She supplied the stainless top (rescued from a closing down butchers shop) and I sourced the rest. I managed to get 4" castors, 2 swiveling, 2 straight with brakes, for about £3 each.<br />They are out there at the right price but they do take some searching.<br />PhilAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493681473159888383.post-58589518364155557492011-12-05T16:53:03.923+00:002011-12-05T16:53:03.923+00:00The castors have brakes on them, which seem to wor...The castors have brakes on them, which seem to work ok, especially if I line the wheels up before I put on the brakes.<br />What I originally planned was two fixed wheels and two swivelling wheels with brakes (but they only had those options in the bigger more expensive castors). If I'd gone for the 100mm diameter rubber tyred wheels it would have been better but would have cost about 3 times the price. I don't often need to move it, so I'm pretty happy with the result.<br />(I got the castors from Toolstation)<br />DelDerekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654835987876553254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493681473159888383.post-6250716363375535632011-12-05T11:52:52.554+00:002011-12-05T11:52:52.554+00:00Hi Del,
