General Instructions

Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!

Instructions

Step 1

Transfer side pattern on to your 1/2" plywood.  Cut out with jigsaw.  Copy and create a second side.  Sand the two together so edges match.  Drill holes through both sides for the wheels at this step (sized for your hardware).

Step 2

Build the pram bottom and ends with 3/4" pocket holes on underside.  

Step 3

Attach sides to the bottom and ends with glue and finish nails.  

Step 4

Install wheels to sides through predrilled holes.  For more details on Jaime's wheels and how she installed them, please go here.

Step 5

Finishing Instructions
Preparation Instructions
Fill all holes with wood filler and let dry. Apply additional coats of wood filler as needed. When wood filler is completely dry, sand the project in the direction of the wood grain with 120 grit sandpaper. Vacuum sanded project to remove sanding residue. Remove all sanding residue on work surfaces as well. Wipe project clean with damp cloth.

It is always recommended to apply a test coat on a hidden area or scrap piece to ensure color evenness and adhesion. Use primer or wood conditioner as needed.
