    I've done some work in AutoCad and 3-D Cad. It was a long time ago but no longer have access to the programs. If sketchup is free I might look into that. Could definitely make upcoming projects easier.

    Chris, you mentioned spring hangers, so I imagine you went traditional leafs, but have you any experience with Torsion axles? I was really debating those since I'd keep the load at sub 1000 lbs usually and just having an independent suspension might give a smoother ride.

    Honestly, my jetski turned flatbed turn motorcycle hauler trailer I bought for $100 from my neighbor that I slapped a box on for adventure trailer (It's the most ghetto of trailers) pulls incredibly well because of the long neck and set back axle. I'm probably not building anything anytime soon because this thing is kinda kicks ass for long road trips (I did a 1600 mile trip in September) and I got $100 + another $150 for new tires and repacked the axles, so it's pretty much dirt cheap as they get.

    I pulled one of those HF trailers for along time with my 4 wheeler and helping people move. Put it through a ton of abuse and it kept rolling. I don't have any experience with torsion axles but the main reason I didn't go that route is its uniqueness makes it hard to trail/roadside fix; as well as its parts availability compared to traditional springs.

    Yep, sorta like the ones at Gilmer. We'll be there that afternoon but won't be at the park. Probably will meet up with everyone for dinner

    I used to do it for fun, but a fair amount of remodeling too. My father-in-law was a carpenter for 40 years, so when I married his daughter I sorta got trained. It has paid off, when I remodeled my kitchen I took it to the slab on the floor and studs in the walls and rebuilt it from CAD drawing using 3/4" birch ply. I got a customized kitchen setup with real wood vs particle board and I probably had $2500 in it, even with paint. I build a bar out of Maple on the other wall, but decided to stick with Quartz countertops, so glad I did. They weren't cheap, but honestly I didn't think I'd enjoy building wood countertops. Tablemaking and cabinetmaking are somewhat different and I don't have the patience for tabletops.
