My style of Amish Wheelbarrows
I made this wheel and barrow using recycled materials in the style of the Amish, the sides can be removed to convert it into a flag platform and replaced again in a few seconds, they are still made by the Amish today as they were in the 1850's, a tried and tested design, and believe it or not they are still roughly the same price as they were back then.

The wheels are genuine English pattern taught to me by retired wheelwright Michael Collishaw or Newark England, a skills I really enjoyed learning, no punctures in these wheels.
Below is a half scale sized barrow made from rosewood or Purpleheart that was recycled from an old packing crate salvaged from the log pile, we keep it in the living room window for a planter.
