| HOW TO MAKE A CHEAP ROLLING HANDLE Author & Designer: Clay Johnson |
Rolling Handle I started with a clamp...I think it is used to hold conduit and piping. I used 2 3/8" PVC pipe for the grips. I used the top part of the clamp for the Heavy Handle and the bottom for the rolling handle: I used the lower part of the clamp, a 2" PVC pipe for the larger 2 3/8" PVC pipe to roll on, two large washers so it would not rub against the handle, an old hollow dumbbell handle, pipe foam, and 250 pound rated eyebolt. I used some extra set time epoxy to firm the handle up. I cut a small notch on each side of the inner to give it more strength and to keep it from rotating: I painted the metal handle parts with Rust-Oleum's hammered paint: It seems to work well with a good bit of weight: |
