Yeah, wood is expensive, but...20 bucks for a single piece like that is insane! A simple 2x3 and a few minutes with a rasp and sander to shape the grip would recreate that.

And it even looks from that pic like you still need to drill it for the attachment points as well. Ha! Anybody who would actually consider spending 20 bucks on that handle...probably couldn't manage to mark and drill it themselves....and don't forget that you need a pair of 'em...

By the way, those oscars are looking great!

Thank you. Lots of bloodworms and live guppies made for very rapid growth.

Interesting! A wheelbarrow without the wheel and barrow bit, lol. Nice handles though, they could double up as a billiard cue!

The word “handle” was somehow clipped from the add. For $43.18 usd (including tax) you can get two handles.

Shipping extra…

I have one of those polycart plastic wheelbarrows filled with rocks i collected for when i finally get around to rebooting my tank. Im scared to move it as it flexes and creaks from the weight everytime i lift the handle. I think it will fall apart when the time comes.

We had a black plastic one like the black SmartCart pictured in the photographs of wheelbarrows above.

Our dogs decided to eat it.

United States of America provided the shock absorber while China gave us the refrigerator.

Outstanding! I love it!

But I gotta admit that when I first saw the first pic in the above post...I though you were building a rocket-propelled wheelbarrow...

No brother, I’m not YouTube enough to do that kind of chit.

probably a dopey question but what do you use this contraption for?
you call it a stove but I can’t see any practical way to cook anything on it

Nonetheless it happens, whether you can imagine it or not.

So far, you can imagine me boiling a tea kettle, as being non-fiction. That has actually happened, and not only was tea made, but also instant cocoa with tiny marshmallows.

That must certainly count as cooking!
