Rolling Cart for Pizza Oven - FLWoodworker84 - 12-07-2022
Because I got tired of carrying my pizza oven in and out when I wanted to use it, I decided to make a rolling cart for it.

It is made from simple 2x4 and 2x6 stock from the local big box.

It was also my first foray into floating tenons. I made my own jig and made heavy use of the masking tape and superglue trick.

The LOML gifted me a cover and hanging plate and inspired this project.

It may be my imagination, but the pizza has been tasting better since I put this cart to use.

Looks great! Now I'm craving pizza!

I like it as well, nicely done. I need to do something like that for my smoker. What impresses me is how the paint covered the construction grade lumber, what did you prime it with?

Thanks, Gary

Nicely done. Another thing to put on my to-make list.

I used Behr semi-gloss exterior - two coats.

The masking tape and superglue trick is something I found when researching guitar construction - truly a game changer for me and so simple I can't believe it took this long to find it. For me, it really simplifies building router templates because you can create them without having to worry about how you are going to clamp them to your work-piece. Think of it as double-stick tape. You put masking tape on the two surfaces that you would like to temporarily adhere and then add a few dots of CA glue to the tape. It holds very firmly but is fairly easy to disassemble.
Here is an example video...
I have used for lots of stuff. Here is what I recall.
1) Flattening twisted boards in planer (temp glued shims between the twisted board and the carrier board)
2) Sanding shop-made veneers with my drum sander (temp glued veneer to carrier board)
In my 5th photo in the original post, the template for routing the mortises is two pieces - the actual template and "spacer" piece underneath that aligned to the leg. These two pieces were taped/superglued together - kinda my my lazy way of making it adjustable.
