Okay, I didn't use the Factory Cart Coffee Table plan for my version, but since mine was inspired by the same piece as the Factory Cart Coffee Table, I decided to brag.
As is the case with all my projects, I used 100% "rescued" materials (salvage, leftovers from someone else's project, garage sales, dumpsters, curbside, etc). Wood, hardware, wheel and castors, glass, glue, finishes- all of it.

Really nice. I actually like the way you painted the Simpson galvanized hangers black. I would like to know the same as Pam the Goatherd. Where did you get the big wheel?

Wheel
Got the wheel from a guy about 5 miles from here with a few acres packed full of all kinds of stuff. It's basically a junk yard for everything besides cars. Lots of super cool industrial-type stuff. Pretty tragic, really, since most of the stuff sits exposed to the elements year round. Anyway, I make sure my Tetanus shot is up-to-date, throw a few tools in my jacket, and go digging. I've scored a few times there. If you're near Battle Ground, WA let me know and I'll give you directions and the name of the dog that guards the joint in case you happen upon him.

Luky!Only other place i would have to go home to the Bronx and find this item in one of the junk stores.
Thank you for the kind offer, unfortunately I'm in Maryland. Only good thing comes out of this is the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival the weekend of mothers day in May.
