Thanks for showing us how you did this! I'm going to add one thing and that may make a difference to some of us, and that is checking for the rotation arc of the caster mechanism so that it stays within the footprint of the platform. That's something that may help get multiple platforms closer together or a platform closer to the wall. Lastly, I will probably take some of mine and put lightweight carpet on them for furniture moving.

Does my soul good to see someone actually laying out the screw positions nice and neat instead of the willy-nilly disorder that drives me crazy........I keep a trim router set up with a small roundover bit and my router table is generally set up with a larger one. Seems like I have 50 router bits but 95% of the time I'm using the roundover.
@RightOnJonCrane3 жыл бұрын
Yes I’ve always thought that when you lay out the screws nice and neat you don’t notice them and when they are all crazy they stick out like a sore thumb! 👍💥 🔨 Thats cool you have the routers set up like that too. Super handy and ready to roll.

I like the drop in board idea if you want a full flat top ..I am sure you have seen the cheap carts where they mill / router out the big slot in the board for a hand hole taking away half of the strength of the wood

Right! Sometimes it’s nice to have it flat when setting a drill press or something like that on it. 👍👍

Those carts are great! I have always had a problem with the wheels developing flat spots. Consequently, i switched to pallets. Great stuff! Cheers

Jon, the one thing I see missing, is where I'm located in Central Pennsylvania , are most of the carts I have used or seen have carpet on the tops of them or even a ruff rubber matting of a old belting material so that what your moving doesn't slip off. Nice job on them !!

These are awesome, thanks so much for sharing. Can you describe how you might build a vertical shelving unit atop one of these? For say, something like heavy vintage stereo equipment and vinyl albums?
@RightOnJonCrane Жыл бұрын
Hi Mina! Right On! 🙌 Thanks for watching! I have an extensive album collection myself! I think to build a shelf unit I would build it out of 3/4 finished plywood on with plywood shelving. You could make a 2” shelf nosing to help with deflection but the shelves won’t be very long which is good. I would make all of the shelves fixed and not adjustable. That would be a strong unit. Of course you could design it many ways depending on the aesthetic you have in your home or studio. Hope that helps!
Sweet. Where do I find those heavy duty casters you like best, low profile type as its for a garage refrig stand so we can move it around easy??? Thank you in advance.
