Hola All,

I'm looking for tips on local (South Sound) resources for the "design & prototyping" of a hand cart I want to manufacture and sell.

...any thoughts?

Interesting

What type of hand cart? What's it made out of. What's it for?
»

well, since you asked...

...I envision a hand cart for pedestrians to use to walk to from the store and also to carry stuff in general.  I'm picturing a two-wheel "side-by-side" design with a shell that covers the wheels, and a S-shaped handle. I imagine the balance to be so that the cart tips forward and stops on these little bumpers. The idea is that the shell has these little knobs along the spine (think turtle shape), and these knobs help to carry bags (saddle-bag style).

I'm thinking either a one-piece molded frame from recycles plastic or a tubular metal frame with shell.

Preorder!

if those nifty cart look anything like the ones I'm trying to import from Germany, than sign me up.

I preoder some from you and sell them in my store...

But, promise to make them in orange... I love orange!
