Picture of cart. SODA BAR
for the LAWN
HERE is a novel bar which will add to the convenience and attractiveness of your lawn furniture. The bar is built like a wheel barrow as shown in the photographs and the drawing on the following page. The same plan may be used to build an ordinary wheel barrow which you can use in your garden work. Merely leave out the center racks and fasten the one side solid instead of hinging it. Picture of opened cart.
Picture of wheel. The only special treatment in this project is the construction of the wheel. The rim is made in three layers which are glued and nailed together as shown in the drawing detail. The hub is cut into a hexagon shape on the circular saw, after which it is chucked in the lathe and the end corners are turned round.
The spokes are doweled to the hub and the rim is then fastened with screws to the ends of the spokes. The original was finished with outside white paint and decorated with appropriate decals. Picture of closed cart.
