Using a grinder with a rust removal disc attachment, smoothen up the car rim until all of the rust and uneven surface, then repeat with the other car rim, and attach them together using a welding machine along their center edges. Grind and smoothen the edges of the joined center, then mark the midpoint horizontally and use a straight piece of wood to connect the midpoints together and make a straight line, and cut along the lines.

Step 2
Cut a few small pieces of small square steel bars, then attach them to the sides of the cut center as shown in the video, and attach the bolts. Make a cut for the opening of the rim and cut the top open completely, then smoothen out the edges, cut a piece of angle bar, and install it on the sides for the handle.
