Where to find plans on how to build my own dolly?

[razerfish]

I had a site bookmarked, but I can't find it in my favorites.

Can someone point me to a decent DIY site where they have plans on how to build your own dolly and steadicam?

I posted this a few days ago, but since the new site upgrade, it's disapeared.

Thanks for any help.

I bought this book. Maybe you mean the same:

Have you made anything out of that book? Is it worth buying?

I have that book, too. I just built the dolly. The plans are great and couldn't be easier to follow. Lots of pictures. I highly recommend that book.

I'll second that. It's a great book, and along with Dan Rahmel's Nuts and Bolts Filmmaking you can build alot of your own gear. My only gripe about the dolly in Dan Selakovich's book is that I prefer using a right angle bracket with the wheels perpendicular to each other. I think it makes the dolly more stable on the track. I built it the way he did in the book, and I get occasional problems with the dolly slipping off. It's usually not a problem, and I may have just screwed it up myself.

Still, both of those books are great to have.

Thanks. Have them both bookmarked. Will probably buy the book and make one from their plans.
