IMO, Wooden frames are NOT safe. The only time i would ever consider a wooden frame would be if like the kart is going to be used in a backyard with lots of room and its going to have a top speed of like 15-20. Anything faster than that i wouldnt use one and if it going to be used anywhere besides a backyard i would definitely not recommend one.

wooden frame is great for a push kart that you're only gonna roll down a hill.
a new welder at harbor freight is only $99. save up and do it right.

A powered wooden go kart had better be exceptionally well built, or restricted to very low speeds. Dying sucks. Dying with a million splinters in your @ss is the express train to he//.

35MPH on a chainsaw-powered 2x4? You may be expecting a bit too much.

Well- let's put it this way- there MIGHT be a reason or two that you don't see them mass-produced.
What would you expect

Not to sound like a jerk, but-
You're kidding, right? You wanna do 35MPH on THAT? Sorry- that's a Darwin Award nominee if I've ever seen one. Save that for soapbox races.
I suggest you start with a serviceable steel frame off CL or something.
