DIY Dolly footage!

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

I just finished my dolly! Here is some footage of it in action... just a quick point and shoot, no camera adjustments.

Very smooth though... pushed it forward, and then back.

I'll post some pictures of it later.

That looks very stable, nice work! How much did you spend on this baby?

Those are quite a lot of wheels. I have no experience building a dolly, so just out of curiousity: where all those wheels really necessary?

Nice dude! Give us details! How do I build one, how much did it cost, etc.?

The extra wheels allow this thing to ride EXTREMELY smooth. I can literally push this thing and it will go on its own.

We took the DIY method from a book, and the Internet.

Cost about $300.00 Canadian.

The wheels and metal cost the most. It rides on 1.5" PVC Piping.

Like I said, some from a book (I don't have a scanner) and bits and pieces from the web.

Look below... very similar wheel design.

This should give you all the info you need.

Cheers,
