Skater dolly.......it's cooler than your thinking!

I have been working on a video project recently, and I am really enjoying it! I am camera man-editor, director, etc! Or, as normal people say, "a one man show" HA HA!
Anyways..........

I have been wanting a small table dolly for some motion shots. There are a ton of them available, but by the time I drive to a pro video place, and back, it's a few hours.
So being that I own a cnc, and have lots of material handy, I decided to draw one up, and cut it out.
I also added angle degree markers for both axles, just so the front and rear wheels could be placed at the correct angles to each other.

I have a box full of in-line skate wheels, which were the last part of the puzzle! All in all, it works great for what I needed. It was about 15 minutes to draw, and 30 minutes to cut and clean up and assemble! Plus I got my first shot with it already!!
