................The only question/issue I have is that I'd be looking at close to $500 doing it your way, and we don't have any metal working/cutting tools. There would be an expense in that, too, yes? As a minimum, some type of metal cutting device/grinder. From what I can tell, those aren't terribly cheap.

Leslie,

You could also use metal cut off blade in a circular saw. Or you could rent a metal cutoff saw.

Aside from the axle ~$200 for a torsion axle, the next biggest expense are the wheels & tires. You can get by with used tires on crummy wheels but why go to all the trouble of building a nice looking trailer to have it sit on ugly wheels with iffy tires. I've had trips delayed because of old crappy trailer tires. Even though they were a cheapey tire, I went ahead and bought new ones.

You can get some junk yard steel wheels, paint them, and use some of those baby moon hubcaps.
