Were those rollers 3" or 4". Since I'm ordering online, I want to have the O.D. s right.

Thanks!

No wonder you are asking, I had a hell of a time finding them.

I saw several there, some 3 inchers and some 4 inchers. Of course maybe size doesn't matter :wink:

I saw these at J & Ms. They are supposably even better than the poly ones and they are cheap.

They look great, give it a shot. I'm curious to see if they need to be plained so they roll good.

Here are some tips to making a full size one.

Use 2x4s to make your box, then use 12x1 wood to make an inside layer for your wheels and axle.

this will be realy strong and easy to make. Use all thread for your axle and a piece of PVC for a space guide on both sides of the wheels.


Here is some threaded rod.

this is a big one of these.

You can mount an office chair like this to the dolly buy removeing the wheels and puting screw's in there place. Add some nice black automotive carpet and it looks store bought.


P.S. the chair has an up and down and spins so you can get realy creative. :wink:

You can use just a tripod head, you don't need the whole thing.

I was thinking if I could dream up a way to be able to just lock the legs onto the dolly in a kind of sheath it would free things up even more (plus the head on my tripod is a beast and a half to remove). I could drop my tripod in and then pull it out for the next shot.

It seems the most important thing would be to match the angles of that particular tripods' legs precisely.

And if I wanted to do a separate one for each tripod leg, I just cut the wood pieces to angle them right. Simple, direct. Wow thanks!

No you don't need to. Just pick the hight you want and close all the legs together wrap them in a towel and drop it in. if you use the right size pipe it should fit tight and be snug.

You are going to push this thing around not jump skateboard ramps and do power slides, ya know what I'm saving lol.

You can do some kind of bungie cord thing to keep it down in there.

How many push ups should i do to get stronger the fastest? Im a 15 year old high school wrestler and i need to get stronger soon. summer practices start in a week and i have a rivalry with a kid on my team. the one thing keeping me from beating him is my strength. can someone give me a push up plan so get my upper body stronger. i am willing to put in a lot of push ups every day. Thank you.
