Hi,

4 years ago I bought a kitchen cart with wire baskets and a butcher block wood top at target for $ 69.00. When I put it together I put the wood top on the bottom to make a shaft caddy like Joe B was showing on his site. It work great!

For the last 3 years I have been trying to find this item but it vanish from the face of the earth, until this weekend. Menards has a sale going on these for 34.95 until the 30th.

The old cart in the back holds over 200 shafts. This new one holds 120 but they will take a 1" dowel which the old one would not.

Darn, I wanted one of those. We just got a Lowes up here in Canuckville but they don't carry them. No Menards yet.

Check Wal Mart too. If you do a search on the USA Wal Mart site, its listed
as a kitchen Cart under the brand name of Seville. These aren't available in Canadian Wal Marts so I can't check to see if the holes are large enuff for a dowel. The price is way more than this one tho.

I will have to see if Menards will ship one to me. They have a store in Minot ND. Thats the closest.

I have been searching for something like that for a year and haven't found anything close. I have a cardboard box with holes drilled in it instead. I will keep looking.

For $20 ( 15 on sale sometimes ) you can get a 9 x 9 ( 1 1/4 " square holes ) wire store rack assembly. You can can make two racks from one box.
Assemble them with zip ties.
I have a lot of them all over.
 
Rick, do you know if theres a link to this on there website? I looked and cant find it. We don't have Menards down south, was wanting to try to buy online
 
Not listed for online purchases

But I called the local Menard's store to me, 65 miles away, they have them in stock under the part number 2115450 and are willing to ship. SO try Menard's website and locate the nearest store to you, talk to someone in the "hardware" department to order it.
 
Those carts are the nutts. Beats the heck outta unscrewing/screwing that stupid little hook in shaft and then hanging it up every time you want to cut shafts. If you're short on floor space just hang the whole cart on the wall out of the way till shaft cutting season comes around. I found one that looks like the same brand name but was used in the hotel/restaurant biz for catering room service. Holds about 550 sticks but the cost new is outrageous. Fortunately, my cost was way less.;) Some of the smaller ones would be nice also. Have to check it out.
 
Kim, sanding arbors, point jig, glue jig and the best you can come up with is a card board box?

I hereby challenge you to make a shaft caddy.

Thanks for the heads up. I went a bought one today and it does work great.
 
I bought one at Target a couple of years ago, but it seems that model has been discontinued.
There's a model that looks simlar to what Rick was describing called a "3 tier metal trolley." For $40, it might be worth a trip to figure out if it would work. http://www.target.com/p/3-Tier-Metal-Trolley/-/A-10047402

Unfortunately, "not sold in stores" according to the URL - thought I'd save you a trip - though, who knows what else you might find.
