Heavy DIY Evil Wheel - AB Wheel

Have had enquiries about the Evil Wheel I have used in some of my videos. 
I wanted to make something that was fairly heavy, so I decided to try and incorporate as many metal components as I could. No light weight plastic. This HEAVY EVIL WHEEL is totally home made from basic items available your local hardware store.

Materials
1 x 600mm x 18mm threaded rod
30 x 18mm nuts
4 x 18mm washers
2 x 200mm trolley wheels (metal rims with solid rubber tyres)
4 x electrical cable ties
1 x roll of self adhesive felt tape, usually used on furniture legs to stop them scratching the floor

Tools
2 x spanners/wrenches
1 x pair scissors
1 x clippers

Assembly notes
STEP 1
8 x 18mm nuts, make up the first handle, screw them on one end of rod, tightening each nut against the previous one with the 2 wrenches.
STEP 2
1 washer, wheel and another washer.
STEP 3
2 18mm nuts, these have to be tightened and locked against each other to hold the wheel in place, bear in mind that you have to allow the wheel to turn freely, avoid any wobble which indicates that the wheel is too loose.
STEP 4
12 18mm nuts complete the central section of the handle, so there are 14 in total.
1 washer, wheel and another washer.
STEP 5
2 18mm nuts, these have to be tightened and locked against each other to hold the wheel in place, bear in mind that you have to allow the wheel to turn freely, avoid any wobble which indicates that the wheel is too loose.
STEP 6
6 18mm nuts complete the rest of the handle, so there are 8 in total.
Make the handles using the self adhesive felt tape, first cut the tape at 45 degrees, strip back the backing paper and glue into position, then start wrapping the handle and gluing as you go until you reach the end. Using the cable ties secure each end, and then trim the excess felt with scissors.
FINAL RESULT
A HEAVY EVIL WHEEL weighing in at exactly 7 kilos, please note that I have wooden floor boards which works very well, I think using a heavy evil wheel on carpet would pose problems, because of the traction generated. So smooth floors are definitely favourite.
