    It’s better than what you can buy.
    Giving new life to something old makes you feel good.

    Good evening, Rod.
    This should be easy. That's how I start similar projects. Next thing I know, I made 10 trips to the shop and have 12 more tools and beginning to re-think the whole thing. Your project finished very nice and will be a useful item to have around. Thanks for the video and the lesson. Don't give up.
    God bless you & Semper Fi

    It looks terrific! Very satisfying to watch. My initial impression was to throw the cart away, but in the best category for: “Recycle & Restore” you scored a 10!

    Good to see rebuild instead of replace. First though was use that you would use Marine plywood.
    Sorry- just couldn’t resist. Always enjoy your projects, still need a eraser to go with the pencil.
    God bless.

    We have an old Radio Flyer wagon with the wooden body, I have already replaced the bottom once 20 or so years ago. looks like its about time to redo the entire wagon.

    Mines larger 26" chrome wheels was in excellent condition when i got it at a estate sale , took off the handle and converted it into a trailer
    many years of use loading brush and plant cutting caused it's demise - Plan replace all the wood and using a vinyl office mat chairs roll on carpet for sides & bottom
    should provide many years of garden service with the mat water protection

    Nicely done! It's always frustrating when the bolts are too rusted to remove, let alone reuse. I'd probably use some water repellant spray on the inside, though, just to keep it from warping, though that's a little 'extra,' I guess.

      I used 1/2" plywood... the least expensive I could find. I'll last a long time protected by the paint and is easily replaceable if it gets damaged.
