Mike,

I'll be very interested in seeing your ideas. My wife would really like to have a portage cart. Intending to build one, I bought some wheels, but never got around to designing and building a cart. Maybe this will jump-start that effort.

Glad you liked the cradles. I'll be giving them a workout this weekend when I make the trip from OH to NH to attend the Newfound Woodworks Rendezvous. Hope to see some the group there!
