Dual Wheels, lately I have been turning some very soft wood, Huron Pine and now cedar and found the dual wheel set up does the job much better on these very soft blanks. I find the additional support an improvement with more contact points around the soft body of the vessel. In this case, I can bridge the major dia reasonably well, which is ideal.
Its of my own simple design, flat bar, angle and a bunch of skate wheels, bed mounted with a couple Allen cap screws and readily slides to where ever its needed. I have had to add a cross locking bar as the long uprights were prone to movement at times.
I prefer skate wheels as they have better dual bearings than roller skates, oh and very cost-effective
