A Message From Russ N. Hound

Howdy,
The enclosed Bitmaps are for a simple gun cart. The idea is based on a
plan from Popular Mechanics that made a workbench. The unit is assembled by
slotting the pieces together like a puzzle. Once assembled it forms a strong
one piece unit. Care must be taken to keep the slots tight and cut and
layout should be checked carefully.

Requires one half sheet of ½ inch plywood split in long (8ft) direction. One
sheet will make two carts. Design utilizes ten inch wheels that are common
at most local lumber yards. Larger tires or other changes can be made
easily. Cost should be around $20 up or down depending on quality of lumber
used. ¾ inch can be substituted by widening slot towards inside of cart.
Lots of flat space for painting scenes or adding names etc.
When broke down whole unit lays flat in car or truck. Completely portable
carried my five-foot workbench back and forth to college many times with no
difficulty.

Have fun with it and let me know how it works out for you. Bitmaps are a
pain sometimes but this all I have been able to figure out so far for
delivery. Attachment is a self extracting zip file. Make a directory and
move or copy file to this folder before opening. Double click on name to

See you on the Trail Russ N. Hound aka Doug Curtis
