Well I had the taste for building that last cart back then as you could see from the last post.
With that in mind, I decided with the extra parts to build one from scratch as I had the cast iron parts.
So off to the recycle timber shop and got some really nice yet heavy timber slabs that were being recycled from an old building / house.
I didn't get any pictures of the build as I completely had destroyed my phone and thus all the photos in it as well. (How we got so dependent on these phones is still a mystery to me!)
Anyways, here is what I ultimately completed.
I know, I know...this is a horrid picture but it was the only one I could recover after everything was said and done. Sometimes I really hate technology!
Anyways, this cart was done with reddish timber slabs of hardwood, the center slab is solid pine. The two bars across top and bottom are galvanized with nuts to pull it all in tight like the old carts. The glass top was put in place of timber slats so that you can see the inner workings .
This is one heavy little cart, weighing in at over 200lbs (approx. 91kgs).
**Update**
My lovely had these two pics stored in the phone:
