These guys build some Borax Wagons . Very impressive.
Woodworking and Iron working.
Just interesting watching old technique and new tools working together
and still recognizing how much work was involved.

That was a pretty neat link. Spent some time on the site trying to think of what it was like back then to be involved with moving, working and making such heavy pieces.

The idea of a 1200lb wheel is just incredible. Then, times 4, then fitting them to the wagon. Sooooo much hard labor.

Enjoyed that site.

Just a *little* more modern but a 1320lb wheel.
