My version of Norm's clamp cart:
The big casters you guys talked about were definitely a good idea. Allows it to roll freely around the shop with no trouble despite the weight. I hope the wheels don't flat spot over time if it sits in one place for a while. That's really my only concern.
Went back and watched the episode where Norm builds his clamp cart after I was about done with this one. The ritual is to watch an episode with my three year old as he goes down for nap time. He looked at it and said -- is he buildin' one like we got ? hahaha You gotta love it.
One sheet of 3/4" plywood, three 8' lengths of 2x4 and some left over MDF pieces for the bottom shelf. Used the thick 3/4" MDF because I had the pieces and to give it as much weight down there as possible -- in addition to that little 2x4 framework. That framework at the bottom also helped to straighten out the crookedness of the plywood sides -- sandwiching them like that forced them straight.
