Alright…Spill the beans on how you connect the handle to the front wheel. Threaded rod?

I see a ton of ways to customize with accents of different species..

The board could have some striped inlays.

Where did you get the wheels?

Great Design!

What a great idea and design. Are you going to post more pictures? I’d love to see what you did underneath the runner board and a little detail for the handlebar riser and front wheel fork. Wonderful work!

Thanks for all the comments! Connecting the handle to the front wheel and still keeping it independent of the runner did kinda stump me for awhile but in the end, as is usually the case, it was pretty simple. The front post is a glue up of two pieces with a dado down the middle, much like you would do for a lamp. Then I sent a 3/4” dowel down that and drilled into the handle and in the forks. A 1/4” dowel pins it all together. I hope I’m explaining that well enough. The wheels are from Grizzly, I live about 10 miles from their Bellingham store (which is very nice). Hope I did a decent job explaining. If not, let me know. Have a great one.
