Waste wheels.

10 years ago a set of wheelchair wheels were given to a member to make an old-fashioned trolley for his grandchildren. Unfortunately this was in the days before FMS existed and he really needed help as he had two left hands when it came to such advanced projects, so they lay in his garage gathering dust for all of those years. As is every man's wont, he decided to clear the rubbish, wondered what to do with the wheels and thought that he would donate them to The Shed to see if they were of any use, and then forgot all about them, BUT, the other day he rolled up and was presented with this. BrianM had taken the small wheels, found some bits of a discarded theatre hanging rail in the skip, and with his flair for this type of thing, made this. What a great idea, useful and just the right size. TFT snaffled the big wheels so all-in-all what was clogging up his garage became a really useful donation.
