Project 15018EZ:

Kitchen Cart

In designing this mobile cutting board/cart, it was our intention to create a truly versatile portable work area. Whether in the kitchen as a work center, in the dining room for serving, or on the patio for a barbecue, there are many uses for this

attractive, well-made cart. The easy-to-build, simple construction makes it a project even the beginning woodworker can undertake. In fact, the entire project can be made with only two power tools: the table saw and the electric drill.

We used white oak for our cart, although rock maple would also be an excellent choice. Avoid using soft or open grained woods, as these are inappropriate for butcher-block applications. Soft woods, such as pine, won't stand up to wear, while open-grain woods, like red oak, are too porous. The entire project can be

crafted from 3/4" thick stock.
