[Kartbuilding] Help

[Stephen Burke]

Hi Terry,

I'm glad you like the design and information on the kartbuilding.net 
website.

I'm not sure if the kart you were looking at was:
http://kartbuilding.net/Wooden-Push-Cart/

It would be ideal for your daughter, especially if she is light. Also 
this kart can be made with common DIY tools and does not need any 
complicated welding.
There is also a 3D Model of this wooden kart at:
http://kartbuilding.net/Wooden-Push-Cart/eDrawings_wooden_push_cart/Wooden-Push-Cart-eDrawing.exe
It may help you.

You can cut the steering wheel from some plywood. It is then screwed to 
some solid steel bar.
See:

You should be able to get this Solid Steel bar from your local hardware 
store.
See the following parts list and sourcing of the parts:

Let us know if you have any questions.
Best of luck,
-steve
