Track for DIY dolly
I have completely fabricated a dolly using the skateboard wheel and PVC pipe method but i'm wondering if anyone knows a good idea for the track. I origionally thought to get a bunch of 2x4s and cutting tracks with notches to fit the PVC pipe but that isn't very portable and can take up alot of space in a truck or van. I was wondering if anyone has built something that folds or scisors together all in one piece.
Thanks Terry.
