Things You'll Need

Instructions

1

Lay out the 1x6 boards side-by-side and measure in approximately 2 inches from each end; make a mark with chalk, pencil or marker on each board.
2

Lay each of the 2x4s flat on your work surface and position the 1x6s on top with the outer edge of the 2x4 even with the marks on the 1x6.
3

Nail the 1x6s to the 2x4s using 8-penny nails. This creates the bed of your pushcart.
4

Drill a hole in the center of each end of the 2x4 at least 3 inches deep.
5

Run a lag or carriage bolt through the center hole of a lawnmower wheel and secure the bolt into the drilled hole of the 2x4. Repeat with the other three wheels.
6

Cut the 1x2 into two 24-inch sections and one 18-inch piece.
7

Secure one of the 24-inch sections to one end of the 18-inch piece and the other 24-inch section to the opposite end. This forms your push handle for your cart.
8

Attach the handle to one end of the cart, using 8-penny nails driven from the underside of the cart into the 1x2 ends.
