Restoring an antique wagon for my swap meet hauling

This is my first thread ever in this section.

Last year, I bought the remnants of an antique wagon at a swap meet for 10 bucks.

I will call this my before picture...


Cracks...



Rust...




Bent parts...


First, I needed to fix the wallowed out hole where the front carriage turns, so first into the blast cabinet to get it down to clean metal that we can work with...


Then weld a nice thick washer over the hole to restore the round opening and give it some "meat" for future wear. I have got to get a TIG welder. Hopefully this summer...


Weld was nice and hot. Underside of repaired area...


(more in next post)
