Garden plant cart

[curlyoak]

I have successfully addicted my neighbors to orchids. Last winter we had way below normal temps which caused a lot of work moving plants back and forth. The winter forced the creation of the plant cart.

Western red cedar is the wood of choice. My neighbor and I built it in my shop. The neighbor did the finish work and installed the copper pipe.

I'll get another pic or 2 when the cart gets loaded.

A very nice looking piece of functional art, curly!

Oh, I absolutely cannot let my wife see this!  That thing looks great.

This was built by me and the neighbor with his wife in mind. He furnished the design. An extremely worthy lady. My work is influenced by the people I'm working for. 

If there was a catalog for neighbors my neighbors would be the most expensive ones. I ask for a few minutes of a 4 handed need. Always thinking and being useful. If there momentarily no work he grabs the broom . Anytime he is in my shop the shop is always cleaner. And brings a high level of skills. And enjoys and appreciates learning more skills and knowledge.

I have had some down time with ailments and surgery in the last 2 years . I'm good now. But when I was down there were neighbors fighting to get to do my chores. I found I have a much bigger family than i thought. Feels good!

And speaking of families. This is a wonderful brotherhood!  With the awareness that the ladies are always welcome.
