robinb Posted December 19, 2015 Share #1 Posted December 19, 2015 We finally got a break in the rain so I could assemble my latest cart and see just what I have. I'm happy to say that it's about 99% complete. Just some missing leather straps is the only problem that I found. The shovel and broad ax I already had and are period correct. The two wooden tool boxes were stored separate from the cart and are excellent examples of the paint that I'll need to restore the cart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Keith Posted December 23, 2015 Share #2 Posted December 23, 2015 That is Very Nice! Thanks for showing it. I see the shovel isn't new, it is used. (joke) BKW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robinb Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share #8 Posted January 11, 2016 The only things that are missing are the 8 screws that hold down the tool boxes and the leather strap for the shovel. I'm very pleased with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
