Hello All

Postby Eric Barnes » Tue Oct 23, 2007 12:19 am

Hello everyone,

I've been reading posts like mad for a few months and decided to finally throw my hat in the ring here and introduce myself.

I started this little project as a small trailer for my ATV to pull around. I did some searching on the net for small trailers and you can imagine what kept comming up. The more I looked at those cool little trailers the more it appealed to me. Almost as much as the whole project frightens me :)

I feel like I've made some good progress but I'm starting to worry and thought I would throw my build out there for anything that might be waiting to bite me and I just don't see it yet. This is a work in progress and I'm designing as I go :oops: so far I don't think I have screwed up too bad.

Anyway, if anyone wants to see my progress I have been keeping track as I go at http://www.iknownothing.net/tear

Thanks for having such a great place to rummage through for ideas.

Eric

Thanks for the kind words Podunkfla.

After following some of the builds by real craftsman out there I was almost afraid to put up my progress, mistakes and all. I am definetly no carpenter but as long as it doesn't leak when I'm done, I'll be happy.
