Is that Jesus giving me some advice from the side of the trailer?

quick, it is a sign! this trailer must immediately be moved to a place of reverence and become a shrine to believers from far and wide! think of the money to be made! the t shirts, mugs AND you could even get your pic taken next to it....and later, when the religious fervour has died down, you can list it on Ebay US....:p

looking good as a trailer though, simon..:D

Will they just use the D40 they've got?
Can't think of anything else they've got that will tow it.

Shed and trailers are two of my favourite things!
Some expensive looking materials there, I bet the cheque book is getting a hiding!
Every time I buy steel it seems to have had a dramatic price rise from the previous purchase.


Cheers, Mick.

Thanks Mick and all for your encouragement!

You're right, the cost of metal keeps you on your toes! This is for my works triathlon team, so fortunately I'm not paying the bills for this one. I've got a very good rapport with our steel merchants so we dont pay close to retail, but it is still expensive. The cost of steel fluctuates, and likewise we dont pay the some one week compared to the next. The Chinese demands had costs go through the roof and then the GFC brought the prices back down again as demand dropped. I think its trending back up again.

Thanks JC, I'll list it now!

Well, not that I actually own it. :(

Which means it's a better return for me! :D


I forgot to take a picture this afternoon. :(

Looks great Slunnie.
I just hope it will fit out through the door when finished! :D

Cheers,
CC

That thing scares the bejeezus out of me! :eek:
Almost more than when dad woke me up by poking me and saying "come to candy mountain charlie" :eek: :D
He's a funny bugger my dad :D
Looks good, but I've worked out the real reason for you making it.
You're going to use it to disassemble my disco, so you can make off with all my shiny straight panels, motor, gearbox, etc without needing a car trailer :twisted:
I'm watching you.... :p
Looking good, you'll be able to fit the rowing gear in so they can sell off all the other trailers ;)

Chris I hope it fits through the door too! A few people have asked how I'm getting it out. The door its poking through is 2600 and the next door is 3600, so it should hopefully be ok...... hopefully. Nothing the plasma cutter wont fix.

Bit more today. Sides are on, and thinking a door might be good at the front rather than another sheet. Save opening the heavy back door everytime.

Somebody was commenting??? on the workshop. That part is an annex to the side of the workshop that then opens into a shed. Here is a pic of some of the workshop. Apologies for the mess. :mad:

It'll be interesting getting it out!

Actually it'll be interesting lifting it onto its wheels also.
