Workshop Tool Cart
Every shop needs a cart. This version is packed with storage options and doubles as a worksurface.
In almost any home shop, three features end up being worth their weight in gold when it comes to shop fixtures. Those usually end up being mobility, storage, and a flat space to work — or to stack items haphazardly, I don’t judge. The rolling tool cart you see above offers each of these in ample amounts. The five graduated drawers on the left side offer storage for various tools that aren’t used every day — sockets and wrenches in the shallow drawers, larger tools in the bottom drawers. For stuff that’s just too large to keep in the drawers, a door conceals shelves for extra storage. Looking at the top of the cart, you have a few options. An aluminum lip and rubber tool mat help to keep items in place as you work on them. If you want a little bit more meat on the top, you can add a hardwood top that transforms the cart into a workbench as well.

Similar Woodsmith Plans
Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.
Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.
Premium Plans
All of the information that you need to build our plans can be found in the standard plan. However, if you want even more granular detail to make your job easier, you should consider our premium plans. These come with additional shop diagrams that we drew when creating the prototypes. Shop drawings are not available for every plan.
