A shop cart is a godsend for milling. Holding planks or parts while you're jointing and planing, it serves like a pair of sawhorses on wheels. Finish jointing and you just roll the stack to the planer, then to the router table or the mortiser. Mine also gets wheeled into the bench room, where space is a lot tighter. In there it gives me multiple levels of stor- age for the parts and clamps and tools I want right at hand, allowing me to keep the bench clear of clutter. I made my first shop cart 30 years ago, after reading Jim Tolpin's book Working at Woodworking (1991, The Taunton Press). Since then, I've made several others; this is my latest.
