I uploaded a few pictures of my woodworking skills, and added a sketch of an example of what I can do, too.
Check out pictures 3 to 5 in my profile. Picture uploading here in the forum takes ages and tells me just "there were errors" afterwards, so you have to take the other road for pictures.
With some inspiration from a gentle soul I did a small research into the nature of sulkies for ponygirls, and found that they are comparatively simple designs almost ideal for "Do-It-Yourself" in wood-construction.
So, I did a calculation upon the material of a small, wooden off-road capable sulky, which is easy to modify to fit different requirements.
That would make, purely material-wise:
2 wheelbarrow-wheels : 2* 30€
2 separate axles : 1* 10€
2 wheel-stoppers : 2* 6€ ( Keeping the wheels on the axles )
8 Steelplates : 8* 5€ ( Interconnections )
2 wooden beams 3m : 2* 5€ ( to hitch the ponygirl up to )
1 wooden beam 1m : 1* 2€ ( Footrest and stabilization of the Beams )
2 wooden board 60*40 : 2* 5€ ( Seat )
1 wooden pole 1m : 1* 9€ ( To attach everything to )
I finished the sketch and uploaded it as Picture 5 in my profile ( that.. is .. the sixth then? ) - it's not much but then again the design is reduced down to the bare minimum, a so-called skeleton.
Yet again, the wheelbarrow-wheels, whilst not being elegant, do perform, as we know from worksites all over the world perfectly in every kind of terrain, thus are ideally suited for the rich diversity of terrain found in the forests around my homestead for example.
Furthermore I can make it easily that way that it can be disassembled to easily transportable parts with a minimum of tools ( which could be attached at the sulky itself in a small toolbox ).
And now to the artistic aspect:
Imagine it, robust, sturdy, as a lovely ponygirl pulls it along over a road in the forest, under the shimmering sparkles cast down from between the leaves.
Than and when a whip kisses her buttocks when she shows signs of slowing down.
The birds sing above you, and to the left a river sings its merry song dancing over stones. The sulky makes barely any noises, only a deep thrumming as the wide wheels run over grass and sand. The beams that are tied to the ponygirls waistbelt are of polished pinewood, finished with a clear, glossy varnish, and carrying a regular banded pattern

along their sides in gleaming black.
Well?
That's what I can build. Sadly I cannot provide any ponygirls.
If I had one myself it'd be quite possibly a zebraess and I wouldn't hand her out.
So, comments? Feedback?
