One of the best uses for OSB I have seen in quite some time:)

[Ken Higginbotham]

Thanks. I have some scraps left over from when when built our new home. Just need to go through it and sort it out.

OSB is like duct tape and wd-40 :p

Looks good Ken

[Ken Higginbotham]

Thanks - Seeing some of the stuff around here got me motivated. :D

Next I plan on building some cabinets & workbench...

[Jeff Cremers]

Very nice the one, I'm going to make is pretty close to that but with less solid wood storage in the back. I like you base section for the plywood.
Thanks

I sketched out alternate configurations for a couple weeks before I built. Couple gaffs - With the wheels it's too high to roll out of the basement. :eek: Which don't matter at this point because with all of those 6x6s it's too heavy to roll anyway. I'll be getting rid of those this spring when I build an out building. The other thing is if I ever get time I'm going to put short vertical, jack-type pcs under each cross member to support the shelves. Those look like weak points as all that supports them are screws.

Ken:

One question: What's the angle on the front supports?

I like your design and result, and I'm considering one very like this one myself. In fact, if you don't mind, what are the measurements you used overall?

Thanks.

Thanks. It tilts back 15 degrees. I know it's 8' inside and I think it was 3' wide. I'll get the measurements tonight.

Edit:81" tall, Top of shelf 1 is 39" and the 2nd is 56 1/2". Top 2 shelves are 24" wide. The very bottom part is 43 1/2" wide over all. The inside width of the plywood holder shelf is 6". From inside upright to inside upright is 8'. None of dims include the casters. I think thats about it. Let me know if there are any I missed.
