The chariot is still a work in prgress.
There is some overbuilt weight which can be removed from recycled pallett doug fir basket still.
It.is.going to het some.LED taillights, and burned darker, and everytbing sealed with epoxy.
The plywood axle baseplate with the Cedar forks and teak handle, are going to look far different when coated with epoxy. Some areas will get some.fiberglass roving as joint.lashing. Cedar can split along the grain, and the long deck screws did split the verticals in parts, so.lashing will prevent furthering that, and maybe look pretty cool.
Since this was designed to be used every day there are a bunch of visible fasteners that i would rather hide, and some.other compromises made which bother me, but function first.
I expected to be able to finish the chariot during Fiona's recovery, but every stage takes 3x long as expected, and on Sunday, Fiona insisted she was good enough to roll.
