MAKE THIS CART - FURNITURE DOLLY -

[@ScoutCrafter]

Those are really nice!!! That center board makes all the difference! Great job Jon!!

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Right on! 👍Thanks John! Yes, so many times with those other cheaper carts I was cutting plywood to go over the top.

[@not2fast4u2c]

I like the drop in board idea if you want a full flat top ..I am sure you have seen the cheap carts where they mill / router out the big slot in the board for a hand hole taking away half of the strength of the wood

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Right! Sometimes it’s nice to have it flat when setting a drill press or something like that on it. 👍👍

[@setdown2]

Sharing info that you Know from your working life is where it’s at I agree... Those dollies are ultra heavy duty and will last a lifetime...good stuffff...stay safe....

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Right on! 👍Thanks Chuck! I really enjoy how much is shared on KZbin.

[@KenHill]

Thanks for showing us how you did this! I'm going to add one thing and that may make a difference to some of us, and that is checking for the rotation arc of the caster mechanism so that it stays within the footprint of the platform. That's something that may help get multiple platforms closer together or a platform closer to the wall. Lastly, I will probably take some of mine and put lightweight carpet on them for furniture moving.

Nothing like a good Dolly!! Well done Bud!! Taking a Roadtrip tonight to Indiana, gonna take the Ol' Dopp Bag on it's maiden voyage!!☺

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Hey right on Roadking! That’s great to hear. Indiana!

[@tyburhoe]

Great one Jon-san, I really like the middle board you put in there as well. Very useful - not only for moving equipment around, but for moving the kids around as well. Thanks for another stellar episode my friend!!!

[@RightOnJonCrane]

These make great bumper cars!! Right on! 👍Thanks Ty!!

Completely new at this, so asking beginner questions. At about 6:10 when you're getting ready to glue some things together, you tell us you have your square on the table. That's true - but it's not touching the boards - ? Since the upper boards are raised (by the lower boards) above the table surface, the square itself cannot touch both upper and lower boards at the same time. So how do I square the upper boards with the lower boards? What if I put a thin board on edge - thin but at least as tall from the surface of the table (perpendicular) as the thickness of both boards together - between the square and the boards so they both get squared together at the same time? Are there other ways? I'm gonna check my wood piles in the garage to see what I have to make a couple of these. Some friends and I move furniture for other people frequently, so these will be very useful!

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Hi John! Thanks for watching and it’s cool you will be building some carts. These are so much better than the junk sold at the big box stores. If you put the square on the table and butt the 2x4 ends into the square it will work out good. Next put the plywood on top and nail or screw on. You certainly can put some scrap pieces of wood on the table so both the 2x4s and the plywood can butt into something. You can make a jig that all the parts fit onto. But you can also use the square. Sometimes I’ll tilt the square up. I’ll align the long edge of the square and lift up on the short edge to line things up if that makes sense. Hard to describe. I can see at 6:50 or so that I now have the square butted up against the 2x4 ends. Hope this helps and hope your carts come out great!

[@stanellis7805]

Awesome build. Right on!!! My cheap Harbor Freight ones are a joke.

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Right on! 👍Thanks Stan! I’ve broken quite a few of those cheaper carts. Even these should have stronger casters!

[@veronicarowland1243]

I love it, on it already have my 2/4's for the bottom base. Thank you for sharing your knowledge may continue blessing you to be able to share how to do it 😊

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Right On Veronica! That’s awesome 👏 Thanks for watching and thanks for letting me know that your building some carts! That’s cool!

[@zrkn1]

Very nice and useful dolly carts. Thank you and have a great weekend.

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Right on! 👍Thanks !!

[@kooldoozer]

You're right on those castor wheels. The single bolt design is really strong and simple. Lower profile too. --Doozer

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Right on! 👍Thanks Doozer! I’ve had so many of those wheels snap on cheaper carts.

[@east_coast_vintage_tools]

Deluxe!!!! - Great looking carts!!!

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Right on! 👍Thanks! Got to keep things rolling!

[@CM_STILL_PLAYING]

Great creation and great explanation!! BEST

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Nice cart/dolly. They are great to have around.

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Right on! 👍Thanks Randy! I see you have some steel ones in the shop.

[@c123bthunderpig]

Great design, will last forever, outstanding shop - inspirational However best part - no shop is complete with a SHOP CAT :-)

[@rawbacon]

Does my soul good to see someone actually laying out the screw positions nice and neat instead of the willy-nilly disorder that drives me crazy........I keep a trim router set up with a small roundover bit and my router table is generally set up with a larger one. Seems like I have 50 router bits but 95% of the time I'm using the roundover.

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Yes I’ve always thought that when you lay out the screws nice and neat you don’t notice them and when they are all crazy they stick out like a sore thumb! 👍💥 🔨 Thats cool you have the routers set up like that too. Super handy and ready to roll.

[@jcclassybro9426]

You seem pretty meticulous with your work....my compliments on how you work and take your trade to heart...God Bless

[@guloguloguy]

WOW!!!!!!!! NICE PROJECTS!!! NICE SHOP!!!!!!!!!!! DANG!!!!!!!

[@joeheilm]

Those carts are great! I have always had a problem with the wheels developing flat spots. Consequently, i switched to pallets. Great stuff! Cheers

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Right On Joe! 👍 Pallets?! 😄 Even these carts could use some heavier capacity casters. 💪

[@stuartlockwood9645]

Hi Jon☺, nice carts , apart from moving things easy they make excellent fun for kids to mess about on,ask how I know,lol, thanks for the video Jon,I hope the weather's being good to you, we've got snow here tday, not much but the roads are bad. Stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart.uk.

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Right on! 👍Thanks Stuart! ❄️ ❄️ We have not had any yet where I live here On Bainbridge Island. But we usually get a few good storms. I’ve got some fire wood 🪵 ready to go!

[@tonylenge424]

Great looking carts and your right about how useful they are. I been using HF carts because they are cheap but you know what? They perform like cheap. Thanks for sharing and I am going to build one.

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Right On Tony! These carts are really handy. Be sure to stop and have a bite of Taylor ham egg and cheese while you’re building one! Jersey style!

[@tomdale1313]

as always, good useful info..."The Shop Kat" has been finding that stool comfortable

[@RightOnJonCrane]

I think the cat is fitting into the foreman roll nicely 👍

[@ScottHiland]

I don't have enough heavy stuff to keep on dollies to need more than the cheapies yet, but I definitely should cut out some panels to make the cheapies more useful in the meantime. Thanks for the vid!

[@queeneywarren9474]

Exactly what I'm looking for the move furniture with

[@GeorgeWMays]

That was fun. Thanks. It is surely appreciated.

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Right on! 👍Thanks George!

[@cezrok5405]

Great video simple concise ...you have a well organised shop !

[@vballout8613]

Another great video. Thanks I will be giving this one a try today. As always my friend stay safe and much love. PEACE.

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Right on! 👍Thanks ! ☮️

[@lc1717]

Very nice. Can't wait to make one... Thanks.

[@combatmedic1980]

Jon, the one thing I see missing, is where I'm located in Central Pennsylvania , are most of the carts I have used or seen have carpet on the tops of them or even a ruff rubber matting of a old belting material so that what your moving doesn't slip off. Nice job on them !!

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Right on! 👍Thanks Matt! Yes you’re right. That does help.

[@veronicarowland1243]

You purchase those no slip grip script and cut them to fit I am going to put them on my middle removable board. God bless us all, good luck and Bsafe.

[@sarodiya]

Nice music too!!

[@minaharker2664]

These are awesome, thanks so much for sharing. Can you describe how you might build a vertical shelving unit atop one of these? For say, something like heavy vintage stereo equipment and vinyl albums?

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Hi Mina! Right On! 🙌 Thanks for watching! I have an extensive album collection myself! I think to build a shelf unit I would build it out of 3/4 finished plywood on with plywood shelving. You could make a 2” shelf nosing to help with deflection but the shelves won’t be very long which is good. I would make all of the shelves fixed and not adjustable. That would be a strong unit. Of course you could design it many ways depending on the aesthetic you have in your home or studio. Hope that helps!

[@sandyantor]

Sweet. Where do I find those heavy duty casters you like best, low profile type as its for a garage refrig stand so we can move it around easy??? Thank you in advance.

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Hi! I found these casters on ebay but I have also bought new casters from Service Caster Corp. they have a great selection. Hope that helps! Right On! 🙌

[@TheKnacklersWorkshop]

Hello Jon, Good work as usual... Take care Paul,,

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Thanks Paul! Seems I can’t have enough of these carts! 👍

[@sarodiya]

Great show! Right on Jon!!

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Thanks Steve! 👍 Right On!

[@herbbot8241]

Great work will try to make one

[@DanielField2023]

At the 10:00' the music it's running on when you are talking we can't ear you.

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Hi Daniel! Sorry about that. I had to edit out some music that turned out to be copyrighted. In a couple parts I was talking with music in the background and I had to cover that up! Bummer I know. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Jon

[@criscros829]

How thick is that plywood?

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Hi 👋 That plywood is 3/4 inch thick. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching! Right On! 🙌

[@willyfermin]

The Grex guns are great! Built a couple of furniture dollies similar to yours for the Thriftshop of the CCRC we live in. They loved them. Enjoy your work.

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Right on! 👍Thanks John! Yeah that grex gun is fantastic! Thanks for watching.
