I ordered my trailer from Northern Tool in late August and it arrived in two large boxes; both of which were pretty beat up from shipping from Asia. I picked it up at the local store and here it is in my truck. I also picked up wood for the floor and some other building materials about the same time.
After a few weeks of getting my act together I started the trailer assembly last week. Here are some pictures of that process. Since I have a pick-up I am not going to use the trailer to haul wood in for the build so I did not put on the fenders or lights.
After I got the trailer together and squared up I started to cut the poplar 1X4's for the flooring frame yesterday. Before I assemble the pieces I needed to get some idea of how to use a pocket screw jig since I never had used pocket screws or a pocket screw jig before. I used some scraps to see how that process worked. Here is the first pocket screw joint I made using the jig. It seemed like a very straight forward process.
With my wife travelling on business for 1.5 weeks I am hoping to get the floor built over that time.
Hope all is well!
