Looks great, and you were worried there would not be room inside for your beard! Plenty of room!
Good job :applause:

:thumbsup: Looking good! Is a WOF a certificate of inspection needed for the registration?

P.S. Will gladly trade you a little heat for some frost.....

Hi Nose oil,
WOF is an annual inspection to see if it is roadworthy
I failed, due to one of my wheel bearings being a bit loose. I was scared of crushing em so erred on the gentle side

All better now, I will get my Warrant of Fitness (WOF) tomorrow at 8am then register her after that. Then she is legal

All in all for my first trailer build and first welding project I am a happy man

Nice on the wof!.
Ive got a coleman northern star duel fuel i got for $30 bucks .
They were retailing for 200 bucks but they ran out of a cheaper model and offered me this instead.
Runs on unleaded petrol,shell lite or coleman fuel.
8 hours burn time at 1280 lumens on less than 1/4 a liter of petrol and its push button ignition to.
Love it!

So I was wondering what trim you would recommend to weatherproof my doors? I was thinking of a 2" wide strip cut to overlap the door outside by 1/2 an inch, this would give protection from driven rain.
(I will be doing this inside the doors to act as a jamb so cutting 4 will be easy as I will have the 1st as a stencil, it does use a lot of wood though (I will need to purchase 2 sheets of ply I think)



Im open to other ideas
