I had completed the toy box I was think...Hi Vinay,<br /><br />I had completed the toy box I was thinking of doing, though it took some time as an uncle who was an engineer and was a personal inspiration to me passed away, that put a dampener on things. But I guess I finally got over it and built the toy box using recycled packing cases and also a couple pieces of plywood lying around and a piece of MDF from a disused computer table.<br /><br />With regards to castors what I did was only put castors on one side and the other side I had put plastic bushes of the same height. So if i want to move it i just have to life the handle slightly and bring the castors into play.<br /><br />Sorry am not able to post pics here or i would.<br /><br />Regards<br />Karl<br /><br />PS: Thanks for your help with regards to the paints.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02928397422956908126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-192143404545616630.post-35555293843866118932013-05-29T01:33:40.260+05:302013-05-29T01:33:40.260+05:30Hi Karl.

However I like it for its white color (it is usually some sort of birch ply or so, if the crate is foreign). If it can be salvaged It is very useful. If you are able to preserve the cross beams by making strategic cuts, you can make boxes or small cupboards from the crates.Vinay Timothy Oommenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00196497247005811738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-192143404545616630.post-18981373276800098252013-05-27T08:47:06.457+05:302013-05-27T08:47:06.457+05:30Nice one Vinay. I agree with you on your comments ...Nice one Vinay. I agree with you on your comments about ply. I had initially planned on making one out of MDF too, but it tends to get dented pretty easily. So now have junked that and am building one with ply of packing cases. This is second hand ply that is light and narrow. The idea is to a fence sort of arrangement. Will post pics when done. <br /><br />I was going to put castors on the box, in fact i have already bought the castors, but in retrospect having a moving box can cause a lot of bruised shins. So that idea is nixed i guess. <br /><br />Once again thanks for the info.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02928397422956908126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-192143404545616630.post-71697077348874368192013-04-23T11:42:56.672+05:302013-04-23T11:42:56.672+05:30Hi,
