wants a new yard ornament to plant flowers and herbs in for this season. You (she) decide that a rustic wheelbarrow would work just right. To get started you need to make a wheel ( after all it's a wheelbarrow) after which making all the square stuff should be a nice weekend in the shop. The wheel doesn't have to work at 60 mph so a simple glue up from scrap, shorts and off cuts should be fine. Here is a really simple reminder and idea generator on making that wheel. The great thing about this walk through is that with some imagination the wheel can be really small or really big.
