Track for DIY dolly
 
I have completely fabricated a dolly using the skateboard wheel and PVC pipe method but i'm wondering if anyone knows a good idea for the track. I origionally thought to get a bunch of 2x4s and cutting tracks with notches to fit the PVC pipe but that isn't very portable and can take up alot of space in a truck or van. I was wondering if anyone has built something that folds or scisors together all in one piece.

Thanks
Terry.

Apparently the guys in the rubber track dolly thread have.

Here is what I have thus far but I am wanting to raise it up off the ground.

This looks like a really great set up and reasonable on cost.

I am going to put some together soon

Sweet idea!
