Hacking together a quick & dirty log hauling thing from this axle with one wheel and one wheel with cut off axle I found in the junk piles a while ago.
Wanted to do nicer but I need it now :)

The two wheels now mounted on the same axle with the help of two steel pipe sleeves made from a fencepost and some other junk. A very rusty piece of C-beam is on top of it. It looks like it just got dug out of the earth, which is indeed the case.
The stubby axle is being extracted. Here the final stage of escalation, driving it out with Mjölnir, the wheel crookedly sitting on two steel sawhorses, also from the yard junk. Mjölnir is a big hammer that is staged on the axle stub here.
Two steel wheels. One has a ~1m long axle attached to it with no wheel on the other end. The axle is clamped into a big drill press vise sitting on an upside down beer crate. Another wheel with a short cut-off axle is on the opposite side, just kinda leaning there.
