You are creative and skilled. You will go far in your career.
I am interested in how you chose to make your doors. Could you snap a few pics or describe how you are doing them? Thanks

I am not going to use the T trim around my doors. I am trying to make them seal like a car door and have a clean edge like one also. This may prove to be difficult. I want windows where the seal doesn't show and it has no trim.
I have to say I was very surprised that using T trim on the outside of the aluminum skin ,with the gasket in between, produced a good seal. It seems like water would just find a way to leak in at the top.
One thing I thought of is I want the gaskets mounted only to the door so I don't have dirt building up behind them and I am much less likely to damage it getting in and out.
I bet your doors will be nice and light. I have two slabs of 1" thick plywood for doors. I am going to rout them out to get rid of alot of the weight. If I had it to do over I wouldn't have used 3/4" plywood on the outside. The composite way you are making yours is better.
BTW your welds are spectacular for a 120V machine. I also like how you capped the ends of all the tubes.
Did you order the flexiride axle? Or did someone local have it. What is it rated at? I have a feeling I am going to end up cutting this torsion axle off that I took off my other trailer. I think it is going to be too stiff and ride rough.
