This project is really just a box on rollers. What makes it unique is that it glides on appliance rollers instead of casters.
They’re low profile and super strong, and they roll smoothly over carpet and hard flooring. Appliance rollers cost about $20 per pair at home centers and online. The project cost depends on the wood you choose. Before building, measure the height beneath your bed frame and alter our dimensions to suit.
1 BUILD THE BOX
Drill countersink holes and fasten the sides (B) to the ends (C) with wood glue and 2-in. screws. Attach the base (A) using the same method.
2 LOCATE AND FASTEN THE CLEATS

9 ALTERNATIVE USES FOR SAWDUST
Every fully stocked wood shop has a table saw. You can usually find a pile of sawdust under it, even if it's used only occasionally. If a shop has a belt sander or band saw, there's probably another pile of finer sawdust under that. Even people without stationary tools have sawdust accumulation on their workbenches.
