Reply:Looks good.  My time...well, I'm not so artistic so my time would've been less than yours b/c I might've done away with the wagon and replaced your horizontal pipe with a piece of 6" sch 40, tapered at one end and painted to look like a crayon!  I know, lazy and boring....
Reply:not knowing what tools you have to cope pipe and do the wagon sheet metal, etc.  I am going to say 3 hrs before paint

Reply:three hours? that seems really really really fast.it would take me 3hrs just to do the pipe.
Reply:Definitely a cool little wagon.  I'm just thinking that the reactor at the nuke plant is melting because somebody took the handles off the gate valves for the cooling system.
Reply:That's beautiful. The second thing that came to mind was, as previously mentioned, drainage for the wagon.I would bill about 5 hours including finish for the work.Regards,RobGreat Basin WeldingInstagramBlue weldersRed weldersMy luscious Table DIY TIG Torch cooler
Reply:I don't know, I just think it is nice, wish we had that when we ran our daycare.But I do agree on the crayon idea, would be a good idea.

Reply:Tig,No short bus fabricator work there! looks great. I wouldn't touch if for less than eight hours, might be why I don't do signs!LarryMiller XMT 304 CC/CVSyncrowave 180 SDLincoln PowerMig 255XTTermalDynamics 52Lincoln 305GComlpete machine shop to back it up
Reply:That would take me two days to complete. You got a good bit if time into that due to the quality I see you put into it. I may have cheated and just purchase a red wagon to save some time on the wagon build.  What ever you have into this all I can say is that you've done a very nice job on it.

Reply:Ok, very keen, how about something in the wagon. Crayon box with a few sticking out  or a teddy bear...?As U drive by u would surely know the kind of biz, and that means a good sign.  aok  We put a large one up for my misic shop with a relief cut out in the middle and a  model of a guitar so you could see it coming and going.  Everyone used to want the guitar in the sign. Was it real? etc.  Possibly this wagon might be tacked down real good? so it stays there.Lincoln Power MIG 215Lincoln WeldPak 3200HDLincon ProCut 25Lincoln WeldanPower 225 AC/DCIf all else fails... buy more tools
