Jessica’s grandfather must be proud of her. A German immigrant who made his living as a cabinet maker, he knows the satisfaction of sawing, nailing and sanding to build something practical and attractive using his own two hands. I know I was impressed by the cargo crate she built for her trike. It seems the basket that came with her trike didn’t meet the standards of a craftsman’s granddaughter so she hand-built herself a new one.
Jessica built the custom crate because the original basket wasn’t big enough or sturdy enough for everything she wanted to carry, like groceries, gardening supplies, and most importantly hay and feed for her bunnies.
-
- Jessica designed the cargo crate and built it herself using only hand tools.
-
- A old-fashioned squeeze bugle horn completes the ensemble.
-
- Bag of feed and a bag of hay with plenty of room to spare.
-
- Jessica’s bunnies may not ride on the trike, but they love what it brings.
-
- Flinch will gladly pose for the camera to munch on some tasty carrots.
-
- Cinnamon is a lop-eared cuddle bug. Jessica’s bunnies have it good.
