Well...
This project is getting kinda busy. Would like to use a nice set of wooden wagon wheels but still deciding --- I think I am going with the 6x6s for the main supports over the axles and 2x6 for the spans using lag bolts with custom plates and metal hangers.
Haven't decide on the planks or the plywood yet. Any ideas?
I really need to think out the axle/hub/pillow block bearing configuration and also the pivoting front end design. It may look rustic on the outside but with stainless blocks, custom metal fab and lag bolts, it will be sturdy and should last a while. I dont know if it is a bad idea to go the "rustic" route, but I think it has more charm and appeal for the kids in the long run too. My plan is to construct this on a very tight but functional budget just to see if it can be done cheaply and with good structural quality. Lord knows where this thing will fit when I am done --- I have a feeling it will be sent out to "weather the storms" ---
But not in my front yard --- unless I make a wooden crawfish for the driver being pulled by a couple gators.

HAHAHA
Ideas, Comments?
