Steps:

3. Screw a 1 x 1 piece cut the width of the base to the underside of the extended base (this is where the wheels will go).

4. Cut a 1 x 1 into a four-inch length and screw it to the center bottom of the base between the angled ends. This will enable the trolley to stand when not in use .

5. Screw the wheels in place.

6. Turn base over and screw flag bracket into place (figure B).

7. Secure the basket to the base with a washer and screw.

8. Slip the cane into the flag bracket for the handle.
