Hey, so far, you guys are coming up with some cool names, though I’m not sure about Squishit… :?

Corwin, I have an alternate profile design with a rounded front end. I too think it would look better, but more difficult to build as 1/4â€

The week is up tomorrow. I've already decided on one name out of the ones suggested so far here on the forum. If anyone else has any to suggest, submit them by tomorrow evening for consideration.

Thanks again.

I'm actively working on plans to build this TTT. It won't take as long as it did to develop the plans for the Squidget, as I'm rewriting those plans for this one, saving lots of thinking and writing time.

I really do need to build this trailer to make sure that the plans are 100% accurate, but not sure if and when I can do that. Actually, I also REALLY want to build it just for fun. I might not get to use it much, but I think I'd keep it for a while just in case. Having sold the Squidget, I know that I could sell this one and get it's cost back if I decided to sell it.

seeing as how you are building on the success of the Squidget, I'd definitely go with SquishIt. But I know how you are... You probably chose something like Squidget GT!!!!! :duh:

Just kidding!!!

The "GT" in "Squidget GT," stands for "Glide Top," in an effort to build on the "Squidget brand." So, "Slider GT" would equate to "Slider Glide Top?"

Since Squidget is a tongue-in-cheek ref to the 1960's Gidget; perhaps a tongue-in-cheek ref to her boyfriend?

Remember the name?

Funny you whould mention White Castle. Between us, my Sister and I have about a dozen White Castle coffee mugs that my folks collected back in the 1940s. I cn remember the little "white castle" my folks took me to for the slyders. These mugs are a little different from any I've seen on E Bay, which were all newer, probably from the early '60s. If I did name it White Castle, I'd have the coffee cups to go with it. This a photo of one of mine.

Ain't life a hoot !

just too cool.

As kids my brother sister and I would start begging about 30 miles out of Indianapolis to get dad to stop for a sack.

Newly married 1st wife and I would drive 75 miles round trip from Crawfordsville to Indianapolis to get a supply.

Still stop in every 6 months or so.

Love those coffee Mugs !
