Are you a welder by trade?

 

[koditten]

That is one good looking trailer.

KO

 

[btamkel]

thanks! no i'm not a professional welder but i do welding for money. I do mostly motorsports and gates but this is not my main business

Nice job! Care to share any construction details? I am looking at doing a similar build next year.

Also, I am assuming that the middle rack is for cylinders stored horizontally. If so, do you operate them in that position? Do you use propane or acetylene? I know that acetylene is not supposed to be stored or operated in anything other than the vertical position. Just curious.

Ditto

yes the racks are for 2 oxy cylinders and used in that position the acetylene is in a vertical position but i didnt have in mounted in this pic. everything on there is mounted and can be removed if needed. I made the oxy for 2 cylinders cause you will always use more oxy than acetylene.

yes i can i took pictures as i went ill see about starting a build tread

I'm tracking now. Very nice! I would love to see a build thread, and I really want to see this guy all loaded up! Keep up the great work, brother!

I just started with a basic frame 10' x 77inches. The axel is 89 inches face to face. All the frame is out of 2x4 tube. The axel is set on a 60/40 from the front.

 

[btamkel]

axel mounted and the tounge its 2x3 Turned it over then put on the new wheels and tires now it's a roller!

 

[btamkel]

ok now its a roller so i started on the tool box on the front and then added the fenders

 

[btamkel]

ok from here i built the lead reels the top is a roll bar i had left over thought it looked good plus might keep something from hitting the welder! put floor on getting ready for paint

 

[btamkel]

ok i know im just hitting the high points here but i'm sure you get the point. paint and putting it all together

 

[StumpXJ]

[Josh_C]
