Steel Wheelbarrow Handles - $10.68

My wheelbarrow's handles were shot and the cheapest I could find were $27, which is rather a lot for a wheelbarrow that's seen better days. Instead I bought a 10' piece of 1.5" electrical conduit for $10.68. Handles are usually 60", so cutting it in half was perfect. I considered welding the fittings on but decided ease of removal was worth some drilling, especially since I already had the bolts. Even if I'd gone with the store bought handles I'd still have needed to make the holes, although drilling hardwood is arguably easier. The handles not being square didn't seem to matter very much to assembly. The tubing was a little large to be comfortable in my hands, so I flattened the handle area a bit with a large hammer, taking care that the resulting shape was aligned vertically. Not the prettiest result, symmetry-wise, but perfectly functional.
