I need a new futon roller, but no place carries the one I need. It is similair to this....

http://futonplanet.com/product...on_Glides-615-103.html


but one side is shorter than the other on mine.

I COULD buy this and try to cut one side to the right length, but I have no idea if I could make a good cut.

Can you guys think of clever ideas that just requires me going to homde depot instead of waiting on a part that may not even work?

buy a dowel of the right diameter and cut it to size, then glue it in place?

1) if you couldn't find dowels in HD, you shouldn't have been there.

2) it was either not an employee or the guy punked you.

rofl, home depot does HAVE dowels. the guy must have played with your mind.

you should go back to home depot and find the same guy then punch him in the face.
