Thank you. It was a fun build. Got to try out my new machine a bit and made something that's real useful to have. Looked at trailers for quite awhile before building this, was never satisfied with them they all seemed to be welded poorly and under built to me. Granted I over killed the crap out of mine. the frame is 4C on the sides that I notched and bent for the tongue. the internal structure is 2"X 2" X 1/8".

That should last the distance. Looks good, too.
Well done.

Thanks to all for the complements. Very nice to hear that people who know something about fabrication and welding appreciate it.
Props to Jody as well. Couldn't have done it with out his Guidance. Could have mig welded this in my sleep. But would have learned nothing. Again thanks for the support

I used 2x8 redwood. Painted it with a water sealer to help it last longer.

I purchased the whole kit online. Comes with all the stuff but the steel for the frame and what ever you use for the deck. Truckandtraileracceries.com they have lots of options to choose from even called to make sure I ordered the right width axel.
