   For the plywood an A-frame type of rolling rack would probably be pretty stable and easy to move.  Just a thought.

   I have built two rolling lumber racks over the last few years, and they both accumulated lumber until they became almost impossible to move.  The A frame that would take sheets of plywood on edge, got cut up and sent to the trash the last time I moved it.

   Portable lumber racks sound real good in those magazines, but I have about decide those are contradictions in terms.

   Yeah, that is one of those things that sound good in theory.  What I have now, has bins in descending sizes, so the 6 footers go one place, 4 footers go another, 2 footers etc.  All of the weight gravitates to the lower bins, and keeps it from getting top heavy.  That one has worked ok for 5 years or so.  It is up off the floor about 4-5 in" so I can pretend I will clean under it some day, and so I can move it if I ever get another pallet jack.

   Since I got rid of it, I have about decided that a pallet jack should be about the 2nd tool a woodworker should get, right after the table saw, that allows him to be a woodworker in the first place.
