Great idea. I made one from wood with lawn mower wheels and random parts from my shop. It works great

Made my first one 30 years ago. From hardwood with carpeting inside to protect the doors I was hanging in a high-rise hotel. Lost track of how many but had it down to a science. Still have it.

Actually, My uncle who was a top-notch carpenter gave me his Porter-Cable planer. Easy adjust on the fly. Accurate bevel plate. Still works like a champ. Also have a Bosch 3 incher. I'll kick any door's ass. LOL

ramdodgetruck - You're bringing back some fond memories for me. In the late 70's I had a great carpenter working with/for me rebopping a 150 year old tavern. He directed me to make rabbeted jambsets onsite out of 5/4 clear white pine - he said nothing else would do for the vintage 1 3/4 quartersawn oak doors we were going to use. When it came time to hang the doors, he produced a well-used Porter Cable planer to size the gaps and cut the bevels. He told me he had bought it decades before when he got a job hanging all the doors at a hotel. Forty years later, those heavy doors are still swinging and latching up like the day we hung them - that planer is probably still eating wood, too.

Buddy, not sure where your from, but been selling, dealing with, machining, hanging & hardwareing doors for 35+years myself. We may have worked together or at least know ea other. The port-a-plane was the best planner out there (in my opinion), not being able to find blades made me sick. Didn't see your post before I posted, put an added feature I like. But good post, be safe out there!

Acquire welding and grinding skills, and you open up a world of custom possibilities. Very practical skills to have.

Very nice. Great idea.

I clicked on this video because I know it is interesting 😄 it is

I love it! I'd want to make the same thing but use TWO; one at the front of the load and one at the back. Front: two 20" wheels on the axle. Rear: 6" or 8" swivel castor under the channel. Thanks for the ideas!!! I was thinking of fabricating a "cricket", but yours is GENIUS!

That's great! Now you can take your plywood for a walk. Mine loves to go flying on windy days.

Simplicity at its Best, great idea, thank you for sharing

good to see people still making stuff. we need more of the world to make stuff, and not just be mindless consumers. have a great day yall!

Congratulations. I'm not sure I need one of these but it shows how an implement is done so everybody can adapt this project to one' s needs. Post more videos, please. Greetings from Portugal.

Now, why didn't I think of this? Great idea and really helpful too. Thank you!

I made mine 36" long and put a small swivel caster at the back end. Works great.

Excelente,muy bueno y práctico FELICITACIONES

Purdy cool! Great for door guys and/or pad it for glass!! Thanks!

So simple, so practical, so useful, so building one tomorrow... fantastic idea my man!

Thanks Doc, Smarter, not harder. Love the videos.

Been using something very sim. for hauling commercial doors for 30+ years. Some use wood as the main frame, I used Alum & made mine wider and added a threaded rod drive handle/material holder. With threaded rod, you can add a coupling with more rod for larger material(most doors are 3', so I can add a coupling & 12" of rod to handle 4') . The rod I use is (3/8")allows you to walk off and your plywood, solid core wood or HM door to stand there while you load more on or unload it. Plus not having to pick it up & carry it, just drive it. Unscrew the rod and it's ready to be stowed away. Not taking anything away from this, it's a nice unit. Just giving a little spin that works great for me.

Weld another handle to put a strap for more stability. You can use two of them for longer objects with help from another person. Great job.

As a pipe fitter I've used these saddle rollers for years. One person said to use pipes as axel shaft mounts. This makes repairs easy. With good wheels we could move steel population weighing Up to 30 lbs a ft and 21 ft long with only one man on a solid floor. This is a great tool and a real back saver

Add one or two round holes or brackets and when needed you can add a taller handle for more control depending on what you're moving around.

Needed a larger axle, with no so much play between it and the bearing.

Great little thing you came up with!! So simple, and people here could avoid several health troubles with simple things as this one!! I hope this good idea of yours, will bring you some good money some day!! Think of it! Good luck, as you well deserv it!!

They had one of these in when I was at college over thirty years ago.

For those nice days you feel like talking your plywood for a walk!! LOL!

Have the wheels and gone make me one of those! Question, where can I find that pencil you used, live in Spain and haven't found that sort anywhere! Saw one years ago and missed to question the guy where he got it from!

Good job, good comments, yes axle and bearing sizing, clamping good points. Also for a bit of stability and ease the loading add 4 inches to each end and add swivel castors under. Much easier to load. Also as an option to assist clamping weld stubs to flange instead of across web of channel. Been using them for years. Add a heavy rod for steering assist...

Good idea very useful

That would be good for fence panels. Nice job

Perfectly, and if to use rubber Car Luggage Strap from the handle to plywood top - will be even more comfortable

Good video. Great job

Look at those bubblegum welds. 🤤 Cool idea.

Made one to get a 12ft patio door into a fenced back yard for replacement. I made it with two tires from a old lawn mower long bolts welded to a piece of box steel with a three ft. Two by eight with a fence down one side. Worked great. Came in handy for moving eight foot solid wood doors through the house we trimmed. I could fur up with scrap two by’s to clear wheels and move cabents too. Lost track how many times it saved my back

What is with the big hole in the floor, perhaps you could make a cover.

That could be used for many things!! Cool invention!!!! This man is smart.

Show!!!✌

Could definitely use a heavier duty version of this. Will have to try it when I get my welder

Great idea mate, really handy!!

Nice job . Congratulations Sir

Should've welded on spindles rather than using threaded rod. Other than that good build. Good idia.

calvingreene90 your response doesn't make sense. Threaded rod doesn't make for a good spindle/ smooth surface. Also, it can't be considered the right way, so yeah. Its a good idea just not executed properly. If he would have at least turned the mating surface, at least then it would minimise fricton. Plus the wheels had plastic hubs. So plastic hub rubbing on sharp threaded rod deffinatly doesnt = long life.

@ Eric McGinnis I was responding to Crustyswede1 but I should have labeled it but in all fairness to myself i spent the previous sever hours on a forum that automatically put in who you replied to. Those wheels have what look like ball bearings. But still using a smooth rod is the right way of doing it.

Pretty wide for one board. How about eight to ten boards, would it still be easy to move?

Clever, but is built too heavy for that purpose. The metal parts could be of much lighter gauge.

We have been using one of these for years .. put the plywood in the middle it will roll a lot better .. add a long handle on the side as tall as the plywood and put a clip over the top so it can't fall over

I made two out of 2x6 pressure treated wood with straps a long time ago ... So my snowmobile's carbide runners and skis don't mark up my garage floor . Same wheels as well . 👌

Brilliant idea, good work!

Oddly uses the spanner back to front, but a handy little helper.

@robertlawson8572

He appears, in the clip, to use the adjustable spanner (Crescent Wrench) correctly. Used the other way, approximately the same force is applied to the retreating jaw, but at a greater distance from the wrench body, doing, or potentially doing, greater damage to the wrench adjustment mechanism. It's fairly academic, though. Pipe wrenches (Stillson and Leader types) are used the other way, since that's how the mechanism's designed to bite on pipe...

The whole time I was like wtf is that gonna be used for then as soon as I saw the wood panel I was like holy hell thats gonna be super useful

4:40 minuets of my life that i will never get back.

The last year I worked at Tuff Shed was in 2002. They had these things back then. Used to carry 16 foot Walls by myself with these.

Built one out of wood twenty years ago for moving wood around the barn. Built one out of steel forty years ago to move bus duct on a construction job. Carpenters have been using them for likely over a hundred years as a door dolly. If you slide it to the balance point of something heavy it makes it easy for one person to use.

We have one for 800lb granite islands.works great and takes up very little space.

Very good idea 👍👍👍

drywallers use something very similar too....to carry more than one sheet at the time. Well made though

Very smart and well done!

For the first video, Or you can add some sandpaper to the base of it so the plywood or whatever else you put on there don't slide. Also, they already have something like that.

Good idea! Anyone can build this with whatever mods they need for their needs.

Very nice. It seems no ones around when im trying to move somthing. Need to make one of those

You never seen a Drywall dolly ?

drill 2 holes in sides of base so you can hook bungy cord over the top of wood/door and keep roller in place,also sleeve studding to take up gap in wheel bearings,even wraps of electrical tape would do to centralise them,other wise good idea

This is a version of a door dolly, The door dolly hinges in the middle to hold on to the door so you can install the hardware and transport doors with out hurting your back.

Good job bud.i use this thing called a troll it has one wheel and a handle like that its good 4 drywall but yours is kind of 4 wheel drive it would work great with plywood outside.you might make the handle a little longer but great idea 👍

Thanks so much for sharing👍

It serves your purpose. Forget about the should and shouldn't. It does the job for you.

I think that this is a great idea if u are on a job site an u have to move any type of 4×8 sheeting by yourself!!!

We in the iron trade 30 years ago made these from scratch with iron wheels for moving sheet steel etc etc

This is a great idea. We were using a variation of this in the glass business in the 70's. It was longer, about 6', and the channel was lined with rubber tire tread to set glass on. We used this device to move very large sheets of 1/4" plate glass 84" tall and 108" long or longer. But as you can see this "dolly" is adaptable to many jobs.

Great idea. Ingenious design. You did use the adjustable wrench backwards but , You still got the job done. ( I'm OCDC ) that's the only reason I mention it. Thumbs up on the idea.

Masz fajne pomysły :-) może masz pomysł na stół warsztatowy podnoszony nożycowy ,chętnie zobaczę jak ci wyjdzie :) :)

I had the same idea a week ago. I needed wheels to move a tonneau cover, but had none.

Great work ,Just two thing's wrong with this is ,you should cut the channel along it's length and hinge with a heavy duty hinge. So when you put a load on to it , it will camp it in place and make it more stable manoeuvring it, but place the panel or panels just of centre and not on the end , as the buggy will take all the weight .

zonoz To the hinge pin, on which the two sides are free to rotate.

nice. I think a rubber (or other material) as a gripper would be nice on top, and a handle on both sides, not just one. Then a rope or bungie cord could strap items on top. Whether they are panels over bumpy ground or other items.

felicitaciones por algo practico e ingenioso jorge de argentina

Couple of washer on each side of the wheels would be good

Gracias por compartir tu ingenió

Another potentially useful tool to make with my powerarc. I'd make it a bit more generic so that it can carry around more than plywood.

Super nifty mate but it l be much adherent and safe if you add some rubber pads where the wood board meets the metall.other than that it s 10 out a 10 mate.keep going ...

Very good idea thanks for sharing

Muy buen invento creo que copiare uno igual para mi taller

Great idea, but too heavy! If you make out of aluminum and extend handle about 20” up from axel, then when you get to places you can’t roll over you can center the load and lift with one hand over obstruction. You can also keep load centered bearing all weight and turn as you please!
