This is a creative way to get your kids out of the house and have fun. See this tutorial on how to build a derby cart from a plastic drum barrel, bicycle wheels, timber, bolts and other inexpensive materials (see full list below).
This DIY project will provide a great opportunity to spend quality time outside with your kids and maybe even participate in some friendly competition with other derby cart owners, even if soap box derby competitions aren’t what they used to be.
The plastic barrel cart gives plenty of space inside and provides for easier construction than other more complicated designs.
