Instructions
Step 1
Step 3
Cut wheels out about 4" diameter (can be larger but shouldn't be much smaller) with a jigsaw from leftover 1/2" plywood.
Drill holes in the center of the wheels slightly larger than your bolt shaft.
Drill holes in the 1x6 cart sides, about 1/2" up on the 1x6, and install wheels on the cart.
Jaime provides more details on what bolts she used and photos of this step here.
Add optional rope with handle to front by drilling out a hole in the front, and placing a knot on the back of the rope so it can't pull through the hole.
