Thread: It's New, It's.... CART-O-MATIC™!!!

Tweet

Tired of lugging around my stone walls, damaging their tender bottom sides on the concrete, I envisioned a cart to use. Not just any ol' cart, no way!

I wanted to be able to move some of the larger pieces around as well, without them tipping off the narrow floor of just an ordinary wall-cart.

Thus was born the expandable Cart-O-Matic™. Just unclip the fore and aft fasteners, expand it out to its maximum floorspace, clip in the mid fasteners, then add the optional cross beam and floor. (Floor not shown here).

It rolls about as well as you would expect with 3 year old casters left out in the weather, but that's a feature, not a bug...

Cart-O-Matic™ fully loaded with a stone wall.


A gathering of faux-masonry, all moved with Cart-O-Matic™!



Note: Cart-O-Matic™ cannot move real stone wall. Attempting to load Cart-O-Matic™ with real stone walls could crush Cart-O-Matic™ and void your official Cart-O-Matic™ warranty.

That is awesome !!!! So it's available at QVC or Home Depot.........

& does it come in black or stone color texture...?

Does look to be a handy lil critter in deed for thngs like that, maybe even moving multiple cases of beer......

I dig your stone walls. Are they individual boxes all stacked/glued together? It looks like there's some paper mache going on there as well.

I've detailed the process in my thread: Cemetery Entrance Columns, but basically I create a wooden frame, wrap that in big sheets of cardboard, then take boxes and hot glue them onto the cardboard. I put a layer or two of paper mache over the boxes (merging some of the corner ones together to make them look like a big stone), then mortar the "stones" together with a mixture of paper mache paste and cellulose. When the mortar dries, sometimes it shrinks back away from one side or another of the stone, looking like decaying masonry.

Bigger version of the columns I did last year. New this year are the smaller columns and the stone walls that will finish out the fence for the cemetery.
