rjR Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 Making a client's wheelbarrow planter on the 20" saw with 26" cuts. Fun to make- My own patterns. A lot of learning on every one! I use free cedar so I can sell these reasonably priced. Some hand tools used and a few different saws. Scroll saw, tablesaw, and chop saw even a handsaw for a few small cuts. The belt sander also does a lot of the more precise fitting for me. One is going to be for sale & is already claimed-- she is to get choice! Yes they are actually torched for the burned/antique effect!] The wheels are actually joined boards with an exterior splicer to add to the look! amazingkevin, TripleJScroller, me5269 and 3 others 6 Quote

Lucky2 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 Nicely done, those would make it a lot easier to store things away for winter. Just wheel the wheelbarrow into the shed, then your done. Len Quote
spirithorse Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 Very nice!I'd like to see one before you torch it just to see what the cedar looks like without the burned effect. I have always liked cedar in its natural look. God Bless! Spirithorse Quote
