The umbrella bought from Walmart, The single wheel post was switched out for wider board to give it strength for Transport. The table top is completely removable and has two boards under it that align it on top. I painted the candy cart with three 4 coats of High Gloss paint. The table top is 4 layers of clear coat with sanding in-between. The rough dimensions are around 4ft x 2 ft. The table top was purchased from Lowe's.

Where can I get those type of wheels and axle ? Awesome project bro

[@centercitydevelepmentgroup2801]

Fantastic looking cart! Where did you get the wheels from. Thank you

[@joshuasshow2401]

Do you have the link from where you got the wheels on Amazon? I can’t find them. Also would I be able to use your charcuterie cart idea that is collapsible and add those wheels instead of the 4 small ones? Thank you so much! I love all the work you do! You inspire so many people!!!

[@maau6179]

Yeah, first to comment! Thanks Ben for all the support and joy you are putting out in the world. What was the polish you used on the table top?

[@MakerDecor]

Hi, thank you for commenting. I used the brand Behr clear coat for the table top. It was glossy and I applied it 4 times with light sanding in-between to make is smooth. Thank you.

[@deborahhall4790]

Thank you so much, this is exactly what I was looking for, I have made the cart but need it to be mobile, and I wanted to use bicycle wheels!! I can’t wait to finish it, can you provide the link for the front wheel or the size description?

Hey, amazing video, just what I’ve been looking for. Do you have any advice on making this a cotton candy cart with a door on the rear to store stock and a shelf inside so I can have the machine lower (I plan to switch out the table top for a cutout to accommodate the bubble of the machine, so the machine is integrated and not on top) really hope in making sense. Thank you

[@MakerDecor]

Hi thanks for watching. Yes I know what you are talking about. I went back and fourth on how to make the top and was unsure to incorporate the cutout or not. Even thought about adding a drain sink for drinks and such. There was a lot of different tops for cotton candy or people used for drinks. But I decided to just do the plain top as it would benefit more people and can be easily changed out for other tops I may do later. For the door, I had thought about doing it but decided not to for an easier build for people. But if I was going to add it, I would brace the back with a 2 x 4 or the very least a 1 x 4 top and bottom of the back. This would help stabilize the cart as it gets most of its strength from the box. Then just add a 1 x 2 to the sides to help give space to attach the hinges and the lock or clip to keep the door secure. It really would be an easy change to do and I think it is worth it. Hope this helps and good luck!

[@cabincrewche5695]

@@MakerDecor ahh you’re too kind! Thank you for taking the time to reply! Will let you know how I get on once I buy the plans.

[@yasmineplaylist334]

have you made a cart with movable wooden wheels?

[@daisyalvarado7225]

Can you add opening on the top for containers? And can you do the cuts with jigsaw?

[@MakerDecor]

Hi, yes you can do the cuts with a jigsaw. You just need to go slow or have something on the side of the jigsaw to help guide the cut straight, similar to the technique used in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWrClomLgZuAiZo Regarding adding an opening, yes that is possible. But I chose to build and create the plans to keep as simple as possible. But I have seen people use the plans and create shelving, doors, etc to the cart. These are just the basic plans and can be adjusted for how they would best fit your need.

[@MakerDecor]

Thank you!

[@sarahcosper2137]

about how much in materials did it cost?

[@lvlavie6068]

Love it! Do you think it would be possible to add fenders over the wheels so that dirt doesn't get on the box? Would that change the build in any way?

[@MakerDecor]

Hmm, never thought of that. I think it would not be too difficult, just adding a couple of screw to the sides should hold it in place.👍

[@lvlavie6068]

[@zohafarrukh6727]

Hi! Love the cart. Where did you get the sign on the front of the cart?

[@MakerDecor]

Hi, thanks for watching. I 3D printed it. It was just practice because I have a new 3d printer and wanted to see what I could create, lol.

[@christinaeayala]

Quality content per usual.. appreciate how you make things supply/builder friendly.. can I ask how much this cost you to make approximately?

[@MakerDecor]

Hi thanks for watching and commenting I can give you a quick guestimate as some pieces were bought separately and earlier in preparation to see if it would work, lol. Most was from Home Depot or Lowe's, the most expensive part was probably the wheels. I wanted to get metal wheels instead of plastic. The Wheels were Amazon around $120 ish, sheet of plywood $50 ish, single Wheel $20, other wood $35 ish, Table Top $30 ish. I would say around $250-$275 ish area? BUT it can be a lot cheaper especially if you find wheels from a old childs bike that still look good. Then that drops almost in half! So it can be done for maybe around $150 ish if you have bike wheels or find them at a garage sale. You would need a set of front wheels. I was ok with spending more because of the new quality and under $300 for a nice cart I can rent easily and make my money back quickly or sell and make a profit. Thank for your question hope that helps.

[@cupcakepeachez]

Where did you purchase the table top? And what kind of would is it?

[@MakerDecor]

@@cupcakepeachez Hi I purchased the table top from Lowe's hardware store. It is pine and it was actually for building your own shelving/ cabinet section. Home Depot has them as well. And both have different sizes already cut and ready to use. It worked out great.

[@manuelcastellon3697]

What size wheels did you use? You need to do workshops. I would love to fly out to Texas and attend one.

[@MakerDecor]

Hi the wheel was 20 inches and thank you very much for your comment! Maybe someday.

[@marieduncan888]

This was awesome...I made a box to use for something totally different before covid...now I was looking for something else to do with it. The wheels where my concern...is that a kit fir the cart?

[@MakerDecor]

Hi, thank you. The wheels and axel were the hard part to figure out. This is not a kit for a cart. The plans available on the Etsy store include all the sizes, and images of what I used to build the cart including where I purchased all the materials. It has the sizes of the wheels, axel, metal pipe, threaded pipe, washers, bolts, etc. So it really is just the instructions on how to build it. Thank you and good luck!

[@marieduncan888]

@@MakerDecor ok. I would need the axel part then. The box is already built... I want to conform it to a cart

[@nealtiana7798]

Can you please do a tutorial on how to do the “ripple” props ? I can’t figure them out 😩

[@MakerDecor]

Hi thanks for watching and commenting. I know, I have been trying to figure out a different way. Most are made with a CNC machine. But I have been trying to think of a different way of doing them. When I figure it out I will definitely post it because I like the look. Hopefully soon. Thanks!

But after purchase message me through the etsy store if you have any additional questions and I will do my best to help. Thank you! www.etsy.com/listing/1217794383/candy-cart-trolley-style-plans-

[@salaavicc]

Is there a way to use the inside as storage?

[@MakerDecor]

Hi, yes it would be easy to change some of the plans to add a door or leave open. I have seen many different versions of this one from doors to the back to a cut open top for cotton candy. I left the plans blank and the box open just to keep it simple. But would be easy to change to what best fits your needs. Thanks for watching!!

[@aileengonzalez8321]

Is there a way to make this collapsible like your other candy cart?

[@MakerDecor]

This one, no. But I hope to be working on one by the end of the year. Thank you
