Im not sure of the size, can you have your daughters stand next to it and take more pics? For safety's sake they should dress in all leather as well.

Neat idea. Would be good for moving drywall around as well I am thinking if you are re-doing a room. Just load it up and push it around where you need.

instead of manhandling the plywood I just roll it out into the bay and load if right off the pickup and then roll it back into the shop.

Nice rack, JP...

To slightly thread jack... Am I the only person here than can buy plywood or 2x4s, even linear lumber, that is perfectly straight and after a couple days or a week in the garage it's all bent and warped to shit? Fucking pisses me off. I get to HD, find some beautifully straight 2x4s and buy extra 'cause I'll use them eventually and when eventually happens they are fucking useless. :evil:

thats cause the wood your buying is wet and is drying in your garage. When it dryes its starting to twist

I keep hearing that but I don't know of a whole lot of alternatives...

Check the phone book for local lumber mills, smaller builder supply stores. it might be a few cents more expensive per board foot but its worth it.

put stick spacers in between them and stack neatly..that will cut down some of the twisting

better yet...get better wood
