Base Assembly

Base assembly.

  • To build the base begin with the bottom board. Place the edges of the 1-1/4-inch flanges 3⁄4 of an inch from the two sides at each corner. With a pencil, mark where the holes are.
  • Remove the flanges and pre-drill where you have marked. Then place the flanges back and secure each one with screws.
  • Flip the base over. Place the casters 1-1/4-inch from each edge at the corners. Mark where they will be secured.
  • Predrill where you have marked. Place the casters back and secure the casters with flanges.

Leg Assembly

Leg assembly.

  • Place a length of 36-inch pipe into each flange on the base of the cart. Lightly secure using the Allen wrench.
  • At the top of each 36-inch pipe length, slide a hook onto the pipe and lightly secure with the Allen wrench. You can adjust the height after the cart is finished.
  • Place a 1-1/4-inch flange at the top of each 36-inch long pipe, but do not secure. You will need them loose to secure the top of the board.

Top Assembly

Top assembly.

  • Place the top board on the flanges, try to keep the edges of the flanges 3/4-inch from each side at the corners. Mark where the flanges will go.
  • Predrill where you have marked. Take the flanges off of the 36-inch pipe and secure them to where you predrilled with the screws.
  • Place the top board onto the 36-inch pipe lengths and secure with the Allen wrench.

Handle Assembly

Armature assembly.

 

  • Place an elbow at each end of the 15-inch length of pipe. Make sure the openings of the elbows are pointed downward. Secure each elbow lightly with the Allen wrench.
  • In the open elbow ends, place a 3-inch length of pipe and secure firmly with the Allen wrench.
  • Place the flanges at the base of each 3-inch length of pipe and secure them firmly with the Allen wrench.
  • Place the assembled cart handle onto the top board, adjusting the elbows so that the flanges are flush with the cart top. Mark where you will drill.
  • Predrill where you have marked.
  • Place the handle back and secure it to the top board with screws.
