walk door, stand it up, turn 90* and slide it into the bin. To use a sheet, I had to slide it out, turn 90* and slide it over to line up with the saw blade. The new bin is turned 90* so I don't have to do nearly as much plywood maneuvering. I had to move my wood storage to a spot that isn't quite as convenient, but boards are a lot easier to handle than 3/4" plywood. The "before" bin pics look nice and neat. I forgot to take some before pics on the day I changed the bin. It looked like a tornado went through. I'm a terrible housekeeper. The "after"pics show the plywood and lumber for my next cabinet job. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 That looks like a much better solution. No more rotating and trying to get things in a tight spot. I'm a bit jealous of that. I have to break my plywood down before it comes into my shop otherwise it's just too dang difficult to carry it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee-dub Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Looks much better. I am struggling with a sheet goods solution right now as well. I don't keep much on hand and am thinking about a swing-out carrier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhighlander Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Workshops are always evolving, don't think you are the first to realize a better solution after working fir a while. Is the cabinet business picking up? Seems that last time you posted, things were not looking too smooth... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrying full sheets through a walk door isn't easy, but sometimes I get it a week or two before I'm ready to start cutting it up, so that's my method for now. 17 hours ago, gee-dub said: Looks much better.

That looks interesting, but I don't have enough open space to maneuver something like that. 8 hours ago, wtnhighlander said: Is the cabinet business picking up?

I just got so deep in debt when money wasn't coming in, I still don't know if we'll make it or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 That's the way we always did it at the shop. This way you just pull and lay down on the saw... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
