Materials:
��2 burro wood sawhorses
��4 heavy rollers, from Harbor Freight, my favorite nearly accurate tool store ;)
- Moving blanket (HF)
��10' 2x6 for base board
��Building the cart
- I cut the base boards at 5'.
- Used wood screws and wood glue for double strength.
- Mounted the sawhorses on the boards. Used fir strip to brace the joint on the inside.
- Cut part of the empennage crate to make a cross board. Brace this board with a 2x4 below.
- Mounted 2x6 x 5' across the sawhorses.
- Placed moving blankets on the sawhorses for padding
- Mounted the 4 caster wheels below each sawhorse leg
The cart is 5' wide and a little less than 5' between the horses and should hold 2000 pounds no problem. This also provides another rolling platform for holding tools or whatever is in my hand at the time.
I'll plan to build the empennage on the workbench, and then transfer it to sawhorses and do most of the fuselage build on the cart. When I do finally get it on wheels, I'll buy a set of vehicle dollies for the mains.
