Made from 99%+ salvaged materials, even the screws on this one!

Oldest daughter -in -law wants wheelbarrow planters.

Finished first one today, 2nd is about 1/4 done.

This is just over 4 feet long and will be in Lynnwood WA on a deck. Wheel is cut on scrollsaw then sanded to cure screw-ups for a better round. The wheel is actually 8 pieces of wood.

The angle that seems to work for the handle spread is just a touch over 5 degrees.

The handle ends are rounded of by hand with an 80+ year old draw-knife! I sharpen it with a small diamond file set.
Just follow the angle of the blade and keep the backside flat!

Torching is done wth a small propane torch at a fairly high flame—and all fires are extinguished immediately!

Yes, it is actually on fire a few times.
