Step 3Adding framework for wheels
I had some offcuts of plywood, but nothing substantial enough to make a frame the size I wanted, so I cut several pieces the same size and glued them together, adding a few screws to provide extra strength. (see picture 1 and 2)
The wheels were attached by gluing the frame and screwing down into it through the base of the box.
(see picture 3)
Note: picture 3 also shows the legs of the handle end of the cart.
I then began filling in all of the screw holes so that the paint would have a nice smooth surface to run over and not create any areas to attract moisture over time. I couldn't find any decent exterior grade wood fillers, so I ended up using sawdust and exterior grade wood glue.
