Hi Andy,
Sorry for the late reply, thank you mate.
cheers
Richie

Hi All,
I can now move on with the build as I have run a test cast on the wheels. I'm quite pleased, very rustic and artisan looking although I may refine them some more.
cheers

Hi Aris,
Thank you mate, it is turning into a bit of an epic. It took me 4 to 5 hours to band, stud and make parts out of metal.

I am now at a critical part which is the wheel guard assembly. I need to join the two metal rims together but it has to beright because it has to meet up the wagon side correctly. I also need it joined to give me the best chance of casting it.

I'm not too sure if I need to put in cut out braces which can then be replaced by the metal braces or fix the metal braces to the wheel guards. I will ponder over this one a while.

Anyway here are how all the parts stand to date.
cheers
Richie

Richie this looks amazing and it is obvious that a lot of work is included.That is why it will be gorgeous besides epic.
