The barrow here described is shown complete by Fig. 1, Fig. 2 being a plan of the bottom frame. The ash hales II (Fig. 2) are 3ft. 1in. long and 1 5/8 in. deep by 1 1/2 in. thick. The handles rise 3 3/4in. above the level of the under side of the hales. Leave not more than 5/8 in. on the faces of the hale tops, or they will look heavy. Dress out 3/8 in. on the face of the hales, and 1/4 in. under the hales. The cross pieces in the frame must be of oak, with the edges dressed off underneath. Let the hind piece tenons, gauged s in. thick, come through the hales for 1 1/4 in. to support the legs as shown by Fig. 2. The hales and cross-pieces, when finished, should be pinned tight with 3/16in. wood pins. Then put on the legs, splayed at the top; they are 1| in. square, and stand 1 ft. below the hales to suit a wheel 1ft. high. Fasten the legs and hales with bolts 3 in. long, the heads showing- outside. Not more than a 1/4-in. shoulder must be made on the legs, as the front board can be levelled sideways only. Four stays must be used for the legs, two to go under the hales, as shown by Fig. 1, and two under the hind cross-pieces. Then put in the bottom board, of 1/2-in. red deal, as shown by Fig. 2. All joints should be painted. The bottom board overhangs the front cross-piece by 5/8in. for a > dressing. Fit the sides to the hales; the front may lean beyond the square mark by3 3/4in. The sides being 9 in. deep by 5/8in. thick, reduce the hind ends to 8 1/4 in. deep. The side front ends are > edged. Run a 3/16-in- or 1/4-in. bead on the edge; then fit the front board on top of the hales and bottom board. Let the front board, of 3/4-in. red deal or elm, rise in a curve 1 1/4in. above the sides. When fitted and dressed paint the joints, and nail the sides to the front board with 1 1/2 in. cat nails: then screw on the 7/8-in. hoop iron, with Jin. round-headed screws. The iron that fastens the wheel to the barrow hale is 3/8 in. broad by 1/8 in. thick, and long enough to go past the front cross-piece by 2 in. or 3in. The ash or oak axle for the wheel is 8 1/4 in. long by 2 1/2in., tinned down at the ends to 1 1/2 in. for a ferrule 1 in. long; |-in. round pins, driven in the axle ends, stand out 1 in. to enter the eye of the iron screwed under the hales. Thero are eight oak spokes 3/4 in. broad by 1/2 in. thick, with four ash felloes l1/4in. square and bevelled to suit a 3/4-in. by 1-in. hoop, rounded on the insides. The four dowels for felloe joints are 1/4 in. diameter.

The wheel and barrow inside are painted red, and the barrow outside is painted light green, lined with lighter colour and black.
