Default RE: Step by Step Trailer Build

Well I have just bolted the trailer together and torqued all of the bolts, and added the trailer hitch connecting rails. Next step is to turn the trailer frame over and begin to build the box and top. Made a real bad mistake this evening by visiting Sears and the tool section. They had a super deal on a battery operated tool set that included drill, light, circular saw, sawzal, and most importantly a nailer. I have most all of these tools in 120 volt with the exception of the nailer. Well there goes $200 dollars of the savings realized by constructing my own trailer! Well show me a guy that does not own enough tools, (if such a person exists) and I will show you a guy that tests tools for a living!

This is not that difficult and is proving to be a great deal of fun! You folks have some great toy haulers!

I am going back to work on my trailer, see ya next post!

Forgot to mention that the picture is of the folding bracket mentioned in an earlier post. The two part bracket allowed for the trailer to fold in the middle. I have no need for this feature so I replaced the bracket with a solid one made from 1/4" aluminum.
