Time to wheel a barrow back .......... this design is from the mind of Peter Read ...... i have only copied what I have seen in his website images .....
A couple of custom touches that I have added are the powder coating of the stainless steel RHS tube, brass screws, and end caps for the tubing....

Wherever the bolts went through the tubing, a Delrin insert was placed inside the tube to prevent it being deformed when tightened. (see one in a pic ..)

Materials used:
4 metres of 25mm x 50mm 1.6mm wall 304 stainless steel rectangular hollow section
1 piece of black Delrin (acetal) 200mm x 165mm x 21.9mm
2 @ M16 x 120mm s/s fully threaded bolts with s/s washers, nuts & nylons
Loctite antiseize paste
4 @ M10 x 60mm s/s button head bolts with t-nuts
16 @ 3/16" x 1.5" brass round head bolts.
a couple of wheels

Tools:
4-20mm UniKut titanium step-drill bit
4" angle grinder
Makita slide compound saw
