Howdy,
For awhile,I used a golf pull cart that had been "westernized"-I got a lot of compliments on it. However,it took up a lot of room in my Integra hatchback,and I recently built one that allows the upright handle part to be removed,and this can fit into the rear of my car with no problems,and I don't have to take it out after every shoot. Plus,it has a lot more storage room and provides a place to sit,which my golf cart didn't have. I only have a jigsaw and a drill,but that was sufficent,and everything-wheels,axle,wood,hardware and paint-cost me about $50. One way to add to the rustic look,which I have been considering,would be to get one of those wood burning kits and burn your alias into the wood somewhere on the cart.
