Spin that vintage crate from stationary to in-service with the easy addition of everyday casters.

Materials

• 1" x 4" x 8' wooden board
• Vintage wooden crate
• Handsaw
• Wood glue
• Pencil
• 4 casters
• Drill
• 16 bolts
• 32 washers
• 16 nuts

Directions

1 Cut the wooden board 2" shorter than the length of the crate; repeat to make two boards of equal size.

2 Turn the crate upside down. Glue the boards lengthwise to either side of the crate’s bottom.

3 Mark the holes of the casters on the ends of each board.

4 Drill holes at each mark big enough to fit the bolts.

5 Turn the crate on its side. Line up one caster’s holes with those drilled into the crate. Secure it in place by feeding a washer and bolt through the inside of the crate. Tighten from the outside with another washer and nut. Repeat for remaining holes and casters.
