Title: This mornings flea market score
Post by: bunger on December 27, 2013, 10:55:04 AM

Got this nice little Kennedy roller for $25.
Bought it because I have a Kennedy machinist top box that would go nicely with it but when I got it home found that the roller is 20" wide, the top box is 21".

> roller is 20" wide, the top box is 21".

Kennedy did stupid things like that, I dunno why, I have a middle box with a top box in it that is 3 inches shorter, looks silly...

Still a really nice rolling box tho :)

Put the coffee maker on it ;P

I think two pieces of 3/4" plywood would solve your problem. One 20" , one 21 1/4" ?
Stack on each other
