i found this on Craigs list for free.
|
|
|
this boat was in poor shape.
|
|
|
here is the last picture of the boat.
|
|
|
This was an old boat trailer that i am making into a Flat 6'X10" trailer.
|
|
|
I need to fix the tounge and the pivet mount was damaged so i cut out the old bolt.
|
|
|
while getting parts i found this chipper shipping create. the store owner said get it out of here....so i did. this will make a great plat form base. just alittle cutting and welding.
|
|
|
this was the rest or the top of the create. 2"X2" thin stock.
|
|
|
here is the base all cut and getting ready to re-weld the correct way.not bad for free...
|
|
|
ok- it been awhile but some of the plans changed. i got this back out on the side yard and started to build the trailer. it will be 4'X10" when completed. i needed to fix the hinge so here is the parts all lined up.
|
|
|
this is what i came up with i welded in a round stock in the square tubing to give a better weld angle.
|
|
|
here is the top view of the new hinge.
|
|
|
i then took a tire iron and chopped the rod to the correct size. i then drilled and pinned the hinge into place.
|
|
|
out came the axle. i had many different ideas on size but the final size is going to be 4X9 or 4X10.
|
|
|
i had this steel shelf sitting on the side of the house and it was 42" wide so i chopped in half. I welding it to the center bars.
|
|
|
Here is the other side. it is almost ready for the deck and sides.
|
|
|
now the deck is all weleded. here is the front lower deck protection and start of the side.
|
|
|
i installed the front leg and wheel.
|
|
|
here is another view of the completed deck.
|
|
|
with the corner posts in place i was tring a few different sides rails and supports. this was the final look. it is currently duct tape.
|
|
|
here is what it will look like from behind. i do not need the 2 supports in the front but it looks better.
|
|
|
here is what it will look like from the front.
