Wheelbarrow Handles are a bargain

[Tin Can]

Just got a pair, delivered $40, nice wood

They are parts for my LF Camera Handcart, also have Baltic Birch cut to size for the box

Glue & Screw

I bought the wheels 2 years ago

No drawings, I design in my head then produce

It's an Autism method for madness

Cheers!

Post a picture of the cart when it's finished!

I need something, I rode my Ebike to the grocery yesterday, about 9 miles round trip. No way I would carry a view camera in the basket of the bike without serious concerns. On my way back I noticed the incredible vibration transmitted through the frame of the bike. Bike paths are bumpier than the street. I could get a better ride by lowering tire air pressure but that makes it more effort.

Maybe a hand cart would be better??

I have a very lightweight trailer for towing with eBike, that's for 5 to 10 mile

I posted a pic some time ago

The Wheelbarrow Camera is for my porch and 1/2 acre yard

It will attract attention with ye olde decorations and flags

Sounds great!

Thoughts about controlling (softening) bicycle-pannier vibrations - mounting these to the frame with elastic straps or bungee cords - and padding between frame and bag with soft foam?

[Tin Can]

I don't and can't ride bicycle on mountains

I use these to keep things dry

I did save 60X24" closed cell foam from a mirror for reuse

However yesterday I was shipped NOS 1895 1/2 Plate camera carefully packed with recycled corrugated cardboard

No damage to contents, still LN

I bet I have more bungees that anybody here

where did you buy the handles from? only mom n pop hardware stores had stuff like that... shovle n pick handles are rare items now.

[Michael Graves]

Good idea, Tin Can. But I prefer my modified golf bag on wheels. Don't play golf, but you can carry a tripod, a camera, and quite a bit of extra gear. Too bad it's not big enough for the 810M.

Amazon has 4 choices

I used to install Snap On hammer handles as nobody knew how to do it Correctly 40 years ago

This box on 2 wheels is a 'Prop' for Performance Art ULF Imaging

The box is storage, yet also platform for ULF cameras and a chair for me

I will also use in several Historical location, such as https://www.jalc.edu/facilities-information/the-harrison-bruce-historical-village/ where I am a Docent

The last 5X7 I took there was Civil War reenactment firing of a cannon

The blast shook the camera, me and many others behind me

...anybody wearing earplugs?

...and an 1895 half plate camera - NOS? Whoa! :cool:

[Tin Can]

Of course not, no ear plugs on the 200 children behind the camera

I was definitely NOT IN CHARGE

This area is where the Civil War was between brothers on each side

Still is

Nuthin' new, of course. George Fiske in Yosemite. He took a lot of winter images, also...don't know if he used a sled then. His images were part of AA's intro to Yosemite.

I have no mules

nor assistants

no sitters

nonetheless

carry on regardless

Get a good curved Ax Handle to take along in the vehicle. Comes in handy for dispatching animals caught and crippled in barbed wire fencing. Also pretty good at discouraging certain types of people who get a bit too interested in seeing what other camera gear you might have in the vehicle.

Wrap some gaffers tape on the handle - makes for a better grip.

Keep Calm and Carry On! :cool:

...yep, that old axe has been in my family for over 200 years - and still works great! Heck, from what I've heard...over all of those years, its only needed one new head - and two new handles!

(a worthy tangent...inspired by handles? Time for coffee!)

Last time I needed a weapon, I was 19 in my parents garage, 2 men and a woman blocked the driveway with their car and quickly approached from 3 angles

I weighed 116 lbs

I picked up a 2 ft long wrench I was using, held it at my side at the garage opening

They slowed down, and said we just want to make friends

I calmly replied, I don't need more friends

They got back in their car
