The Best (and Safest) Way to Carry 8ft x 4ft Sheet Goods on Your Own👍

#onehandedwoodworking #sheetgoods #panelcarrier

Quick video folks as I have been asked on multiple occasions 'what's that thing you're using to carry the sheet goods?' Well this video gives the answer. It is a really simple panel carrier device that allows me to safely and securely carry an 8ft x 4ft panel without the risk of scuffing the edges or putting any additional strain on my back. If you enjoyed it then please give it a thumbs up and maybe consider subscribing to the channel. Best wishes, Leo

Yes I do need to purchase one of these😊👍

Clever device Leo, the thicker that the boards get the better this device alleviates paying a toll on ones back, well worth pointing out 🎥🔨👍👍

[mandyleeson]

Brilliant Leo. Great find! Makes life easier for everyone. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻

[andymarriott]

Now that is an excellent piece of kit and definitely one of those things you will look back at and wonder "how did I ever manage before I had this"

[OldManTony]

It’s a great tool. I always end up getting my 8x4s cut up to fit in the car.

[SMee]

These are a god send. 👌🏾
There are so many handy little accessories like this one, it's a shame they don't get the advertisement needed to get them out there.
Good on you for sharing, mate 👍🏾
Take care buddy.

Not usually one for lifting things mate but that's makes it a lot less hassle 😀

I've ordered one of these at school to get the sheet material from the delivery lorries into the workshop 🙂

Do you know i came across totally by accident your channel and just the three videos i have watched found top notch products and their reviews including this one for the lifter. as I have got older (65) I have found that lifting sheet material is becoming more & more difficult, so when I saw this tool/lifting aid I thought I wonder if it'll do for lifting my galvanised 2500x1250x2mm steel sheets to my guillotine. you know what IT DID ! Regards Steve, Alston Trailers Lancashire. Well done young man your an inspiration to all.

Definitely a great bit of kit Leo, I've been meaning to purchase one of these for about a year now🤔😂. But obviously I'm so strong I can get away with throwing 18mm birch plywood around like a piece of paper 📄😂

[rasmo]

I'm sure the price will go up again soon as more people start to purchase them looks like a useful thing to have.

[frankslittleworkshop]

Great vid Leo, thanks 😁. This must have been an absolute game changer for you. I know how much I struggle with sheet goods. Even though the price is creeping up I think it's probebly time I got one of these for myself 😁. In fact.... I've just decided.... I NEED one of these 😂🤣. Thanks Leo, stay safe mate 😁👍

What Leo doesnt tell you is that before this tool, he would straight slam his fingers through the wood (Reno Williams style) in order to create an ergonomic bowling ball-esque type of grip. Now he doesnt have to was extra wood.

😆😅😅😆😂

Another great video (still haven't watched "changing festool blade video, because I want to continue to like you and not be jealous of that machin lol.
I bought one of these a few weeks back for my one-armed ventures (from a different, and supposedly better, brand).

I was disappointed however when it came to lifting 3 or more sheets at once. It doesnt provide enough pressure to prevent the wood from slipping from the wood/wood contact area. (I now put a piece of silicone baking mat in between pieces to keep them from slipping so easily.)

Also, it didnt do well with a 1" thick MDF... the MDF is too smooth I think.

(And those of you saying "Cripes man... why would you want to even lift all that???" I only have 1 functioning arm and leg, left side is flaccid paralysis, and I'm 6'7" 330lbs so it's not an issue to lift a slab of 1" MDF or three to five ½" plywood sheets with my (now) good arm. But trying to get a grip on them with my hand and no clamp is a nightmare. I had been using nylon webbing, which is a fooookin nightmare as the board wants to tilt in one direction or another.)

[designer-garb]

looks like it would make a good project to build one out of wood, less impact on the environment too.

Just fyi. The Amazon link is to Amazon. Co. Uk and a note comes up saying they are delivering to my area Southeast USA with limited options... Don't know if it's worth your time to provide a usa link for affiliate sales.

Have you found a product that helps you get the large panels from propped up on the side on your horses like that up onto the table? I am assuming this one would not let you hold on to it to tip and lever it across when you got there.

I had one of those work great for a while but then it broke only made of plastic didn’t really last that long
