Okay. I’ve been putting it off for over a decade.
I like the skateboard dolly I built. I’d match it against any professionally-built skateboard dolly any day. But you must have track to use it. ABS track is okay for in-studio work, but it’s not very good on location. Matthews track runs about half-a-kilobuck for an eight-foot section, so it may be some time before I get any. The doorway dolly can be loaded up with gear and used to transport all of that heavy stuff to the location without track. With skateboard or grooved wheels I can still use ABS track, but I do need to get some proper steel track one of these days. Still, the pneumatic wheels will be very useful.
Pard Jerry doesn’t know. I think I’ll have it shipped to the studio. He owes me a couple of kilobucks for past projects, and I’m letting him owe it to me so that he can put it toward a Steadicam or Glidecam.
