Glue works better with wood, but it's hard to weld two pieces of wood together....
Trailer looks awesome sir

Not this cat Curtis! Lol My snoring is the worst from 2-4 but after that, the air biscuits pretty much take over the show... It will keep the bears at bay for sure!

Wow !! Very Nice!, lots of hard work and excellent skills you have! How did you bend the wood? Steamer box? Any plans for the rims and or hubcaps?

Thanx, the frame wood is spruce, i cut and planed all to dimention then left it out in the rain for a couple of days, spruce luvs to be wet, but you have to go slow with it, steaming would have been quicker, but the task at hand was slow and tedious anyway. Not sure about the wheels yet, axle and hubs are in place (5x4.5) I have a set of old beat up Key stone mags, they might clean up OK, but 14" classic with baby moons and beauties would be perfect, maybe even true spokers, but have no idea where to track them down, been looking all over, but no luck so far.

Looking good, just have to do something about those wheels though Thanx, I`m on the prowl for a pair(3) 14" dodge or similar rallies, or something along the lines of the old 1/2 or full moon hub cap type. Anyone know where I might find some, 14", 545 bolt ptrn.

The Dodge Rallies would be nice but I think the Baby Moons would fit the style of the trailer better Sorry I don't have any leads on a set, but I'll keep my eyes open if any pop up.

Wow that looks fantastic! If I tried that i would end up with a very expensive pile of glue covered fire wood! Your eye for detail and patience must be phenomenal!
Not to mention thats quite the collection of C-clamps!
