I have the same plan from John. due to being furloughed, I had plenty of time to have a go. I ended up making two normal sized ones Then I increased the size by 180% so I could use 4'' wheels to make a ride on with a box on the back, That isn't finished yet. Of course, I didn't do what you did...

Not to everyone's high standards, But , Hey I was enjoying myself in the garage on lock down. There are two of these, and yes, I know my camera is no good.

If you were near me I would put a bit of solder on that for you. But it's not classed as an essential journey

Our Medieval re-enactment group has a VERY good blacksmith in it. I can't afford his hinges! He makes them using authentic methods usually in the middle of a field. This box has his hinges on. They would retail at £45 a pair. He makes the nails as well, but there is a surprising amount of...
