The wheels are 7/8" × 5" and may be cut out with a turning saw and trimmed to the line with a chisel, or, if a lathe is available, they can quickly be cut to size. If they are to be sawed out, a circle should be struck with a divider or compass set at a 2-1/2" radius and then carefully cut to the line.
The axle is attached to the bottom piece with glue and 1-1/4" No. 8 flat-head screws.
Bore a hole in the end of the axle, exactly in the center, using a drill slightly smaller than the screw that is to hold the wheels in position. Bore a hole in each wheel, at the center point, a little larger than the screw that is to be used. Attach the wheels with 1-1/2" No. 10 round-head blue screws, using a small washer under the screw head and also between the wheel and the cart body. Tighten the screw just enough to allow a little play for the wheels to turn easily.
Sand all pieces thoroughly before assembling, using No. 1 sandpaper first and finishing with No. 0. Assemble the body part of the cart with glue and 1" brads.
A suggested color scheme is given in the drawing.
[CHILD'S DUMP WAGON.]
This toy at once appeals to the children as it only requires a simple turn of the crank to quickly dump the load of sand.
Each part of this toy is completely detailed in [Plate 44], while [Plate 43] gives the assembly drawing.
