KAYAK CART~ HOT OFF THE WELDER~!

Living on a small Island naturally creates

problems, and also causes one to be more

conscious of certain things...

RUST is my enemy, and the DUMP is

where I go to find replacement parts

while 'recycling' trash.

Thus, when asked recently if I could make

a kayak cart on the cheap~ the answer was

obvious~ as well as the place where some

one-stop shopping could be done.

New galvanized pipe was used for the axle

and load-bearing length of this tow-behind

vehicle accessory. The forks and wheels

and other galvanized pieces are all re-

cycled from my favorite place to

visit... (the Dump)

Does anyone else come home with

more than they take ?

Chief Seatl of the Duwamish Tribe said

in his famous letter to President Grant

that if the White Man wasn't careful,

he would bury himself in his own

shit~!

Well, there is a Plastic Continent in the

Pacific that I want to claim... but it

will take years to get there by

kayak if I start paddling now...

So, I guess re-cycling is a better

solution than throwing shit away~!

14ft Kayak towed by a 173 pound

42 year old Male, no problemo~!

Talking to the Cart's future owner,

telling him his road-boat is Yar...

Dirty & sweaty after 10 hours of

labor on a hot humid summer day...

I welded galvanized stoppers on either end of the

axle and drilled holes for bungie-cord hooks...

3/4 pipe slides into 1 inch pipe with adjustable

pin-holes, to get the balance correct given

different length kayaks etc...

A 3rd wheel is used just to maneuver this beast

around and make it easier to connect to the bike,

then gets removed before riding her away...

Posing for the camera girl is never easy, unless

you are too dog-tired to care ;~j
