what makes a real soapbox? How is one made? $M1

Tip for best answer: M$0.37
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

A soapbox is a raised platform that a speaker stands on to be heard over a crowd or to gather a crowd. Often used by politicians and public speakers in the park :)

To make one all you need is a box that is strong enough for you to stand on - an old vegetable box might work or a step-up used for exercise. The old ones were wooden.

The phrase 'get off your soapbox' really means get off your box and stop making a scene, stop sprouting rubbish etc like a politician :)

AND, if you wanted to make a billycart - try this site, its great!

EDIT - and I found a good link to what you should consider when you race or make a billy cark ( soapbox racer )
