    Love your wheelbarrow! My hubbie made one two years ago and we plant it up for summer - it's a dazzler. We line it with an empty plastic compost bag with plenty of holes punched through before planting up with alsorts of bedding plants - it certainly gets a second glance! I'll have a go at putting up a piccy maybe later on. Hubbie is out in the rain at the mo making a garden bench for summer. As for making the wheel WOO I'll have to ask him - I remember he was really pleased when he'd done that part! Have a great day all!

    The wheel was made from 300 mm by 20mm thick pine board easly purchased from DIY shops. I used a router to cut the circle for the wheel and a rounding over bit to round the outside edge of the wheel. A drill and jigsaw was used to reveal the spokes and a router to again round off all the edges. For the plans go to http://www.runnerduck.com/wb_planter.htm
