I posted last week about today's reveal of the The Home Depot bloggers' virtual fall wheelbarrow project.
It's such a fun project for fall because we can pile on the pretty fall decor!
Here is my finished project:
Fall is my favorite season, so I was anxious to get started.
This is the photo we were given, and we were told to get creative and to give our own wheelbarrow an individual spin.
Instructions/About the wheelbarrow project:
Project materials list:
1 large wood crate
1-2" x 8' x 8' prime kiln dried board
3-pressure-treated 36" x 2" x 2" wood square end baluster
1/2" x 48" wood round dowel
1-box 8 x 2 &1/2" Phillips square drive flat-head
Full thread zinc-coated multi-material screw
1-pack #8 x 1" flat-head Phillips wood screws
*Optional: paint or stain
Tools:
Circular saw
Jigsaw
Drill
1/2" drill bit
String
Measuring tape
Pencil
Safety goggles
Sanding block
I measured and marked (2) 8" segments from one of the pressure-treated 36" x 2" x 2" wood square end baluster (legs).
(1) 3&3/4" segment from the 1/2"x48" wood round dowel-wheel axle
(1) 7" circle from the 2" x 8" x 8" board
Using a circular saw, I cut the two (2) 8" legs from one 36" x 2" x 2" wood square end baluster and the 3 and 3/4" wheel axle from the 1/2" x 48" wood round dowel
Using a drill bit, I pre-drilled a hole touching the outside line of the circle. I inserted the jigsaw into the pre-drilled hole and cut the 7" circle from the 2" x 8" x 8' board.
I measured and marked the center of both remaining 36" x 2" x 2" wood square end balusters at 1 and 1/4 from the ends. Using the 1/2" drill bit, I drilled a 1/2" hole halfway through the baluster at the center mark of each of the balusters using a slight 5 degree angle, with the drill bit pointing away from the short end of the baluster.
I then drilled a 1/2" hole through the center mark of the 7" wheel.
I proceeded to put the wheelbarrow together and prepared it for decorating.
