I bought my drum cart on an auction for $10.  You might keep an eye out in the paper or place a want ad.  You'd be surprised what's laying around.  Good luck.

I apologize in advance here... Are we attempting to create an easy way to work on cabinets/doors or finding a way to move parts around...?

Creighton, I don't mean to be forward, but what is this device going to aid you in accomplishing...?

For anyone that has worked on things, not just soda machines, you'll find that a few pairs of padded saw horses will work great to prep cabinets and doors for primer/paint. I was inclined to make mine from 3/4" electric conduit and utilize the same type of insulation I use on my hand-truck/dolly. These where the best things I made! For one, they are very light yet strong and fold up to hang on the wall out of the way of other operations needed in the garage!

Again, I'm sorry if I've gone off in the wrong direction...

Jim,
No need to apologize. I'm just trying for a stable, correct working height stand that is mobile. I would be very happy using sawhorses/milkcrates etc.. Just isn't a viable solution at this location.
Looking at several materials to assist in weight and ease of storage issues.  
Thanks for the input!

Ok well it sound like there is a theft problem. Just wondering
can the machine stay it the garage till the job is done,
and maybe park one of the veh. out side. (with out the plate left on it so the bad people wont get it)
 I have to agree with Jim , saw horse's work pretty good
 a little carpet padding and carpet  it works pretty good .
 Just a thought Creighton.

I use a folding stand that I bought at my automotive paint supplier. I will post a picture later, it works great.

You either have too much time on your hands, or are taking an art class.  
What model of machine is it?  A Vendo?  


You need to build one of these to go with your machine: http://www.wayoftherodent.com/gd101/bs_paperarcade.htm .

Thanks to those that have posted relevant input on this project!! It's funny we have "Model T" detached garages in this neighborhood. In my case the porch has been extended and the neighbors fence cuts into any chance of even getting a car to the garage. It's now the shop and full manufacturing equipment as well. No room for a machine.

Dr. Galaga. No I don't have a great deal of extra time. I have taken several art, architecture and engineering classes in collage and over the course of my professional career. I've found that mock-ups and input from others makes for a better design that can be usefull for all interested. Why repost a picture that is already in the thread?  The link you posted is very weird. What was the point?

Regret this thread was ever started.

It was some small arcade video games that you could print out, cut out and put by your Coke machine.  I have a Pac-Man one sitting on my desk.  The reposting of the picture was so that you would know what the mini arcade games were in reference to.  
(BTW: thought your pic was kind of cool)

Creighton,  I . Just was wondering why it could not go in the garage that all . I never said this was a bad ideal , I just said
 I agree with Jim on the saw horse's that's it. I'm sorry that you feel offended that was not my intent.
