Dolly - but not the sheep

Hang up your Chisels and Plane blades and take a load off with a recently turned goblet of your favourite poison, in the lounge of our Gentlemen's (and ladies) Club.

Looks like the haven’t any brakes but I made one using a piece of kitchen top for moving appliances etc around. Very useful when you need one.

They're on sale frequently in aldidl.

Some round, some oblong and some plastic and modular that can click into others.

But not with brakes.

A Dolly is a very useful thing to have. My wife and I moved some large cabinets around with one when we were decorating. I think I got mine from Machine Mart but I’ve also made my own in the past.

I bought one of those from tool station earlier this year, very handy when unloading the van.
It states on mine a maximum weight of 200kg but looking at the casters I don’t think I’d trust them with a heavy machine, Rutlands no mar casters have been my choice for my machine bases & have proved themselves over many years of use even under the weight of my Wadkin machines.
