a) Roller Stand
This 3D model represents what the roller stand will look like once it is built. This entire assembly is made from wood - except for the peg (circled). The biggest difference between this model and the real assembly is that the peg (circled) will be from a bicycle axe. For wheels, use a total of three wheels. Two bike wheels with a diameter of ~65 cm (one with the tire, and one without it to put the belt in), and a standard 10” dolly wheel. When you drill holes to add on the tires and metal rod, be sure to space the holes appropriately.

Note: The PVC pipe will probably be held in place by the friction of the triangular space made by the welded metal rods. It can be more strongly secured in place with rope. Last Step: Once all parts of the skeleton have been welded together, wrap the basket in a wire mesh. Cut a large hole in the wire mesh for workers to access vegetables.
