Rollable formwork for the storage of roller skates, by Joris

Description

A storage module on wheels for storing roller skates used during events and workshops. I designed and built this furniture myself. The skates are angled at a small 5-degree angle and are kept in place by a small bar.

The cabinets are connected by three hinges. Thanks to the hinges, the cabinet opens like a flightcase, allowing the skaters to grab their roller skates and swap them with their shoes. When the cabinet is closed, the skates can be easily transported.

Work description: How did you realize your project?

1. The wood was first sanded thoroughly with coarse sandpaper and then fine sandpaper.
2. After sanding and cleaning, all the planks were placed together and separate modules were created. First, all the planks, then the casing.
3. I marked all the screw holes with a pencil.

The casing is glued, but the planks are only screwed together so that they can be repaired if needed. I carved the hinges out of the long sides so that the cabinet could open fully.

Lastly, I screwed on the wheels and then lacquered everything so that the cabinet is solid.
