I've been and grabbed one of the late FiLs wheelbarrows. Best out of 4. Not saying the metal is thin but if we're talking biscuit tin then they might as well have used the plastic tray that holds the biccies!
First thing I did was ditch the tiddly front wheel and put on a solid, never flat type. Puts the front up and back down like a Capri with sagging leafs but works for me.
However, fully loaded with soil and the whole bloody thing is live and flexes like mad.
It needs bracing. I'm thinking between A and B for a start (I've marked with a Sharpie). I've some donated 70x25x2 box that should drop in there nicely. Was saving that for a router table but I think I've another couple of lengths of it.
Then between C&D, E&F. I can use some of the tonne of 25x25 I've got.
The barrow frame is 25mm tube so if I Starrett the box section to suit it'll sit nice and snug.
Sound like a plan? Fire up the MIG...tomorrow maybe!
