Re: Friends Hot Dog Cart
Oh, you mean figuratively. ;) It looks like it'd be a 2x 1x6 plate inside and 2x 1x4 outside (to follow the curve of the coil), without having to modify two 2x6 plates to accommodate the wheels. ...…

Re: Friends Hot Dog Cart
Duh - darn metric conversions (that I didn't mentally do). 44 MM = 4.4 CM = ~1 3/4 inches. While the cart is strictly speaking wide enough (6 dots is roughly, exactly, 1 3/4 inches),…
