Made-It-Myself Handy Cart
Sheldon Toso was born in Fergus Falls, Minn., and later moved his family to California in the 1970s. “When I’m not splitting wood, you may find me digging dirt and moving rocks,” says Toso.
“I decided to make a hand cart for moving large rounds of wood from the wood pile to the wood splitter that are well beyond my weightlifting limit.”
The cart is made entirely of aluminum, except for the axle and tires. The sides are handrails from an old pontoon boat. The handle is a piece of round stock used as a pin to connect aluminum docks. The back is an old road sign. The base is made from 1/4-in. diamond plate and a few pieces of scrap aluminum. The four tires are from a used wagon with a 30-gal. spray tank.
Toso uses a steel hand hook made from 1/2-in. rebar to load large logs.
