A friend has asked me to make a carrier for her kayak. Not the
on-top-of-the-car type but the walk your kayak to the water type. Most
of the ones I see online or at the camp sites involve metal tubing of
some sort and some welding. I would like to make one using mainly wood
plus wheels and no welding. Any ideas? Thanks, JG

ISTR seeing one online made with PVC pipe.
I suggest checking the rec.boats.paddle.* newsgroups and
searching the WWW with Google or Altavista.

Hi FF,
I did Google WWW first. Nothing of help on the first several pages. Will
google specificially on that news group you mentioned. And a fellow on
another forum sent me a url for a PVC one he made. Thanks, JG

Not too attractive, but this is what I did. (Hope the attachment
works). PT 2x4, with rubber pads, lag bolts for the wheels, eye bolts
and a bungee cord to hold it on.
