My Wheelbarrow Conversion

[Haironyourchest]

Built my third 3 wheeler barrow together yesterday, got it down to a fine art now so thought I might as well document my method.

Why didn't you screw another nut on to adjust the stud, rather than hit it with a hammer?

 

Can't beat a little penertration by the way.

I do have a tendency to inspire innuendos...the bolts were shanked, hard to see on the vid, could have done it with a tight pipe sleeve it's true.

Excellent idea and video , thanks for sharing.

You've got a good voice as well.

Thanks Darren. I considered messing with the pitch and going full on James Earl Jones but my girl said no. Might as well be real.

Weld the axle to the barrow.

Weld the axle to the barrow.

 

Tried that once but the tube frame is too thin, just burns through. A skilled welder could do it, or maybe an average guy with a MIG. Also the tube rusts long before the axel so It would eventually break at the weld I would think. The bolt-on axel can be removed when the barrow is knackered and put on a new barrow. Thats the theory anyway.

I enjoyed watching that. It was well put together. I particularly liked the carefully selected, quality leylandii log you were using for a workbench at the start! Have you ever thought of a career in modelling?

Seems to be agreed you have a good presentation and delivery..

 

Plus it got me thinking as well, I like to dabble makin stuff myself.. was thinkin of modin a trailer bed I have lyin around and fashion a rudimentary tipper out of it...

 

If I had one of those plasma cutters I'd be on it... as it is, I'll probably end up thinkin about it and leave it at that LOL...
