(Quantity, Description, Item #, Amount per each, Total)

2 Wheels 037049927760 17.94 35.88
3 1 " x 10' PVC Pipe 759388100641 03.49 10.47
1 5/8" x 3' threaded rod 030699173709 04.50 04.50

2 1 " PVC TEE 039923145864 01.13 02.26
4 5/8" nuts
4 5/8" washers 1" outer diameter
1 Tube of Locktite Thread lock
1 PVC Cement
The nuts, washers, locktite and PVC cement I do not have item numbers for
although I did purchase everything at the Home Depot.
Cut PVC pipe as follows:
1 21 " for axle
1 21 " for handle
2 94" for rails
2 8" for risers out of axle

Fabricate axle as follows.
1) Screw one of the 5/8" nuts 5 inches onto the end of the threaded rod and
secure with a drop of locktite.
2) On the short side of the rod where you just placed the nut put one of the
washers, then one of the wheels, then another washer and another nut secured
with locktite.
3) Fabricate the PVC part of axle by attaching a PVC TEE piece to each end
of a
21 " piece of pipe. Make sure that the TEE pieces are facing in the same
direction.
4) Cement an 8" piece of the PVC pipe out of the top of each TEE piece on
the axle.
5) Cement an ELL piece of the PVC onto the top of each 8" piece. Make sure
these ELL pieces face in the same direction.
6) Screw the other 5/8" nut 5 inches onto the other end of the threaded rod
and secure with a drop of locktite.
7) Slide the PVC axle assembly onto the threaded rod.
8) Now slide a washer, the other wheel, another washer and the last 5/8" nut
and secure with a drop of locktite.
9) Fabricate the handle of the dolly by cementing an ELL piece to each end
of the other 21 " piece of PVC pipe. Make sure the ELL pieces face the same
way.
10) Connect the handle to the axle assembly with the 94" pieces of PVC pipe.

Hey Gang,

Somewhere I saw a plan to build a sunfish dolly out of wheelbarrow
tires and PVC pipe, I'll be darned if I can locate it again. Anybody
seen this anywhere?

Thanks
Jeff
