My build. Polite comments only please

I need a cart, and there were parts laying around. A used hand cart makes the frame $0. Front tires off a Bolens lawn tractor that I found in a canyon $0. Used galvanized pipe that I pushed into used PVC. Cut notches in, welded on some tabs, and welded onto frame $0. 3/4 round stock for an axle, 1" square stock for a handle $10. I welded a raised plate on the handle to slip a strap winch onto $20. Clamped by vise grips that I carry in the car.I use this winch on my trailer. Had to put tubes in the tires, $20, because the rubber was old. Doesn't look like much but I can get the SX, X2, TS, & SS on it. I can see places for reinforcement, but it's time for a beach test.

Re: My build. Polite comments only please

looks like it should work just fine. only thing missing is a grip on the handle so it doesn't slip out of your hand.

Exactly. 2 bucks worth of Rustoleum would render that 100% redneck free.

Well done. Seriously.
