Answers: How do you build a sturdy plywood workshop cart?

• workshop cart build
• plywood selection for woodworking
• shop furniture construction
• caster replacement

What it concludes

• 1-inch hardware store plywood lacks the refinement of Baltic birch plywood but makes up for it in thickness and structural strength.
• The time to square up unused stock is when you have it, not when you need it later.
• An XY table is only useful on top of a rotary table, not underneath it.
