And this wheelbarrowthis isthe bottom is one piece and then theres a solder joint right here. And you can see where I soldered the bottom into it. And I soldered a piece of copper wire around the edge to make the roll. And once I got that soldered together and then I made the wheel and this made all these pieces. This is all riveted together. See where I tapped the rivets? I just get it on a little anvil and I put the piece of brass in a drill chuck and put the one rivet head on one end and put it together and set it up on something and then I can tap on this and do the other side so its all riveted together. EH: You cant even see the copper wireit looks like once piece. BS: Yeah, I had to file it. And you can see a little bit where the solder joint was at. But yeah, I took sandpaper and stuff like that and just cleaned it up and got it so itll blend together. Thats the only place you can really see it real good. Cause I had to put a seam right theresee where its soldered together?"]%
