Heres the hand truck I restored for my Pops Christmas. He's into trains and this is supposed to be a railroad truck. He gave it to me cause I thought the wheel would make some cool belt sander wheels. But I cant trash something so cool. I'm no wood worker and this is my first try. Figure I did ok. De rusting was simply white vinegar. As you see I had to turn a new axle. I took .100 off the old axle and still could not clean up the rust. All Oak with a cherry oak stain with very little sit time so not to dark. I had nothing to tell me how this thing should look. I just made it how I thought it looked good. Even my 5yr old used the bridgeport on this one
