great video, but why not pull the threaded bar out to the right length so you only have to cut 1 side,+ the longer offcut is of more use

Reminds me of when we where kids we used to make go carts with old pram wheels, and then find a steep hill and go for it with no brakes those were the days, thanks for the video Boss

That was lovely Robin, I have a pair of those wheels, I have been meaning to make one for sheet goods but I will make it wide like yours and add battens for each task. The pump up tyres make all the difference over rough ground. We all remember the solid tyre wheel barrows!

Great idea and setup. I put MTB tyre sealant into wheelbarrow wheels and its great to seal up flats when working on rough terrain, seals punctures straight away. Thanks

Excellent idea Robin! The simplest creations are always the best👍👍

Great video Robin, thanks !!!

Robin you are a man after my own heart, one of things I love about my/our work is not just creating the big stuff it using and working your brain to create and engineer things that are simple but effective to aide us to work smarter not harder and I never go anywhere without my two bibals ie screwfix & toolstation catalogues, I see people look at me when I get in one these creative zones, I see the look on the face and I know there thinking "come on don't make love to it let's just carry it ect " or what ever and I say the cheapest and most cost effective way to it is the right way many times has loss of half an hour saved me hours , you are like a conductor of an orchestra an I am loving the music I hear 😀😊😉❤💙

Good to see someone using a push stick.

Good drilling - when I need a drill hole though the centre of a piece of timber I mark both sides drill half way then drill through from the other side - the bit will always find the hole.

What a great idea, thanks very much.

This was a life saver! Me and my back are very grateful! 😂

That was wheely good

Really good idea Robin, I love the fact you always wear your ear defenders. It's something I regret not doing as now I suffer from tinnitus.

Lovely. Can’t wait to c those trusses rollin to their new home. I am sure u use come alongs to lift them. The scaffolding probably gifts u lift points to attach to.

Btw, I like the saw action whilst cutting with the grinder

Very nice

Necessity is the mother of invention, so I nicked the wheels and shaft of the customers wheelie bin and knocked up an excellent little dolly for moving an rsj around the outside of a house. And yes the wheelie bin was as good as new when finished.

Just to say it’s probably easier to just trench or router a slot for the axel for us mere mortals. Great idea I have a little thing I made for dealing with heavy doors, similar principle

It's a great idea for moving heavy and cumbersome items 👍 Lots of very simple ideas that we don't think of until we see them I'm gong to nit pick though as I didn't see those plastic pipe things go on the threaded bar in the second build

I help my mate Dave who does a lot of timber frame and its no joke lifting those trusses, your so right for many reasons using some sort of transport.

Hello Robin, Great video. God bless you my brother. Best wishes from Leicester ENGLAND Ahmed

Glue one to each rigger boot and you have a super fast way of getting around the site. Seriously, good idea. However, as others have suggested, I would have cut a groove in the lower piece and trapped it between the two. How about a detachable extension to convert it to a timber trolley, raising beams off the deck to just below saw horse height?

Look after your body and don't struggle it will last longer. I've seen to many trades struggling when with a little bit of thought they could save all the effort. Cheers Robin.👍

'Last you a lifetime'..................It doesn't look like this was the first time you've made one Robin 😀

I tell you what Robin, you need sign up for the Red bull challenge. Genius 💡 ideas simple but affect.

Definitely clamp that timber when drilling with a big auger bit.

Smart video, Brain or Brawn 💪👍

Robin I thought for a minute you were entering the red bull soapbox race 🤣🤣

I just carry the door in my shoulder 🤣🤣🤣 and save all the time making this

Our film carpenters made those to manoeuvre awkward pieces of scenery and wall sections through the stages…. Everyone here called them “skates” !

virginal saw horses. ive not actually used a timber saw horse for forever....think i need to make myself a couple now

A great cheap idea,I’ll make one for my windows and french doors,it will help working on my own 👍

I wish you would have demonstrated how to use it with different heavyweight materials. Thanks!

love your work yet, I would have thought you would have use less of the threaded bar so less wast!

The trolley dollies 😁🤟🇮🇪☘️👋

Another tip before cutting the threads to measure: put the nuts on, and take the nuts of after cutting, It help straighten the thread if damaged after cutting.

I love the way you make tools with your tools Robin

the white pipe saved the day I reckon? What was it? For us mortals getting seperate things to work together is an exercise in frustration

PVC, all-thread, and wheel barrow wheels. Store that info away for future use. Always interesting to wander through the hardware section of a store finding things that fit snugly in and over other things. PVC, Pex, all-thread, copper, and black pipe. What size all-thread did you use for the axle (looked like 3/4”)?

No wonder there’s a threaded rod shortage !!🤓😀

there's got to be a go kart video next

A lot faster for the second one!

Makes life much easier. Hi Robin a question if I may? What model table saw is that and if you had to replace it would you get the same one? I'm needing to buy one and have had a few different big workshop table saws but never a portable one. Looking for some guidance.

Only few comments 🙈🙈🙈🙈 when you put your hand on wood near where you was drilling with auger bit , and why not push threaded stud all way through instead of cutting it twice “measure twice cut once “😂😂

Went through his hand

£5 of timber? When was this filmed, 2002?

absolutely brilliant, if you make and put stabilizers on the truss, only one man needed!

Next week can you skateboard them down a steep hill

Need to move an oval table

"Shame on you Robin", grinding with a cut off disc. Lol

Nice, work smarter NOT harder

‘Grandad makes a go kart ‘

A clamp?

I would have routered out a groove rather than drill with the auger and sandwiched the axles between the two pieces of wood

If as you said you have been making them all your working life you must have a lot of them so why not recycle some of the old ones after all £30 is £30 or do you just throw them in the skip once you have finished with them.

Great little project - BUT! - Those plastic sleeves ?? .... OOPS!! ;-)

I'm surprised you didn't use the wedding ring on the shaft of the auger bit trick for keeping it level. Or a few washers stuck together. I use it all the time, great for keeping it level on a horizontal. Loved the dollies though, quick and easy.

Blue Peter badge on its way….

And it still took three men to move the truss?!

Oi! Why not just start at one end of the bar and cut the other end of the bar? Oh. You did on the next one.

i'd rather spend £30 and 30 minutes doing this, than lifting them and potentially hurting your back or damaging one

For 35 pounds you could get some men at the pub to come and carry it around and not have to do all this and more.

Your not making that for £30
