DIY Mini Track & Jib (2-in-1)

[Jordan_S]

The only track I have found like this was at a Lowe's and it cost $60 for the track and $20 for 2 extra sets of wheels. Has anyone found any cheaper solutions to this?

In the original post he did say the approximate cost is $75.

I was unable to locate these parts in Lowe's during a recent visit to the States. I think I may try drawer parts, which are readily available here.

Or perhaps some time spent searching eBay will prove to have been well-spent. http://cgi.ebay.com/Bypass-Sliding-...emQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item2c5166694c

I went to the store today to see the other brands thats exactly the same as HAFELE, I saw a brand called SENTRY, according to the packaging its a US company caled SENTRY LOCKS CO. the product code is SDR-04.

Hope that helps.
