Built-In Camping Grill with Cooler Cart

What happens here

To make the cart mobile, attach two 7-inch lawnmower wheels to the bottom of the cooler compartment. Drill holes for the axles and secure each wheel using a 4.5-inch partially threaded 1/2-inch bolt, ensuring washers are placed on both sides of the wood, and a locking nut is used to prevent loosening. For stability when stationary and easier maneuvering, glue and screw two small cedar blocks to the front underside of the cooler compartment, acting as kickstands.

Goal: Make the cart mobile and provide stability when not being rolled.

four screws each the wheels need to have a little bit of tread on them that way you can kind of go across rocks and all that stuff of needed B so I picked up these Universal seven inch tall blonde mower wheels from the lawn mower section and for the hardware I used four and a half inch long half inch thick partially threaded bolts once it went through I then put a washer on both sides of the wood and secured in place with a locking nut this allowed for it to minimize any kind of friction and roll out just the way it needed to be now instead of using all four wheels I for the front used these little stops or kick stands if you will that way it allowed for me to turn this thing easier and have it propped up in balance perfectly you have a functioning grill cover that
