    Brilliant!

    But my shed floor is rough floated, I'd have to get it ground/polished.

    I'm going to have a go at making one. Yesterday I rigged up a few bits and pieces and had a proof-of-concept. If I can make one that works I'll post some plans.

    Cheers

    Thanks for the info woodcutta. I'm working on the air bearing idea, probably 5 of them. I made one on the weekend that easily bore my weight, so with a bit of tinkering it might work.
