    Looks like a very handy trolly.
    You could well be right Tex - we usually just switch it on wherever it gets parked - levelling feet are still in the box

    You mean rather than buying a new Woodfast mini and trolley set-up to make a mobile lathe, I could have just made one of these for my 1442. On the other hand, then I would have to clean the shed out enough to have a clear pathway

    Great idea TTIT, looks like it works a treat
