But you’re the only one confused

I understand that you made a thread to ask dudes how to do things femoids don't know how to do.

Thank you so much for the detailed post plankton. I’ll go over it again when I have bought or borrowed some bits and bobs.

I am well aware of this, thank you very much. I just liked the look and they're fairly sturdy. They're also removable so i can replace them if needed.

So it's like a French Polish but with many coats of polyurethane, interesting.

Thanks for the informative replies.

Thanks Lis.

Of course I had to have a plan first and make sure the dowel and bracing would cradle the discs. This was the early concept before tweaking it a touch with a different color/graphic, and it holds 50 discs per side with about 17.5 lbs of distributed weight across the dowel rod and 37 at the middle bracing, so it's pretty sturdy for it's intended use:



I was really surprised to find those rubber end caps that fit perfectly snug over the sandwiched 1x2's that matched the casters. I had to buy a pack of 20 though, so if you know anyone looking for some 1-7/8" rubber end caps lemme know.

Spoiler for the inspiration for the middle brace:

I can't believe you just wrote that, because I was looking at the photo just now and was thinking I like how the *caps* (although I was wondering what those things were!) mirror the look of the casters.

Beautiful work all around, P - even the schematic is beautiful and suitable for framing.
