Interesting read Thank you

Surprisingly few roads in this country until very recently. Most goods were moved by water, by sledges or pack ponies. It appears that the wheelbarrow is a much underrated conveyance

Cheers,

Thank you. Best thing on the forum today.

It is great that there are people making these things. Maybe more should start using them for exercise and in gardens. Much more attractive that cheap and nasty metal ones

Thanks Sandbender. Very interesting article to read. It's indeed far more attractive than the cheap metal ones!

Superb post Sandbender!!!

It's informative posts like these that keep the old methods alive.

It would take me many lifetimes of getting it wrong to even get close to producing a wheelbarrow like that.

Thank you.

I'm glad so many folks appreciated this.

The homepage for that site features several other articles, the one on the shaving horse is worth a look.
