Dimensional Lumber Woodworking.
Carrying dirt around one shovel load at a time is slow going. Let's build a wheelbarrow out of wood!

- At least three sides and a bottom to hold stuff
- Comfortable looking handles
- Capable of holding 100 lbs of stuff without breaking
- Show proof if it isn't obvious
- Homemade natural finish if desired
- Wheel and axle do not need to be wooden
Provide proof of the following as pictures or
video (<2 min):
- The lumber you're going to use for this
project
- Midway through the construction process
- Completed wheelbarrow
