My dad and I threw something together real quickly over the last few weekends.
My washer/dryer (stackable) are in a closet, with very difficult access. I'm going to need to replace them soon, so I finally did something that I've wanted to do for a while - made a roller that fits in my closet.
Here are the materials (though I did end up going back for more hardware).
The handles are spare big-screen TV handles that I rescued from the garbage. The wheels are actually intended to be solo furniture rollers, but I didn't like that they were loose.
The boards are leftovers from an inlaw's floor remodeling.

I cut the boards to a bit under 2 feet.
Cutting to Length
Cutting to Length
Here they are, just held together by friction. One is longer, because we intended to cur that side even once it was all joined.
All the pieces
Gluing it up. The glue won't really hold (it's the tongue and groove flooring; bad glue surface), but it will at least hold it well enough to finish the piece. Bar clamps pull it together, and the other clamps and boards keep it flat. The discolored one at the bottom is just there to protect the edge, and is not glued.
Glued up
Once that glue was dry, I drilled pilot holes in the end board using a drill press, then drilled through that into the main body using a hand drill. I glued that one on with the screws in to keep glue out of the pilot holes.
