Hey gang!
So this is a crazy idea. Stumbled on a few pictures/videos of small vintage HAND CRANKED (in one model bicycle powered) carousels. Saw one on the back of a wooden horse drawn carriage, but couldn't get it to link.
Wondering how much a challenge it would be to build a small version that would mount on a utility trailer? This would go over big in hippy artsy Asheville, if I could build it simple, with adequate safety.
This link I believe is a manufacturer

Here's a vintage mechanism, would need to be smaller.
Here's videos of hand-cranked Carousels

I'm thinking something simple, would need gear and shaft, canopy, maybe 4-6 swings or seats?
Crazy idea for Saturday thoughts.
