By now your collective splinters should be removed, the sawdust swept up, the last bit of lacquer applied,
and your plywood projects proudly at
work or on display. Good job, all of you. Our first-ever Home Workshop Challenge asked you to construct something out of a single 4 x 8–foot sheet of plywood. Some people relied on CAD software, some people seemed to have no prior experience operating a saw. We were impressed by all of them. Still, there can only be one winner. And he is Mead Pelletier of Cairo, New York. He designed and crafted a heavy-lifting hand truck, wheels and all, from his sheet of plywood. We were struck by the unique, purpose-driven use of the material and the smart interlocking joinery that makes for a sturdy truck and easy storage. Aside from the bragging rights, Mead is getting a DeWalt 108-Piece Mechanics Socket Set with which he may forever continue to innovate. You can find the complete plans to build his hand truck for yourself below.
