I saw one of these on display at Louis & Company in Grand Prarie, TX.
Wanted one ever since. Hopefully this summer I can afford it. I'm not old,
but at 58, I have a hard time with some sheet stock (too many injuries from
being a hero in my youth). Take a look at this and see if it would work for
you.

Woodstuff,
Look around in magazine indexes. Swore I saw something
similar in either Am. Woodworker, Shop Notes (most likely), or
even Fine Woodworking, about 2 or 3 years ago.
The one Morris Dovey did is a great one tho!
A couple of issues ago Am. Woodworker had a rolling sheet goods cart.
I'm halfway thru building mine. Doesn't tilt, but you might be able to
figure some modification.

If I can find the time I just might do that. But not for fame.......for me.

Good idea. What worked for me is shown at the link below. I'm almost
certain mine cost less - and it has been used as much as a
work/assembly bench as a sheet handler...

Very slick Morris. One nice thing is, you can custom size it, with
no loss of versitility, taking up even less space in a smaller shop.
Only thing, then you'd lose some potential workbench space.
Now you just need to paint it, or soak it in Diesel fuel, to keep
the carpenter bees away. LOL

Great minds think alike. :-D
Since those pix were taken, I added three coats of spar varnish and
occasional coats of Johnson's floor wax. The varnish was mostly for
looks and the wax makes easy removal of glue and overspray. It's been
a handy little gizmo.
Back when I built it, commercial panel-handling carts were running
well over $500, so I figure my $30 was well-spent. :-)

Forgot to add that it is balanced so that the sheets can be tilted to level
so that they can be moved easily onto a saw or assembly table.

I could build one easily enough but I don't have a place to store it when
not in use.

Here's your chance at fame - design one that folds flat when not in
use!
