How far are you from DC or Baltimore? I may take you up on that.
I live a little North of Bmore and work down in Silver Spring
Wow, well done. I can tell you did your research on DIY baskets. You def incorporated some great ideas. i really like the hose to complete the basket look.
Thanks very much!:thmbup:
Nice work! :clap: I'm big fan of DIY baskets. Especially those that are made of recycled or re-purposed materials. If your looking for other options for bases, might I suggest using an office chair base for your stand. That's what I used on mine and I love it. I can roll it around the garage if need be or when I need to remove the wheels, I can have them off in less then a minute without tools.
Thanks, me too! The office chair base is a good idea. I think I have an old office chair around here somewhere that I may be able to use......
You will want to wrap the L brackets with tape as well. I didn't want to wrap mine on my home made basket, but I've got a bunch on nicked up discs that made me do it. Pic below is before adding tape.
And to all the haters "for what it costs why don't you just go buy one?" ITS ABOUT THE FUN OF MAKING IT! Try it. You'll have fun doing it, and its a good project to involve a son, nephew, or annoying friend. No matter how you slice it you're gonna spend around 75-125 bucks.
Yeah, even though its not an issue for me yet, preventitive taping to save discs may be in order...
And you're right, the project was really fun. So nice to see your vision come to light. Especially when things go pretty well
PS-those baskets look great guys!
