we chose a quiet beach location -
and an early time --while all of the groupies are still in their high schools
and MIDDLE schools

That's using your noodle Ira, very handy piece of craftsmenship.
I want pictures of all the groupies gathered around your little party wagon.

There won't be an groupies with that tiny boomer with you . Looks like a good cart. I'm thinking of making one for my Dyansty Wheely..... Now that I think about it, it's funny that you can't really wheel the Wheely's unless they are on smooth floors like a indoor basketball court or vinyl floor .

 

[mellymelsr]

I gotta get one of those!!

 

[Fatdog]

Ira, make me one of those. Seriously. We'll work out payment and pickup later. Okay?

 

[ViennaSound]

The boom - mover!
Looks great! :hoveround:

 

[redbenjoe]

ok - thanks for the admiration

joe --can you switch out your wheely wheels ??
if you used some soft polyurethanes (from grainger or etc)
they will protect your box from the shocks of bumpy surfaces

I have a lawn chair that looks like that.

 

[redbenjoe]

norm --
1. go to your local harbor freight
2. get a set of the cool red wheels
3. stick them on your lawn chair

4. take your grails out for a spin

EggZactly! That's what I'm saying. A nice redwood adirondack with the armrests move to become footrests, some HF wheels and voila! ala RBJ conion hauler.

 

[hemiguy2006]

That is flippin sweet!!!!!!
Could have used one of those on memorial day!!!

Cool wheels for the laid back crowd!

No, you can't change the "wheels". They are just (4) 1/2" ballbearings that the box rides on. The only way to change it up would be to remove the entire bracket with the ballbearings and replace it with a bracket that has real wheels attached to it. This might be the next reversable mod I do to the wheely so it is more mobile.

This thing even with a shoulder strap would be uncomfortable to carry around. It's so big you don't want it hanging from your hand for very long either. I tend to walk leaning to the opposite side that I am holding the wheely from just to balance myself out.

That is so cool. I spent MANY years at the beach with my radios and this would have come in handy. The real problem of going to the beach was always getting everything from the car to the waters edge with out looking like a dork and with out getting your stuff ripped off (grew up in Los Angeles) as you make multiple trips.

The beach tires are the key to success here!

Great product!

My design is a little different
