It was a fun rebar project to make and I hope you found something of use in my video or at least found it entertaining.
The wheels are 215mm (8.5 inches) High, the flat bar is 6mm thick (1/4 inch), and 50mm wide (2 inches) The rebar is 26mm across the widest part.
The main tools I used, were a MIG welder, angle grinder, drill, Hammer, and bench vise.

Wow Gavin, fantastic work. Anyone who can make a ring out of steel like that, without a ring roller, gets a huge thumbs up. I admire your metal working skills. Thank you

This guy reminds me a lot of my dad, he was always making some cool project like homemade fireplace tools complete with with fire tongs, poker, shovel and stand. I still have a huge completely functional bear trap made with teeth and double sprung. He even made his own hot rivets he forged and hammered in. Of course he did that forging on his homemade anvil. I sure miss him. ❤️

No fancy tools just pure skill. I love what you do from Allen, Texas

Mate - your videos just keep getting better. I also really appreciate that you take the time to explain layouts design and thinking. Rather than just only doing assembly. Really excellent content - thank you.

Your creativity is inspiring. I've used rebar for cooling trays on my bench grinders. I used it for my handle on my bandsaw stand also. Just beautiful work man!

Loved the jig for the spokes, how to set out the degrees and the hole for the center made it so much easier by the looks of it. The wheels looked fantastic when on the axle, cant wait to see the finished product.
