DIY Dolly

2013-02-01

Just finished making the "Dolly" which I also plan on using with making videos. This project became not that cheap, because the wheels with bearing have cost 38Lt. This time 3/4" PVC piping was used.

PVC:

  • 2x 7cm long pipes
  • 5x 4cm long pipes
  • 3x T joints
  • 2x 5cm pipes
  • 2x 90 angle joints
  • 4x blind flanges
  • 1x adapter from 3/4" to 1/2"
  • 1x connector for 3/4" pipes
  • 1x 4cm 1/2 pipe for the head

Fastening parts:

  • 4x M8 5cm bolts
  • 8x washers
  • 8x nuts with capron

The video that I took the idea from:

My Dolly is different from the one in the video by having the rear wheels further away from the center. The wheel pipes are different. The process for attaching the head was the same, I have used an industrial hot gun.
