Kapex Shop Made mobile cart it's done!

[Woodworkingnut]

Well, I spent two days this past week thinking( I am retired so I don't think too often) and here's what I came up with. I like the UG, but my Kapex isn't used that much out of my shop to justify the cost. I am going to attempt to "copy video  URL" and load it to this page. But who knows if I will be successful. It can be found on youtube by searching "Kapex mobile cart" or "woodworkingknut". If it doesn't upload and someone would be kind enough to upload it for me(thanks again to the guys who have help me out in the past).
Well I don't think I can load it. Something to do with my lack of ability. Their is a Part two to the video. I made a few changes after trying the cart out.

From design to completion, the turnaround time was impressive. The magnetic locks and pinch-free handle/legs were well thought of.

Did you try moving the saw up the stairs to the destination? If so, based on your experience, would you change or add anything if you started over again?

Also what kind of wheel is used and where did you get the wheels?

Chuck I got the wheels at Lowes 12.99 each. I am going to test it today(stairs) trimming out a window in a few minutes. I also will test carting it up from my basement up a hill to the front door.

Update on the cart. Felt a small amount of flex in PVC handle, so I will make a Maple handle later today. The 8" wheels worked well going up stairs. The outer leg magnets weren't strong enough to secure the legs on my hill/lawn. So I will make two latches that will hold the legs in place and just flip up for the legs to be released. Time to trim the windows. I made a Part Two video to show all the changes I made.

Good to know that the basic design worked well.

Great design. I really like the magnet idea.

Well, Here are the fixes for the cart. I made the handle wider, sliding clamps for the outer legs, and a hand cutout in the wheel box for easier setup. their is a Part Two video showing all the changes I made.
