Over the past week I have been working on building a dolly and tracks. I did the standard skateboard wheel on a big board design. When I went to Pit Crew to purchase 16 of their finest wheels (I really mean cheapest) they inquired as to why I wanted so many. I explained how the wife and I are making a documentary and would like to build a dolly for it. They were extremely nice and ended up giving me a set of wheels and bearings for free in support of our movie.
The dolly hasn't been 100% finished yet but it is functional. I'm still learning how all these fancy tools my Dad gave me work so the construction is barely adequate, but adequate turns out to be perfectly fine! This entire operation ended up costing around $200.00 because I was too impatient to wait to buy wheels online.
Here's a video of some tests I did with this dolly:
