Step 2Preparation and construction
I cleaned up the garden stakes a little with the belt sander. Taking off rough edges.
I used the garden stakes as an internal framework, giving the box some extra strength.
They were cut and used as a brace in all internal corners of the box.
I cut the ply into pieces with the saw bench, giving me parts for a box that was 2m long x 1m wide and 40cm deep.
These were the rough dimensions I kept seeing in gardening books for "a garden bed" and since this was all I was going to have, I figured I should make it as big as possible.
At one end cut the corners out of the main panel and ran the garden stakes right through the panel, creating legs for the handle-end of the cart.
The initial construction pictures don't capture this well. There are more of the legs later.
All joins were glued and screwed.
