It was time to remake the old dilapidated wheelbarrow that has served it purpose for a number of years and is falling apart. The design worked so well and lasted longer than I thought so I just remade it but changed how I assembled the parts.
Since I have a CNC I decided to mill the parts out with some accuracy this time. It didn’t take long to draw the parts and off I went to Lowe’s to pick up some Cedar.
I failed to take some pics of the CNC cutting but the pieces came out perfect, well exactly how I had drawn them anyway.I decided to use biscuits for the assembly and broke out my biscuit joiner and started cutting.
I assembled the frame first using the deck boards to help with the width.
Then started on the deck
All glued up and ready to go..
I then created the sides in a similar fashion.
I re-used the side hardware from the old wheelbarrow, the front hardware is threaded rod bent to shape and the rear hardware is made from aluminum scrap also bent to shape.
I then attached the front wheel, again with some threaded rod.
and there we go.. nice little shop project ready for Spring.
It should be in good shape for another 10+ years…
If I was able to help you figure out and fix your problem, buy me a beer! and Thanks..
