Excellent progress, this is going to look sweet being towed behind "Maizie". What sort of weight do you anticipate the trailer is going to be?.

Sketch of the subframe I will be making this out of timber first as I am better with wood than metal


As it turns out you are very good with metal work! Looks great :thumbsup:
