Wagon

Okay, that’s like a real wagon. When I read the title I was expecting something my grandson would play with. Pretty cool.

This is cool. I really like the rustic look but it’s missing something. Like…I dunno…maybe a set of those Gangster chrome hubcaps…You know, the ones that keep turning after you stop the car? I know my father-in-law would freakin’ kill me! LOL! I used to bug him with that idea about his restored 1949 Plymouth Coupe…Putting a flame job on it with Gangster rims. Said he’d shoot me from the grave if I did.

Ahhhh man, you bring back some fond memories. He’s gone now, died a couple years ago, but the car remains as he left it.

Nice wagon Conway.

That is a REAL wagon!!!!!! I was like Russel when I first saw the title of the post. Boy was this a surprise.

I like the poplar. The mineral streaking gives the wood a lot of character.

Thanks for “making my day”

Good idea.

Very nice job!

For the seat on the finished wagon, did you salvage and refinish any wood from the original? I have a couple items of the same sort of age and condition as your seat was in before you started work, and I am wondering if they can be revived…

Cool wagon. Same reaction as others when I read the title.

Yes, it is a parade quality of wagon and I plan to keep it that way. I totally rebuilt the box out of red oak and saved the undercarriage as it was modified by the old timers. I am building a smaller and less finished wagon to use for hayrides and trail rides on our farm and just working with the horses.
