Title: Laser cut pallet cart
Post by: just28mm on September 02, 2014, 10:18:35 PM: Hi,
few days ago I did my first laser cut project - a pallet cart. It was looking like that:

It was appropriate for modern and near future gaming in 28mm scale. However, today I changed a bit a project and made also a smaller one - it fits 20mm miniatures. Both of them should be available in day or two.

One niggle, aren't pallets typically square?

Although there are many kinds of them I think.

Separate pallets are also available,

Any place I've ever worked there have been stacks of pallets and crates all over.

Happy with them, for 20mm they fit the part.

They do look good. But remember there are varying sizes of pallet jacks. Got a few different sizes at work myself. Point is, what works for 20mm will work for 25 and 28mm i am sure.

Indeed. We've got the standard Europallets, our own Tupperware pallets (slightly different) and then we have a very small type that carries 2 barrels (2 component silicone) and a large type on which our big bags (containing 1000 kg of raw material) arrive.
