"M" is for Mini Wheelbarrow
Build: mini wheelbarrow
Build your own wooden mini wheelbarrow to make the perfect Spring table decor.
Some marshmallow peeps were hiding in our grass:
This wheelbarrow could hold anything - plastic eggs, bread, wrapped silverware for a buffet setting:
We starting growing wheat grass last week and now we have this:
I lined the wheelbarrow box with plastic wrap and plopped in one whole tray of grass.
Then I cut up the other square tray into long strips and shoved the grass down the sides:
I was inspired by Pottery Barn's wheelbarrow serve bowl:(Currently sold out so you'll want to make your own!)
My version is a teeny bit different:
And I did find this laundry line wheel at the local hardware store AFTER I had my wheel all cut and ready to go but it would make a great industrial looking option:
Here's how to make the mini wheelbarrow:1. Cut list:
2 - 1x4 @ 13" cut ends 15 degrees not parallel (box long sides)
2 - 1x4 @ 10" cut ends 15 degrees not parallel (box short ends)
1/4" plywood @ 9 3/4" x 8 1/2"*(box base)
5" circle cut from 3/4" plywood (wheel)
2 - 1x1 @ 26" (handles/supports)
2 - 2x2 @4"*cut one end 10 degrees (legs)3" hex screw, washers and nut
* measure actual space prior to making cut
2. Build the box.
Using 2" finish nails and glue start with one long side and two short ends:
Add the remaining long side:
Then glue the 1/4"plywood base in place, pushing down in from the top:
3. Cut wheel.
Trace around a plastic deli container top to get a perfect circle.
4. Drill hole in center of wheel usingdrill bit to fit 3" hex screw:
Drill holes at end of 1x1 handles, try to angle hole slightly so handles can angle outwards:
5. Put wheel and handles together:
6. Attach handles to underside of box at one short end.
Predrill, glue and screw with 2" wood screws:
(You could also add screws at other short end of box but it's not necessary.)
7. Cut legs:
(Legs are pictured upside down.)
8. Line up legs just inside handles on underside of box:
Glue and screw down from box into leg:
Ready for paint:
9. Paint box Benjamin Moore lucky shamrock:
Distress, stain Minwax Early American and seal clear satin poly:
