Two Grills, One Cup

[sbgixxer]

Whomever lived in this house before me must have lived through the depression. There are metal blinds in the garage and they've been repaired. I'm just carrying on the tradition of the prior home owner. And my grandfather, who welded in a new bottom on his old wheel barrow that I now have.

Repaired blinds and welded in a new bottom to his old wheel barrow? F n' A! Not everything needs to be a shiny new hunk of sh*t from China that will need replacement in a year. I despise our wasteful, throw away society. It's great for China but can't last. Besides, these repairs require thought and ingenuity that should eventually evolve into skill. Good on you Irving, I want to see your wheel barrow.

For a grinding & welding station. Buy a few welding blankets and make a frame for them, to hang off.

As requested. I didn't get the best shots cause the wheelbarrow is busy holding some wood for me.




When my neighbor (cut from similar cloth as me) first saw the wheelbarrow, he commented on the welded in bottom. He was making fun of it and asking why he wouldn't just buy another one. He also borrowed my wheelbarrow many times over a few years until he got his own. This wheelbarrow has been loaned out up and down the street actually. The wood handles are getting old, but she's still kicking.

Beautiful.... in the way a "rat-rod" is. Looks heavy. Probably 3X the weight of a new one... with 10X the longevity. Nobody has been gentle on that thing.
