Funicular v1

Now that the stairs are done, Bruce has been scratching his head about the best design for a cart - something that rolls, can be stopped midhill, etc.

Then he found inspiration in an old rusty wheelbarow rim, and in a stroke of mindless brilliance he paired it up with old pipe and fencing we have tried unsuccessfully to get rid of, and voila - concept born!

He then realized a hand truck already has an axle, so got two identical ones and a hacksaw and went to town. and guess what? it rolls, and even has that train-like metal on metal sound. Sweet!

Now he'll probably build it out, stay tuned!
