making bearings

One of the simplest bearings is a block of hard wood with an axle size hole drilled into it. Then cut the block of wood in half, mount one half securely to the frame, apply grease, insert the axle, more grease, then attach the other half of the block of wood. This type bearing works for slow revolutions such as your wheelbarrow.

You will have to weld the wheel to the axle making it one piece so the wheel and axle turning together, instead of having the bearings inside the wheel, and only the wheel turning.
