I dont have much in these three carts, so I could justify the little wheel covers , ha,ha. Before I start the next project I thought I'd share this one. I had a old wheelbarrow out back for several years with a flat tire. Never had time to fix it. So finally a few weeks ago I decided to haul it out by the road for the junk man. It only made it to my shop door. I found a larger front tire and two smaller tires and the next afternoon it looked like this, ha,ha. It works great , no more lifting to move it around, the taller push handle make it so nice at stand up level to just push. I'm glad it is not in the landfill and glad I used up three more tires.:thumbsup:

I bet you had more than a few do a double take when they seen that wheel barrow! Almost looks like it

(And three more tires) I'm telling you the kids down the need work.:thumbsup:

Ha, Ha, Ha,
Now I have 24 wheels left over from the three tables and three tool boxes. Today I oiled them up for some future smaller projects.

I started building mounting brackets for two front swivel wheels on my air compressor . Also going to make a new taller push handle for it. Even my air compressor gets moved around weekly in my small work space.

Today shows the progress on tweaking the little air compressor. It was just too hard to move around. I got the front duel swivel wheels mounted and a new more user friendly handle with some extra hooks for accesseries. Now I am starting to fabricate a upper shelf for a hose reel. It already moves around 100% better. I will be able to move it from the shop to the front garage and even out in the driveway if needed. Looks at the rough stage yet but once its done and all painted grey it will look nice.

Finished project. I got a accessory rack built next to the new hose reel. Also got all the new parts painted tonight. Going to be so much handier . Funny how tweaking stuff in the shop makes it much nicer.:cool2:

Thanks , I like that air compressor now a lot more. Today I am test fitting some dollies for my 54" snowblower. I'm using the old table supports and wheels . I'm using the frame of the blower for support eliminating having to build a complete frame.

First day back to the shop after the Holidays. I started cutting out the parts for the 54" snowplow dolly. Next week I will get going on my BBQ Grille pit cart project. This photo shows a little idea of what I will build. Mine will get single tires and mag wheels. A T-handle for easy moving around. It will get the middle gas grille , a 17" flat grill on the right side and a Acorn Jr. smoker on the left side. It will have two fold down tables on each end. I'd like to fill in the bottom sections to cover up the lp tanks. It will be another fun winter project.:thumbsup:
