This was a quick honey do project , where my girlfriend asked me for one of those wheelbarrows to put in the garden as a decor.
This is easy to do wheelbarrow that you can make in a weekend. I used basic tools as you can see, most of the work was carried with a handsaw. You will also need a drill to drill holes and attach screws.
You can customize it to your required size, i used 2x6 , 2x2 and 2x4 wood. If you will leave it in the rain outside, make sure you use cedar wood.
I will be providing links to the plans as soon as i finish them.
Tools:
Handsaw : s.click.aliexpr...
Speed Square: s.click.aliexpr...
drill
sandpaper
Supplies:
Note that in inch i am using the naming, and in cm the real size. for example a 2x4 inch wood is not exactly 2 inches by 4 inches.
Also note that when i refer to 2x8 , you can glue 2 2x4 to each other if 2x8 was not available.
Same for a 1x3 if not available you can saw a 1x6 in half. This is what i did since all the wood i used either came from a 1x6 or a 2x4.
