How to Make a Plant Dolly

Instructions

• 1

  Curve the slates
  
  First of all you need to carve out the curves on four of the slates. Mark a curve on the outer edges on this slate and then use a jigsaw to cut it out. In case you want to have square-edged plant dolly then you can move directly into the next step.
• 2

  Form a crosshatch
  
  Make a crosshatch by aligning the wood pieces. If a piece of wood is in a better shape, you might want to place it on the top.
• 3

  Apply wood glue
  
  Next you need to add wood glue between the wood slats. Then place a heavy object such as a cement block on the wooden slates and leave it to dry. By this you can easily insert the screws into the slats.

  Insert screws
  
  Drill holes into the wooden slates. Choose a drill bit which is slightly smaller than the size of the screws. Then insert the screws from the underside.
• 5

  Drill pilot holes in the corner
  
  Next you need to drill the pilot holes in the four corners of the crosshatch. Remember to check the size of the posts of the caster wheels before drilling the pilot holes. This is to make sure that these wheels fit tightly in the wooden slates.
• 6

  Insert caster wheels
  
  After drilling four pilot holes, you need to insert the caster wheels in the crosshatch.

  Place the planter
  
  In the end you need to flip the plant dolly and place the planter on the top of it.
