Re: Building a Go-Kart
Forgot to post pictures of this year's go-kart. Decided to go with yellow this year. It sold for $75...

Wonderful to see another of your beautiful creations coming together!

Are those silver curved braces on the seats made of aluminum or plywood? ('Yes' is not an acceptable answer.

Re: Building a Go-Kart
My vote goes with plywood.
Also, no metal plate on the brake this year? Everyone's a critic.
Seriously though, nice work.

I was wondering the same thing. At the same time, I think the beautiful, rounded shape of the brake handle itself is a perfect example of the TLC required to produce a gem like this.

Worth every drop of sweat. Another inspired creation! Not that a patient craftsman like you sweats.

The seat side plates are plywood. The brake has a metal plate, but it isn’t visible in the photos.
