DIY Plywood Lift System

An efficient workplace is a safe workplace. Sometimes investing in a jig to save the trouble of lifting sheets of wood may be a worthwhile endeavor . This is especially true for an activity you will repeat for multiple projects over the course of your projects.

Tommy from Out of the Woodwork prepared a tutorial and work plan to make a plywood lift system to easily handle full sheets of plywood by yourself. You use it by using the carrier handle and lifting them up on your work table with the mounted lift arm.

Tommy prepared a written guide to use as a companion to his video. Learn more about the tools and materials he used here.
