We’ve been working on various components for a pumpkin coach for Vala’s Pumpkin Patch for some time. With the completion of the Kraay project last week, it is time to kick the next job into high gear. Because the pumpkin coach has to fit into a specific area, we need to keep size considerations in mind but we still want it to accommodate a good-sized group for a selfie. Because of its final location far down a narrow, winding path, we need the wagon to roll and the front wheels to steer, rather than be a static model. This afternoon I welded up the beginnings of a sturdy frame and rolled the axles and wheels into position for a ‘test drive’. A plastic bucket doubled as the seat. We aim to have this as a roller by day’s end tomorrow. This is going to be fun!
