Multipurpose Lumber Center

With built-in worksurfaces and a cutting center, this lumber rack is for much more than storing boards.

As you can see from the photos, this lumber center not only provides plenty of storage for boards of various lengths and widths, but it also keeps cutoffs and shorter stock well organized. There are deep, removable drawers for tools, as well. Another nice feature is the addition of a worksurface with a built-in miter saw. Rather than tote long, unwieldy boards across the shop to rough cut them at the miter saw, you can make those cuts right on the spot. The rack is made of dimensional lumber and plywood available at any home center. The supports will safely hold a good-sized supply of lumber. Most of the weight rests on the floor, and it's kept upright by screwing it to the wall studs.
