my skate/slider/ladder dolly Frankenstien

Total cost on this project was 12 dollars

I used a gorilla rack shelf for its angle iron, found on Craigslist for free.
a pair of roller skates $5 at weekend swap meet
8 5/16 bolts and lock nuts $5
and two rods I found at Ikea in the as is section $2.

I took my design from a hauge ladder dolly and just modded it to work with my stuff. My first design was the larger model and is to be used on a ladder track. I made the unit adjustable to different sizes by adding a channel on one side to adjust the wheel in or out. the second design came after I found the rods at Ikea and decided to make a more portable solution.

They both work pretty nice.

I am am looking for a 2nd pair of skates to finish the larger model and also make a platform for a tripod.

With the mini model I am just figuring out a way to mount the rails to a tripod system to get It off the ground. I like having the rails loose so I can place them anywhere but they don't always stay put.

I am working on some test footage and should be up soon.
