Awl --

Man, decent ones seem to wanna break the bank, HF stuff is unusable.....
They have a blue 99c caster, very nice initially, until the soft wheels
distort into g-d triangles.....

Iny places that will sell small quan of decent stuff at decent prices?

I will eventually be buying larger Qs -- would a larger wholesale/oem
house
give me wholesale prices for "prototype Qs", toward the end of a larger
order? *Yeah, always beggin...

How about getting one of these:

and
then use it's wheels?

These are pretty good quality and are rated for 250lbs each.

Bigger than what I need -- I'm in the 1.5" ballpark, 75# per wheel.

But, it is a good idea, and indeed, for what you would pay at HD for effing
casters, you would come out ahead this way.
*I had this same idea some time ago, when I thought I might need these sized
wheels. *Sometimes Nat. Wholesale Liq has these dollies at this $15 price.

Then, with the leftover wood, you can make a small picket fence or sumpn.....


Incredible, how that works, eh? *Right in line with: *cheaper to buy new
than to fix..... *which in my mind is *a major zeitgeist-ical factor in this
whole environmental/overpopulation affair.

If we took the responsibility to fix **** as an *obligation*, instead of the
mad mad mad dash to frantically produce new ****, we'd likely find this to
be an "automatic limiter" in terms of wanton expansion, crazed
Ponzi/cancer-like economic "growth".

Our species has been oft-referred to as a cancer.

Producing new stuff makes companies more money than you or I fixing
the old stuff.

If we owned the companies, we would want everyone to buy new stuff.

And yes...our species is a cancer in the sense of how we affect our
host world.

A trait of a cancer is that it finally kills the host...and then the
cancer dies.
