I had been about to purchase a solid core door blank from Home Depot to make a workbench out of but I realized that 2 workbench/carts would actually work better in my small shop. These two bench/carts were made entirely of reclaimed material, primarily bed frame angle iron. Here’s how…” – Link.

Mind, I’m not sure how pointful the scrap bedframe iron is. Iron angle is dead cheap from steel suppliers, around here 1″x1″x1/8″ steel angle runs about $8 for 20 feet.
Those are wicked sweet carts! I clicked on a google ad on your page for wheeled carts and found them going for $455.
Nice work, maybe locking wheels, or rotating caster wheels on the next batch.
Hi jonegti,
The casters do rotate. I did consider buying some locking wheels but a set of 8 would have cost $65 so I’ll wait for the dumpster gods to bless me.
