How To Make Warehouse Cart Wheels (No Special Tools or Materials Needed)
by
Taunnie
We have received many requests for tips and tutorials from people wanting to build their own reproduction antique warehouse cart coffee table, so we decided to build a new one to show step-by-step instructions. Today I am sharing the first tutorial, building the wheels. We decided to build the wheels because a lot of people were having trouble finding antique wheels, or if they found the wheels they were too expensive. My husband came up with an easy way to build your own wheels. Don't worry there is no welding involved, just simple tools and material that most people already have or can easily (and cheaply) buy at any hardware store. It was such a simple build that we decided that I would do all the work. Please visit the link below.

If you use the wayback machine, you can see an archived version of her webpage. Here is the link: https://web.archive.org/web/20150302145212/http://mingledelements.com/2012/05/antique-warehouse-cart-coffee-table-wheel-tutorial/ She also had a link to her husband's page on there, but his page doesn't really give much detail.
