THANKS DAD!!!
These last two weeks my dad and I have been building a cart that I can pull behind my bike. I'm tired of wasting good money on gas and I really enjoy bicycling as any of my friends can tell you. Yeah I could have bought one, but I like doing projects with my dad. He has over 30 years of engineering experience so why not take advantage of it? So now I have a light-weight and convenient way to transport my gaming stuff around town. It may look easy to build, but it's my dad's engineering knowledge that makes this such a sound piece of construction. He came up with the idea of using a screw-in office chair caster as the pivot for the cart and machined the bracket that holds it. He also machined and threaded the axle. Meanwhile I primed and painted the wood platform and axle.
With her all assembled I took it for a test drive and it works great. Tomorrow it will go on its maiden voyage to my local GW store so I can spend the day there gaming and painting!

You can see more images of it here.

I'm thinking of painting Warhammer 40K Express on the sides. So now I can do three things. Save money, exercise and wargame! You can't beat that!

Nope it pivots in both directions and when riding with the cart I keep my turn alittle tamer.

To think I thought I was special when I bought a new book bag.

 

The swivel connection? Doesn't it prove a bit tricky on fast turns?
