  1. Is the dwarf helping you build the trailer then?

  3. Oakenshield the trailer worrier!
     
  4. Trailers are cool, it's a Man thing, and building them is even better.
     
  5. I like the idea of a dwarf in the garage.
     
  6. Male or female??
     
  7. Ooooo,choices,choices.
     
  8. To toss...?
     
  9. Be careful, you know what it's like, it all starts with a dwarf in the garage and before you know it you have a daughter and a granddaughter in the cellar!

    Nasher.

  13. Ahem - I think you started it, that makes you the ring leader. - Que some more Dwarfs in clown outfits.
     
  14. Quick update.
    First dry build and so far so good! All my prefabricated material fit beautifully. Still need to drill off a few holes and fabricate the spare wheel carrier.
    Then off to my mates workshop for a date with the Big Mig. IMG_2129.JPG

  15. Does something like this need to be tested to keep your insurance valid. Only asking because im assuming factory built trailers come with some sort of SWL cert.
     
  16. Yep you should get them tested
    However. It's pretty easy to claim it's a refurbished trailer if you rivet an old plate on it. But I'll probably go safe and have it tested.
     
  17. IMG_2166.JPG Update!
    After a very busy 5 hours and a lot of tacking & welding. It's all glued together! And so far so good. Only one small mistake made when I was having to get a shift on. I welded a floor bracket to the draw bar facing the wrong way round. It's not a problem more of an irritation.
    Buy once the floors on you shouldn't notice it.
    Next up Galvanising!
