Garden Cart Made From Discarded Wheel Chair

Garden Cart Made From Discarded Wheel Chair FARM HOME Food 20-6-37 Enclosed is a photo of a garden cart I made from a discarded wheel chair. The chair frame was broken but the wheels were good. I started by sawing off the wheels and enough of their mounting hardware to bolt them down securely. I started with a 2 by 4-ft. piece of plywood for the bottom, reinforced with 1-in. lumber. The metal sides are 1/ 16th aluminum salvaged from an industrial roof vent. I put four shelf brackets inside for strength. It'll carry as much weight as the wheel chair ever carried. I use it mostly for firewood. (Tom Martin, Rt. 2, Box 140, Bedford, Va. 24523)
