    Default My adjustable rollerstand

    Some time ago I found a plan for a rollerstand made with a kitchen rolling pin.
    I modified the design and used a steel roller I had bought earlier.
    It is adjustable and I have marked it for the heights of the different machines so set-up only takes a few moments.
    I used scrap timber from the wood bin and spraypainted it chrome.
    It works well and apart from the roller, didn't cost me anything.

    Default Good choice....

    So glad you didn't use the rolling pin....you might not have got anymore homemade apple pie!

    Great job....Kekemo

    Looks good, Wolffie. Another source for rollers is retired photocopiers and computer printers.

    Thumbs up Rollerstand

    Good one Wolfie.
    I bought one at Bunnies on sale because a) it was cheaper than making one and b) because I was too bloody lazy to make it.

    Nicley done Wolffie. I have a pair of $17 elchepo ones from the big green shed. The rollers are ok but the steel stands are a bit woobely so I have been pondering making wooden bases for them.
    My to do list has outgrown my ability ever to work through it all.

    Regards
    John
