Reply:LOL I guess that 1000k was a type  O no! Heehhehe. Im going to build a trailer to put it on and I was looking at some of the trailers that people have posted here. The trailer its on now is rather flimsy and I have a friend that is going to supervise my work. See that hes a welder and Im not, I wanna be safe. Not sure if Ill mount my botles on it yet or not, or just make a rack to put them in. Thanks guys and merry Christmas
Reply:We like pictures so if you post a picture of the trailer you have or any design ideas/drawings you have we may give advice that you can ignore if you want. I have some ideas for a trailer but no need for one. My trailer would have a fab table at a decent work height and a vice. Storage under table. Having to fab things up on the ground sucks and hurts the back.If you work at night then some lights are a nice feature.
Reply:FeetfatsNot to mention, the knees, they dont move like they used to. I have a ridged pipe vise that I use alot. I like the chain to hold things, real handy. When I worked at the small eng shop I took a generator frame with wheels and handles and made a table out of it. I really didnt think much about storage other than mounting a truck tool box on it somewhere. Heres what its on now. I pulled it about 120 miles when I bought it with no problem, but Id like it a bit more sturdy. Ive been a truck driver for the last 20 pluse years so I guess Im a little more "picky" on how things move down the high way. I thought I may pick up a small 4x8 or 5x10 trailer to put it on. I traded some small eng blocks and eng parts to a friend of mine for everything I need to build one. Here again, I will need his suppervision to build this. Im not afraid to push my limitations,as  this is how you learn, but if something fails, well it will be on a road and I dont want to indanger anyone. One thing I like about the post's I read is that someone all ways brings up the liability with welding for the general public. I never really looked at it from that POV, but do now after reading this site. Heres the one its on now. Attached Images
