well its a rainy day here so i used the day to built my own Skater Dolly

For those who don't know what it is, just check:

There are a lot of examples of DIY solutions (just google it) and so.... i decided to built my own. ( for about 25â‚¬)

I have the basic instructions here:

I'd like to know the kind of photography you can do with one of these?

Be nice to see some samples

Cheers
