- One man's trash is another man's treasure... This old piece of junk was worth the effort of restoring.
I hope you enjoy! I know it isn't woodturning, but there is a little woodworking and plenty of sparks too.
More videos coming soon, from the forest and the woodshop!
Thanks for watching

One fantastic job. Like that green. Semper Fidelis and Happy 248th Birthday! Once a Marine, always a Marine!
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

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!
Thank you! I thought about tossing it too... before and during the restoration, lol. I'm glad I didn't 😊
Good work Rod.
Semper Fi.
Thank you, my friend!
Great restoration job Rod.
Looks like you did a great job you're ready for spring 👍👍
Very very nice ! I can see this wagon loaded with pots of fall flowers. 👍👍👍😊
I thought about loading it up with some nice big mums for a pic... Thank you!
Very nice restoration. Looks fantastic! Great job Rod I enjoyed watching. See ya soon Brother!
Thanks, brother!
Wonderful example of make do and repair.
Thanks very much!
Great restoration Rod and should last for many years to come.
Take care my friend.
Cheers, Huw
It’s better than what you can buy.
Giving new life to something old makes you feel good.
Thanks so much! Agreed!
Great restoration Rod 👍. One less thing in a landfill. More people need to do this kind of thing. God Bless 🙏🏻.
Thank you, Scott!
Beautiful! Can't believe it looks so good considering what you started with! Evidence of your amazing talent and ability.
Thanks for sharing! God Bless
Looks a lot better!! Almost all new!
Now that is going green! Great job, and very satisfying too.
Thanks very much! I lean toward green as a favorite color...
Nicely done! Looks good.
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.
haha! Should've thought of that myself!! 😊
Really nice job, saving it from the landfill. Great colors, nice and “springtime “. And a nice addition to your channel.
Thank you very much! 😊
Nice work
Thanks!
You did a super job on this cart! Absolutely right on! God bless you. To honor your service: Semper Fi! Thank you so much for your service!
Thank you so much! 😊
Nice cart restoration, MSgt Humphrey! This video was a nice change of pace for you. However, I will say I always enjoy your woodturning and carving videos. I always learn something new from them.

Thanks, brother! I'll get back to them. I need time out of the shop sometimes... it's about keeping my mind challenged and interests paired with creativity. I'm sure you understand. 😊
It looks great and you did a wonderful job restoring it as well!!!!
I enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up for the support of your channel

Very nice restoration ❤
Thank you very much!
Looks awesome. Great job. Semper Fi.
Thanks very much!
You did a pretty nice job! You’ll get a lot of uses from it, I’m sure!
Thank you! I hope I get a few years of use 😊
Looks great, Top!
Thanks, Billy!
Awesome! One suggestion... it would look even more awesome with your branding iron logo on the sides! 🙂 Very cool!
Great idea! Thank you!
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.
Sounds like a fun and worthy project!
Very nice
Looking good.
Thank you!
Very nice! My husband does stuff like this.
Thank you, Jane!
Nice job rod .. now put a comfy bed in it and haul Edgar around with you on your walks...
haha! I like the way you think... so does Edgar!
Great job i will do the same tomorrow, same cart.😊😊😊
You’ve certainly done that keep it up m8
Thanks, mate!
You’ve added a little spice to your channel ❤🍀✊
Yep, just trying to keep it interesting. Thank you!
Too far gone to use. Not so far gone as to go to the land fill. Only one thing to do and you did it. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Thanks very much, Glen!
Cool
Thank you!
Looks great! I love the green. You didn’t say if you did or not, but if you drill 2 or 3 holes in the lowest part of the bottom, it won’t rot nearly as fast.❤️🤗🐝
Thank you! I do 😊 Very good idea. I'll do just that.
@@RHumphrey You’re most welcome❤️🤗🐝
BUENA RESTAURACION
¡Gracias!
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.
Thanks very much! I might do that...
MMM... Green. Everyone is a critic. 👍
haha! 😁
For you remind me of my grandad a REME and my dad,if you could mend it use the parts they did. Thanks for passing on your knowledge.😘😘🙏🙏
Wow, such a nice compliment! Thank you so much!
Better than the original. Mine rotted too.
I have the same cart. What wheels did you use to replace the original.
Looks great, Rod. How far into it were you when you asked yourself why am I doing this lol?
Bill
haha! Probably the second stubborn bolt... Thanks!
👍👍👍
Thank you!
👌💯🇧🇷
Muito Obrigado!
You could have made a new frame while you were at it... 😄
lol, had to save the bones! 😁
What type of wood you recommend/use for the cart?
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.
