Another use for a dead trailer wheel

... and an ex cement mixer - build a swift for water pipe or fencing wire. I had already converted the cement mixer frame in to a sack barrow, with limited success, so I was happy to repurpose it a second time when I needed to pay out some water pipe. A simple matter of cutting the swing arm off with an angle grinder and welding it onto the frame, then putting some cross arms onto the wheel (3x2 timber held on with coach screws).

Not only does it make unrolling the coil so much easier, it works as a trolley to move the coil about too.
