Lab stand cart for distillation setup

I want to build some sort of cart, or something with wheels to put all my distillation things on so I can easily roll it out of the way. It should permanently hold my big lab stand to hold the biomass vial, and under that I would like it to house a 10L jerrycan and a smaller lab stand to hold the heated mantle and boiling flask. Also, somewhere to put the controller/power for the cooling loop pump. Something like this, with caster wheels under the corners:

I want to make it out of leftover pieces of wood. I would need:

  • 4x 44x44x400mm horizontal
  • 4x 44x44x338mm vertical
  • 2x 69x44x362mm horizontal, at the bottom
  • 2x ~12x150x412mm sides
  • 1x 12x312x450 bottom
  • 1x 12×150+x450 backplate

I can get all of that out of scraps, yay! Let’s get building!

Edit: done! I don’t remember the last time I went from conceptualisation to finishing a project in one afternoon. It’s nice to finish something for a change.

Next up: figuring out all the connections on my random collection of glassware that I want to build a distillation setup from.
