In this picture you can see many, many things.
It does bring back fond memories as it shows our little girl when we first got her home from the pound. Her name is "Cheeky" and it suits her to a T!
To the right of her you she an old cart with boxes on it. This was a long story let me tell you!
I had bought and arranged shipment of theses Lineberry Cart & parts from North Carolina. The shipping company wound up being a scam artist of having the items shipped then mysteriously having to have to pay again to get my items out of a container that was being held by customs supposedly.
The company went out of business the minute a bunch of us paid them the money (of course) and closed up shop, disconnected the phones and vanished. Bunch of mongrel bastards!
Anyways, I digress.
I finally got my cart & items and started to work and restoring and building.
So, so many nails later and pulling the cart completely apart so that I could then begin the sanding and the rust removal.
Filling in the cracks and taking off the old rubber and rust.
After sanding and coating all the pieces with several coats of varnish, the cast iron wheels were painted with primer and then black gloss. Everything was reassembled to this final product:
I was very pleased with the way this came out. Now on to the 2nd cart which I will be making from scratch with just the cast iron pieces.
