[Kartbuilding] wooden go kart

[Stephen Burke]

Hi Jason,

So you are going to build a wooden go-kart as a project. A few things you 
would need to ask yourself:

1. Do you want a Steering Wheel?
2. Do you want Brakes on the Kart?
3. How heavy will the people using the Kart be?
4. Do you have any money to buy materials for the kart?

There are two main sets of plans on the kartbuilding.net website:
1. http://kartbuilding.net/Wooden_Go-Kart_Plans/index.html
2. http://kartbuilding.net/Wooden-Push-Cart/

The first kart there can be made from various bits of timber, however it 
does not have a steering wheel. The second kart has a steering wheel, but 
is made from a sheet of plywood, and would not be as strong as the first 
kart.

If you have any specific question just ask.

Best of luck,
-steve
