You guys could do a woodworking show.

Holy crap! That was 7 years ago. I still haven't finished that cabinet. It's fully functional, but doesn't have any doors. The cabinet and shelves are all open.

I need to finish that.

I'm in the contemplation phase of my next project. I have a crappy table that came with my place, and want to replace it with some sort of chest/table with cabinet doors and full-extension sliding shelves, so I can organize all of the stuff that I currently pile on top of the table.

My last project was getting rid of wall-to-wall carpeting in my condo, and redoing the shoe molding, but I was too tired to document it.

working on floors and shoe molding BLOWS. all that bending over, and crawling about. blech.

Perry Winkle · 03-12-2012, 05:32 PM

Thanks for resurrecting this thread. I missed it the first time around. Great stuff.

Wood working intimidates me, so I tend to just slap stuff together. If I showed you guys the workbenches I knocked together you would laugh (they aren't stable enough by half).

My dad and I threw something together real quickly over the last few weekends.

My washer/dryer (stackable) are in a closet, with very difficult access. I'm going to need to replace them soon, so I finally did something that I've wanted to do for a while - made a roller that fits in my closet.

Here are the materials (though I did end up going back for more hardware).

The handles are spare big-screen TV handles that I rescued from the garbage. The wheels are actually intended to be solo furniture rollers, but I didn't like that they were loose.

The boards are leftovers from an inlaw's floor remodeling.

furniture roller materials

I cut the boards to a bit under 2 feet.

Cutting to Length

Cutting to Length

Here they are, just held together by friction. One is longer, because we intended to cur that side even once it was all joined.

All the pieces

Gluing it up. The glue won't really hold (it's the tongue and groove flooring; bad glue surface), but it will at least hold it well enough to finish the piece. Bar clamps pull it together, and the other clamps and boards keep it flat. The discolored one at the bottom is just there to protect the edge, and is not glued.

Glued up

Once that glue was dry, I drilled pilot holes in the end board using a drill press, then drilled through that into the main body using a hand drill. I glued that one on with the screws in to keep glue out of the pilot holes.

Gluing on the handle board.

Happy Monkey · 08-20-2016, 01:32 PM

As I said, glue won't hold all that well (plus the wheels need to attach to something), so here we screwed on some boards to be the cross supports.

Screwing on the Cross Supports

With that support in place, we cut it with a circular saw against a straightedge to even it off (but I forgot to take the picture).

Ready to be cut even

I then screwed on the handles (hard to see, since they're matte black).

With the Handles - bottom

Happy Monkey · 08-20-2016, 01:34 PM

I used carriage bolts and wingnuts to attach the wheels, to complete it.

Now for the hard part... buying the new washer/dryer...

Gravdigr · 08-20-2016, 01:48 PM

Cool.

lumberjim · 08-20-2016, 03:06 PM

Nicely done

glatt · 08-20-2016, 03:55 PM

So the new machines will stack on that roller so you can pull them out?

It's a very nice looking roller system. Well done.

Happy Monkey · 08-21-2016, 12:28 AM

Thanks, yeah. Washer/dryer go on top.

Happy Monkey · 09-25-2016, 10:27 PM

Still haven't got the new washer/dryer, but I got the old ones on the roller.

In place

glatt · 09-26-2016, 07:44 AM

The link is set to private, so I can't see it.

I bet that was a pain in the ass, wrestling that thing up on top of the stand. Did you wrench your back?
