Repurposing - Trolley

Exploring one of my favourite objects from the recycled products, I have taken a series of photos explaining how the trolley is pieced together and the shapes and forms it contains.
 The frame is the main part of the trolley supporting and giving it structural strength, it always the weight to be balanced out when loaded with items.
The sides of the trolley are designed to have straight parallel slats while the base is cross hatched, this is to keep the load in place and prevent it from falling through.
 The frame is connected to the basket by a soldered joint, this looks nicer and makes it more durable.

 Likewise the wheels have been soldered and then screwed through the centre of the wheel to keep in in place.

The trolley edges are crimped for a neat and tidy finish.
