    looks well thought out with the V shape to not catch on uneven terrain.
    Limited in length of splits from the view here?

    I saved it from a dumpster like five years ago. Originally meant to carry a soldier on a stretcher out of the battlefield. I was going use it for a base to make a mobile fish cleaning station that i could roll out to the back of the yard to cut stripers and tuna. Kids here now and saltwater fishing has gone by the wayside. I cant believe i never thought of it for a wood cart!
    Rails are prob 18" apart and i got 21" between tires. I cut at 20" so its perfect for me.
    Whats really nice is the legs on both ends. When i kick them down the whole thing is very stable.

    Anyway you put it- I like it a lot!
    Gooder on you coal reaper for holding on to it.
    I keep stuff for much longer than most people would, but I always find a use for my dumpster dive pieces.

    Don't get me started!!!
    Ok, you twisted my arm-(I will start a thread tomorrow) but I will share this...
    My dad told me during a lengthy visit to their house, if I was going to take the trash off, I wasn't to bring ANYTHING back... Fine. No prob, Rob.
    So I come across a brand spanking new 4' fluorescent shop light, alongside the "green box" and load it up. He threw a small fit when I walked it in the door. He backed up a bit when the thing sprung forth light upon pluggin it in.
    Needless to say, that light is still burning in his shop, 7 years hung!:thumbs:
    Done.:cool:

    The more I think about it, the more I like it. Would come in real handy, no?
