Making a Billy-cart
This will take you back a few years. Before you get cracking on this little gem be sure you know where you can actually use it. Gone are the days where you’d send the kids off down the local street. If it’s mostly on grass, invest in some decent sized wheels.
You’ll need 2 fixed axles with wheels attached. Old prams are the go. A couple of decent planks (18mm pine) to sit on and cross bars (88mm X 37mm). Rope (for steering), screws for fixing the rope, box for seat – think about making that comfy and safe with foam.
Tools, as my father in-law says “you’ve gotta have it all” (drill, saw, hammer, nails, screws, spanner and bolts).
You’ll whip this little beauty up over an easy weekend and you should do it all for around $40.
