Made from an old barrel grill someone left at an apartment complex trash dropoff, and some aluminum pipe from a weather-destroyed small greenhouse. Besides some basic tools like wrench for bike wheel nuts and drill + drill bit to cut a hole in the pipe to fit on the wheel bolt, all I needed was a little welder to fit an attachment point behind the seat stem.
Included are some images of options I considered before realizing my best path forward. Make shit up and use trash to do it!

Turn that metal grating into a front rack/basket.
That’s what I’m thinking about trying to accomplish! The plan is to do some short-range bikepacking with it, but I’m wary of adding too much weight with the heavy metal of the grill. Might just do it anyway and go back if it’s too much.
Nice. I’ve been thinking about how I could get an extension for mine to make it easier to carry big lightweight boxes.
The grill shelf portion of this is a good potential option in that direction, though it is a little heavy. Maybe you could just bungee a couple pieces of wood tightly onto the existing rack to widen it horizontally.
I was thinking in a similar way, wood plank secured to the existing one for the occasional larger load, then taking it off when not needed.
Make sure your tetanus shot is up to date.
So true
