ultimate Lumber Center This lumber rack has room for much more than boards. As I searched for a board in my lumber rack awhile ago, I happened to notice how much empty space there was between the stacks. I decided that space could be put to much better use, so I came up with this multi-functional lumber storage center. As you can see from the photo, this lumber center not only provides plenty of storage for boards of various lengths and widths, but it also keeps cutoffs and shorter stock well organized. There are deep, removable drawers for tools and supplies, as well. Another nice feature is the addition of a worksurface with a built-in miter saw. I used to have to tote unwieldy boards across the shop to rough cut them, but now I can make those cuts on the spot. The rack is made of dimensional lumber and plywood available at any home center. The supports will safely hold a good-sized supply of lumber. Most of the weight rests on the floor, and it’s kept upright by screwing it to the wall studs. 74
