Finally after struggling with crap plans from homehardware which meant having to redesign & remake some of the parts 3 times the Billycart for grandson number 1 is finished it had its first run and it's first crash all in one day. Grandson & Billycart survived crash .Have started on my slab coffee table hopefully this will be easier than the billycart.attached are photos of the billycart & one of the little bikes I made for grandsons 2 & 3.Cheers Kat

Hey Artthankyou ,who would have thought that a billycart could be so hard but the end product is awesomely fast both my daughter and I had a few runs The slab is camphor laurel, I have 2 both were 7 foot long till I cut 2 feet off the one pictured as my coffee table doesn't need to be that long. Luckily camphor laurel is relatively soft as I don't own a table or circular saw so I was able to hand saw the end off with my trusty japanese pull saw.Cheers Kat
