Well, now you see it is easy to make new handles. Let me know how it goes.

Picked up 2 wheelbarrows up at a garage sale that needed handles. I was surprised at the price for a set $24-39 on Amazon. That's a lot of money. I'll be creating a pair just like yours this weekend. Also, I was thinking it might be a bit easier to apply the oil before attaching the handles. Thanks for a great video. You asked about an idea to improve your videos, when you are doing redundant or long segments you can speed up the video so that the majority of the time is spent on the particulars of the project. Again, I'm only sharing because you asked. Keep up the good work.

With Bidenflation, that Amazon price is now $38 !!

watched your show and now I will copy you and save some money!!

I pulled a wheelbarrow out of the trash last weekend. My son-in-law are going to refurbish it and it's going to him. I plan to use the old handle, clamp it to the new one and drill the holes that way. It should (jinxing myself here) be a pretty easy job. He needs to buy a new wheel though. Edit: You should also consider how the grain is oriented, you'd want a vertical grain pattern.

I’m so glad I found this lesson to heal my wheel barrel!!! Thanks 🙏

You forget to oil it before putting it together? Wood mite last a little longer, doing before.

nice job. Why not use old handles as a template for new holes?

Hello, Just picked up a double wheel wheelbarrow my neighbor down the street threw out because the handles had seen better days (much like yours). After watching your video I'm off to making a set of replacement handles. Thanks for the clear and concise explanation on how to make them. Cheers!

I am happy you found it helpful and that yo guy got a good deal on the wheelbarrow

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me.

Nice Job! I just bought (2) 8 foot 2 x 3 lumber studs which was thicker than the original handles and cut to length and bought longer bolts for the original were rusty and too short. It came out good and stronger than original too for less than $18 for parts. Take care!

Thanks, Jeff!

Great job! Looks nice, same thing happened to my old wheelbarrow but after all the parts replaced, 2x4 and new tire its almost as much as a new steel one. But thanks for the video. I still might restore mine too

Great video! Very nicely done with the video!

Nice work. Might give that a try.

Nice work and very helpful.

Thanks for great video! Gave me a good idea of how to fix mine.

I am happy that it helped! Thanks for watching.

Instead of reaching underneath the wheel barrel while it’s upside down and holding the bolt there’s a possibility that you can tape it just to get to thread started something I’m going to experiment with when I rebuild mine

I need to extend my handles . The ones from the store are way too short . Thanks for the video !

Very Good!!

Good job. Shave along the grain for easy shaving.

Thank you for sharing, sir. Knowledge is power = $ave Money from buy a pair ($55)

Handle broke and your tutorial was first to pop up. Was looking for the tool to round the end. Have to find me a draw knife or something similar. Thanks.

You can set circular saw at a 45 degree angle and Carefully shave the corners of square into octagon.

I plan to use a router with a round-over bit if I have a bit that's big enough.

Looks just like my true temper gray plastic wheelbarrow was not sure if I should throw it out or make handles, and I was wondering if pine would hold up. I thought it originally came with hardwood handles like hickory or something. How are the pine handles working out?

You can use hickory or ash, but the pine holds up just fine. They are plenty strong and if you treat them a time or two each year with some linseed oil, they will last a long time.

Idk about using spruce for handles,its kinda a weak wood. Store bought handles are pricey,so I understand ya using what you had on hand. I think I've got some 2" thick white oak that should work ok and hold up well outdoors. My cheap true temper held up for almost 15 years,but the tub is gettin rotten. My brother in law gave me a jackson construction grade that's folded steel and has a broken handle. I'll replace the hardware as well since its original.

So is that an ordinary Spruce/Pine/Fir softwood 2x4 you are using for this, or is it hardwood?

Twobafur. Yes!!! Xxxx

If this is softwood construction 2x4, won't be as strong as original hardwood handles.
